Genshiro’s Appeal (1): “The buckle design is easy to put on and take off, taking Japanese culture into consideration!
SANYOYAMACHO’s ” Genshiro” shoes use an elastic band to make it easy to open and close the upper buckle. When worn, the design is not inferior because the rubber belt is designed to be hidden and hidden from view by the monk strap. Unlike Western countries, this design is suitable for Japan, where people have the custom of taking their shoes off at home and even when dining out.

Attractiveness #2: “R2010”, a last with a high degree of perfection that creates a stylish look for Japanese people’s feet.
The prototype of Japanese leather shoes is a design with a short, flat nose and a plump toe to match the shape of the Japanese foot, a last design common among Japanese shoe makers. However, the R2010 used by Genshiro is a round toe with a good balance of nose length and stylish impression.

The small heel cup and narrowed arch are designed to fit Japanese people with flat feet, who have smaller heels and shallower feet than Westerners. The design also takes into account the characteristics of the Japanese foot, which has a high instep and a wide girth (foot circumference and width), to achieve a sharp design and a sense of hold by designing the shoe just low enough to fit the average Japanese foot.

Appeal 3: “A small selection of elite colors
SANYOYAMACHO’s Genshiro is available in two colors as a standard item. The first is black, made of finely textured imported leather that ages as it is worn in and becomes more lustrous the more it is polished.
And then there is the dark brown coffee, which is “hand-finished,” meaning that the craftsman who finishes the shoes painstakingly dyes each pair by hand. This onehas the characteristics of antique-like unevenness and the transparency of the leather increases as it ages.

Attraction 4) “Original Goodyear welt method for soft comfort!
The Goodyear welt method is used to join the upper and sole. This manufacturing method, which was born in the 19th century in the U.S., is still used today by prestigious British brands. Cork is laid inside the sole, improving the fit as the shoes are worn in. The appeal of this manufacturing method is that it is difficult to feel fatigue even after walking for a long time.

Attractive point 5: “High-grade Hidden Channel Finish”.
The outsole is made of leather and has a Hidden Channel finish, which is appropriate for high-end shoes. As the name “hidden” and “channel” suggest, this is a manufacturing method in which the leather sole is thinly frayed so that the groove where the Goodyear-welted stitching threads and stitches pass through is not visible, and the leather sole is stitched and then covered with leather. This is a manufacturing method that allows the wearer to enjoy the beautiful expression of the leather sole.

This is a traditional finishing method that is only profitable for high-end shoes because it requires skilled craftsmen’s techniques to process the leather sole skin and increases the production process. The use of delicate 1.2mm brass nails on the toes to enhance durability also shows the “iki” craftsmanship typical of Sanyo Sancho.
