Among HARUTA's shoes, have you ever heard of "Spock"? We asked hip people on the street to try on these shoes, named for the simple and obvious reason that they are "easy to slip on and off. They are a highly versatile item that can be worn on busy mornings or on days when you want to be extra stylish, because they are easy to put on and take off while still having a noble appearance.

Did you know about HARUTA's "Spock"?

I knew of them. I used to work at LANTIKI, where customers often wore them. I remember I was very curious about which shoes they were wearing and asked them.

What kind of coordination do you use?

Since the shoes are sharp, I would dare to wear them with relaxed, wide-silhouette pants to enjoy the contrast. I also think they look cool in summer when worn with shorts for a more casual look.

Mr. Hiroshi Sakuta (1LDK staff)

Mr. Sakuta, I understand that you are a fan of HARUTA's "Spock.

That's right. When I was a college student, I went shopping at "LANTIKI" and saw the staff wearing them. He told me they were from "HARUTA. I remember immediately going to the Shibuya store to buy the same pair.

It's true that it's not too hard for college students to get a hold of.

I think it's more attractive to wear it like a sneaker, in a good way. I would recommend these shoes to those who want to experiment with the feel of leather shoes. With the resurgence of classic fashion, I think it would be interesting to challenge how you can incorporate these sharp-toed shoes into your own style.

What were your first impressions of these shoes and how did they feel when you tried them on?

The sole is rubber instead of all leather, so it is light and stable. I usually ride a bicycle, but I think I can ride in these at all. These shoes have a formal feel to them, but they are the kind of shoes that can accompany you in your daily life.

How would you coordinate these shoes with your current mood?

I like knitwear and sweatshirts, so I want to match them with such relaxing clothes. They look elegant, but they are not too expensive, and I can wear them for a quick trip to the convenience store. But I would feel totally comfortable wearing them when going out on a proper outing. If I had a pair in my entryway, I would wear them all the time.
