Collection: Arai Shouten

Arai Shouten has been in business in Osaka for many years. Established in 1951 with a different focus, our journey has been akin to the flowing river, gradually evolving into the current shoe-centric business.

We remain committed to moving forward, always embracing new challenges to ensure the continuous flow of our journey.

Commitment to our products:
We specialize in shoes crafted from deerskin, often referred to as "the cashmere of leather."

All our deerskin comes from deer population control efforts throughout Japan. Originally slated for disposal, this leather, known as the "cashmere" of leather, now finds new life in our products.

Our commitment extends to eco-friendly and lightweight outsoles made from 30% less petroleum-derived materials. Utilizing the exclusive "Furo-shiki" manufacturing method, mastered by only a select few craftsmen, we ensure a gentle and comfortable fit.

We create shoes that are not only ethically produced but also offer consumers the immediate comfort of "shoes that fit perfectly from the moment you put them on."

Combining natural leather grown in the satoyama of Japan with an eco-friendly outsole, our shoes are meticulously finished by Japanese shoemakers. These shoes make for ideal gifts for mothers and grandmothers.
