Takashi Fukuda

Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , B1F = Men's shoe buyer. 12 years of experience as a men's shoe buyer. 6th year as a men's shoe buyer in total. Creator of popular events such as Kick the City and JAPAN Shoe Expo. A man who loves shoes and whose life is sustained by shoes. His motto is "Comfort is Luxury." He says that what matters is whether it feels comfortable to him.

I've selected three pairs of shoes for the "basic jacket and trousers businessman." Having worn a variety of shoes throughout my 40s, I've found that a relaxed design and material that can be worn both on and off duty are crucial.

Even though the basic outfit is jacket and trousers, once you reach your 40s, you need straight-tip shoes that can be worn for formal occasions like weddings and funerals. JALAN SRIWIJAYA 's Goodyear welted leather soles have a unique volume that makes them easy to coordinate and highly recommended.

U-tip shoes are versatile and easy to pair not only with jackets and trousers, but also with casual wear, making them a great choice for weekend styles. These JARamis shoes feature a neat moc toe and a lightweight rubber sole. They are a comfortable and flexible choice.

Since more people are wearing loafers in the fall and winter, I chose a pair from REGAL . Suede has a reputation for being difficult to care for, but basically, all you need to do is apply a waterproofing spray and brush them occasionally. The waterproofing spray repels water and fine dust, so it's very easy to care for.
