Manufacturer’s suggested retail price is 19,250 yen (tax included) to 26,950 yen (tax included). The “GEL-BIZ” series is a new business shoe developed with the concept of leading to high-quality performance and supporting the feet of business people who are leading the times. We offer two types: “GEL-BIZ AUTHENTIC” with an authentic design and “GEL-BIZ RUGGED GTX”, which is suitable for office casual wear. “GEL-BIZ AUTHENTIC” has two types: an inner blade straight tip and an outer blade plain tip. Delicate stitching is applied to durable and soft steer leather, giving it a high-quality impression that can be worn on formal occasions. There are two colors: black, which brings out the luster of the leather, and coffee, which has an antique texture. “GEL-BIZ RUGGED GTX” has two types: outer blade plane and outer blade U tip. Available in two colors: elegant deep black smooth leather and deeply grained grained leather for a casual look, it can be used for both formal and casual occasions. The lining is made of Gore-Tex fabric, which is highly waterproof and breathable. Image

In addition to a wide area in the front and rear of the midsole (intermediate cushioning material between the instep and the sole), the heel is equipped with fuzeGEL, a lightweight material made by combining proprietary sponge synthesis technology with GEL functionality, to improve cushioning and provide a soft feel throughout the sole of the foot. In addition, a high-hardness reinforcement material “HARD” is added to the middle of the sole of the shoe. E.V.A. (hard E.V.A.) suppresses excessive twisting when walking and supports stable walking. The sole of the shoe has a diagonal stripe design. Taking walking movements into consideration, we designed the stripes (grooves) on the inside and outside to be easy to walk in, with varying thickness and depth. At our company, we manufacture our own shoe lasts, which greatly affect the comfort of our shoes. The “GEL-BIZ” series also uses our original shoe lasts, and we completed a process of trial and error, adjusting the length and angle of the last to the millimeter to achieve a level of comfort that is difficult to quantify. In addition to being comfortable to wear, we paid particular attention to the beauty of the shoe’s appearance by precisely designing the length and angle of the toe and using a round last that suppresses the toe spring (the height of the part where the toe of the shoe curves upwards). 〇Product overview Product name GEL-BIZ AUTHENTIC (Inner blade straight tip) GEL-BIZ AUTHENTIC (outer blade plane) Product number 1231A286 1231A287 With 3E 3E Price 19,250 yen (tax included) 19,250 yen (tax included) Color Black Coffee Black Coffee Size 24.0-28.0cm (0.5cm increments) 24.0-28.0cm (0.5cm increments) Material Upper: Natural leather Outer sole: Rubber sole Upper: Natural leather Outer sole: Rubber sole Country of origin Cambodia Cambodia
