By inserting a special film between the surface and the interior of the shoe, exceptional waterproof properties have been achieved. This film contains numerous tiny holes that allow moisture to escape.

The insole is made from a mesh material, allowing air circulation between the inside and outside, reducing the discomfort of sweat. Additionally, the toe area, which is easily visible, uses durable genuine leather resistant to scratches and wear, combining durability with a sense of luxury. This shoe will effectively protect your feet from sudden rain and be a reliable choice in business settings.
