Rustic sandals that will grow on you over time.

May is the month in which the season is changing from spring to summer. The streets are bathed in sunlight reminiscent of early summer and a somewhat cheerful mood is in the air. Looking at the clothes of people walking around, it is not uncommon to see men dressed in T-shirts and shorts and women in one-piece dresses. Simply by looking at the fashion, one can sense the change of the season.

Sandals are an indispensable item of footwear for the coming fashion season. In the past few years, sports sandals made by outdoor brands have been gaining popularity, but this summer, interest is growing in classically designed sandals that give a more elegant look to the feet.

In this context, Steven Alan offers a large selection of sandals this season. In addition to original brands, the store also carries unexpected products selected from around the world. Every time you visit the store, you will find something new.

The sandals Stephen Alan is launching for this summer are characterized by craftsmanship. These sandals, mainly from domestic and overseas factory brands, are the kind of sandals that can be worn for a long time and become more and more beloved as time goes by.

Here are some of the most representative examples. First is the Mexican shoe brand "Chamula. Chamula is characterized by the use of thinly cut leather and traditional methods, and Stephen Alan has specially ordered a model that is not currently on sale. At first glance, the loafer-like form is impressive, and the use of an EVA sole that does not tire easily even after long wear is also a key point. We are pleased with the attention paid not only to the appearance but also to the comfort of the shoes.

From Spain, known for its shoe factories, "Steve Mono" and "Ria Menorca" will appear. The slightly quirky designs that let your feet take center stage are sure to catch the eye. The collaboration model between "United Studio Archive" and "Hishiya Karen Brosso" is unique and reminiscent of zori (Japanese sandals). Using Cordura nylon for the material and Vibram for the sole, the pair is a fusion of Japanese and Western styles.

Steven Alan also offers a wide variety of sandals. Find the one that suits your taste at the store or online store, and enjoy this summer's fashion as soon as possible.
