The person who chose

Sota Miyashita

Assistant buyer for men's shoes on the first basement floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . A young professional with five years of experience specializing in men's shoes, having handled all areas from high-end to casual. He is enthusiastic about creating a fun floor that satisfies intellectual curiosity, stimulates the senses, and uplifts the spirits. His motto is, "Fortune comes to those who smile." He is a graduate of a prestigious high school baseball team and has participated in the Koshien tournament three times in total (spring and summer).


I did some research the other day when I met up with my university classmates, and it seems that many of them follow a style of "suits twice a week, jacket and trousers three times a week," and that shoes that are clearly stylish are important. For people who switch between suits and jacket and trousers, I've chosen three pairs that can be worn both on and off duty. I wanted them to have just the right amount of individuality and give the impression that "they're wearing different shoes every day," so I selected three pairs with a wide range of designs, colors, and materials.


1. Scotch Grain


SCOTCH GRAIN boots ¥46,440


I chose SCOTCH GRAIN 's chukka boots because they can be worn with suits, jackets and trousers, and even on rainy days. They feature a durable Goodyear welt construction, a rubber sole, and a casual yet stylish look that pairs perfectly with denim on weekends.


2. ESPOIR


Espoir Shoes ¥20,520

These brown suede shoes are from ESPOIR. With a moderately sharp last, they're a perfect match for Italian-style suits. Matching the textures of materials, such as a wool tie or suede belt, creates a cohesive look.


3. Otsuka since


Otsukasins 1872 shoes: ¥42,120

Wingtip shoes pair well with tweed and wool jackets. On weekends, they can be worn with casual outfits like jeans and a knit sweater for a country-style look.

Next point: a relaxed feel, 3 shoes that make a great impression with jacket and trousers style.
