JoJoJojo's sandals ¥23,000+TAX (SS, S, M) ¥24,000+TAX (L, LL)

Spirit of Hospitality.

The most eye-catching feature is the impressive form of the nose strap. Try them on and you will be convinced. It fits snugly from the toes to the top of the foot and provides a lot of flexibility. The hanao part is made of a material used for swimsuits that is highly elastic and resistant to friction, and the "front pressure point" between the thumb and forefinger is made of a special rubber used for baby bottle nipples. This material flexibly conforms to the movement of the toes, helping smooth movement. This structure also plays a role in the comfort of the shoes. The rubber soles boast elasticity and abrasion resistance that will not be defeated by hard asphalt, and the special cork, a natural material that is gentle to the soles, are all part of the "consideration" that goes into making this minimalist pair of shoes comfortable to wear for a long time to come.
