Fors

Sale price¥0

The "Fols" model combines the best of both leather shoes and sneakers. Made with the Goodyear construction, these shoes can be worn for a lifetime with regular maintenance and sole replacements. Goodyear construction is initially stiff, but as you break in the shoes, the cork and insole will slowly sink in, conforming to your feet. The sole unit is made of lightweight, cushioned EVA and original rubber. These leather shoes offer the lightness and comfort of sneakers.

Size:

Marcolast [E]:Based on the Mikey last, this men's shoe silhouette has been adjusted to give a sneaker-like feel while still maintaining a sharp, formal look. [Width E]. If your usual sneaker size is 26.5-27.0cm, we recommend the size 26.5cm.

    私がこの靴をネットで購入する時、確かにいろいろ不安でした。「足のサイズに合うだろうか」などと思い悩んだのは事実です。ただ、お店の方から丁寧に対応していただき、私の足のサイズにぴったりなものを送っていただきました。とても親切な対応でした。
     実際届いて足を入れてみると、本当に履きやすく良い製品だと実感することができました。私は歳も重ねており、足に魚の目ができたりと、だんだんと足に無理がきかなくなってる年齢です。だから履きやすく、私の年齢にも合う製品が欲しくて、今回ピッタリだと、とても満足しております。とにかく自分の足との一体感が素晴らしく、ずっと履いていたいと、そう思うほどです。多くの人にその良さを知っていただきたく、こうして拙い感想を書かせていただきました。

    普段遣いできるプレーントゥの短靴を探してました。レザーが良いけど正直ケアは面倒で、悪天候を気にするのは億劫だなと。
    かといっていかにも合皮のチープな質感や造りのものも嫌だな、と。
    この商品はその要望を見事に満たしてくれました。オンライン購入でのサイズ交換にも実に迅速に丁寧にご対応くださり、満足度は今のところ非常に高いです。
    これから長く付き合っていった先のエイジングを楽しみにしています。

    革靴っぽい雰囲気なのに、履き心地が硬くなくて好き。ちゃんとした格好にも、デニムにも合う。
    グッドイヤーだけどEVAソールだから返りがよくて、足裏が痛くならない。ヘビロテしてます。防水レザーだからケアが楽ちんなのも◎。

ABOUT " Fors "

The crystallization of craftsmanship

The shoe factory produces waterproof steer leather with a long-established tannery, and Goodyear, a material that is now rare in Japan. The factory also produces sneaker soles for many years. This shoe is the culmination of the techniques of craftsmen who have been dedicated to making shoes in Japan. The upper design is a timeless classic, with an open lacing and plain toe. This model is easy to match with any style, whether on or off the job, formal or casual. It is the brand's flagship model, timeless and wearable for years to come.

Sneakers using the Goodyear manufacturing method

This pair was made possible by working with one of the few factories in Japan that can use the Goodyear manufacturing method. Finish by sewing the upper and welt onto the ribs (tape-like) attached to the inner sole of the Bens. Since the upper body and sole are not directly sewn together, there is little damage to the upper when replacing the sole, so you can use it for a long time. The sole unit is laminated with an EVA processed sole that fully utilizes the know-how of sneaker soles.
It combines the solid feel and robustness of Goodyear manufacturing, yet provides the comfort of sneakers.

Subtle sneaker elements

Although FORS is a leather shoe, it is subtly designed to be as comfortable as a sneaker. Sponge is placed in the heel and tongue to reduce blisters and pressure points. The sole unit is made of EVA and original rubber for high cushioning. This pair is packed with sneaker-making know-how, even in places you might not notice.

Pattern design that follows the foot

Although the design is the most standard outer wing type plain tow, the pattern is designed to be asymmetrical in a way that is invisible to the naked eye. The reason is that the craftsmen make adjustments at the millimeter level to follow the shape of the human foot. By doing so, you can achieve a better fit when you put your feet in. For this model, I redrawn the pattern many times, added additional samples, and repeated samples until I was satisfied.

Attention to detail in materials

Waterproof steer leather created with a long-established tanner that has been around for 100 years. It does not have the flat look of waterproof leather, but maintains the look of solid genuine leather, and with the same care as regular leather, you can enjoy its aging. You can feel safe even in case of sudden heavy rain. The midsole uses benz, which is considered to be particularly heavy and high quality among tanned leather, and cork material is placed inside Goodyear, which is invisible. Steer leather is also used for the inner material (lining). Plenty of high-quality materials are used not only in the visible parts, but also in the invisible parts. All of this is to ensure that you can wear it for a long time. This is because we hope that those who are accepted will form a lifelong relationship with us.

About choosing the size

Blueover comes in seven sizes in 1cm increments: 22.5cm, 23.5cm , 24.5cm, 25.5cm, 26.5cm , 27.5cm , and 28.5cm.

We recommend that you compare the size of your shoes with your own foot size. When standing, measure your foot from the tip of your longest toe to the back of your heel.

Blueover shoes are wide and have ample space for the toes, so if you wear shoes with a narrower width, you may be able to fit in one size smaller. If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us.

  • How to get the right size

Blueover is designed with a loose forefoot. When wearing the shoes, make sure your heel is perfectly aligned and tie the laces tightly (to secure the instep). If you wear the shoes loosely, your feet will move around inside the shoes, resulting in an incorrect fit and making you more tired.

  • If the size doesn't fit

At blueover, you can return or exchange items if the size doesn't fit.

Please send an inquiry about size exchange to blueover within one week of receiving the product. Please return the product [shipping prepaid] within one week of receiving the reply with the return address. After confirmation, blueover will send you the exchange size [free shipping].

<Notes>

  • We will only accept exchanges for unused items (you can try them on indoors). We cannot exchange sneakers (including the box) that are scratched or dirty, even if they have been tried on.
  • The one-time free size exchange is only available to those who wish to exchange an item, so you will be responsible for the shipping costs for returns only.
  • If the size you wish to exchange is out of stock, we will exchange it for another color of the same price, or refund your money.
  • You will only be responsible for shipping costs for exchanges up to one size change.

If you have any concerns or suggestions for improvement regarding the fit, please feel free to contact us.

We look forward to your continued support of blueover.
