The upper pattern is made of a single piece of seamless leather that will fit your feet over time. Like leather shoes, the more you wear them, the more they will conform to the shape of your feet. The minimalist look makes them easy to match with any outfit, and they also make a great accent piece.

    ここ数年普段履きの靴選びで悩んでいた。3年ほど”HOKAONEONE”ボンダイシリーズ厚底に興味がありトライした。しかし、足全体が”しまる”感じで、長時間履くと脱いだ時に痛みのような感じが残った。厚底も経年劣化で外側に傾き、指先が擦れる感じがあった。特に昨年11月頃自分の不注意で足に豆を作ってしまい、その状態でHOKAを履くと治らず、4ヶ月の期間(とても痛かったっす)を経てやっと治りはじめた。
    今月図書館でファッション雑誌をパラパラめくると、マイキーの写真が目に入った。そのデザインが何となくしっくり来る感じがあった。自宅でメモったメーカー名からネット検索で見つけた!!!!!
    マイキーが良さ気だったけど、サイズが.5刻みなので物凄く不安だったが、サイズ説明を読んで観ると、フムフム”やっぱ26.5”でいける感じがあった。サイズ変更も可能だとあり、安心して早速注文!!! キタキタ今日(2023/03/10)届いた。うーーーん、ナイスなブルーだぞ。まずは家の中で一時間ほど履き、うんうん全然痛みもなく自然な感じ。
    その後、外へ歩きに歩いた。電車に乗った。ワークマンで仕事用の靴も購入で、何度も脱いだり履いたりした。最後は女房に頼まれた買い物をした。およそ4時間歩いた、座席に座る、靴の試し履き等などしたが全く問題無し。
    これからの外出用はマイキーに決まり。もう暫く履いた印象でベージュの購入も検討するつもり。
    いつかキャンパス地のシューズも作って欲しいな。

    スニーカーは履かないのですが、つい買ってみました。写真以上にいろいろな服に合いそうな作りです。試しに裸足で履いてみると、革の継ぎ目・縫い目が無いため、今まで味わった事のない心地よさでした。25.5cmを購入しましたが、大きさはジャスト。4Eに慣れた身には、指幅は少しタイトに感じます。履き慣れるとどうなるか楽しみです。

ABOUT " mikey taupe "

Simple and complete design

Mikey, a classic blue overcoat model that has been around since the beginning of the brand, has a last (foot shape) designed from scratch to fit Japanese feet, and a sole that is not too soft for walking. While the design has been stripped down, it has elements of a sneaker, resulting in a sneaker with an unusual appearance.

Sneakers created in cooperation with shoe-making regions in Japan

The leather, shoelaces, insoles, and soles used. and sewing, processing, and shoemaking. Blueover carries out all material sourcing, processing, and production domestically wherever possible. This is because we believe that it is necessary to continue the manufacturing and shoe manufacturing industry. Although the scale is small, we would like to continue the cycle of continuous shoe making together with local makers.

Super thick floor velor material that will surprise even leather professionals

The floor velor used for the classic Mikey's upper is made of rare velor material over 2mm thick. Due to its thickness, which even expert leather wholesalers are surprised by, there is no need for reinforcement such as lining, which is normally required, and it is flexible and strong. The velor material is easy to maintain and can be worn and grown for a long time.
*The image above is common velor. The floor velour, the leather underneath is used for Mikey.

Relaxed foot feel

The curve of the toe when viewed from above is a moderately relaxed curve, and the cross section of the forefoot is designed to be roomy. We try not to make you feel uncomfortable when you put your feet in. Designed to prevent looseness around the instep, ankle, and heel. When worn, the last is tight at the instep and heel, and loose at the toes. This is an original last that the brand is proud of, created through repeated trials with last craftsmen.

One-of-a-kind soles with a focus on walking around town

Mikey's sole uses a sole called a processed sole. The midsole is made of lightweight, cushioned EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) that does not undergo hydrolysis, and the rubber outsole is bonded to the midsole. This processed sole is made using a manufacturing method that is said to have originated in the 1970s when running shoes began to become popular. It is made by cutting sliced ​​EVA with a cutting die, pasting it with rubber, and polishing the sides with stones. You can adjust the comfort by adjusting the hardness. This sole is designed for walking, and is characterized by being slightly harder than regular running shoes. At the processed sole factory in Kobe, each item is still produced by hand.
