Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building B1F = Men's shoe buyer. In my 14th year with the company, I've been in charge of men's shoes for 13 of those years. I've held positions as a buyer for local stores and private brands, and as a sales manager before assuming my current role. My current goal is to create a shopping environment that both customers and stylists can truly enjoy. My motto is "In life, there's no use crying over spilled milk." I live each day to the fullest and enjoy life to the fullest.

Crockett & Jones is a well-established brand of high-quality, comfortable shoes made using the Goodyear welt construction method in England. I own five or six pairs myself and wear them often, and their greatest appeal is their "ultimate balance." When choosing shoes in the morning, you probably select them based on your activities and motivation for the day, but Crockett & Jones shoes will suit you no matter what. They offer such a wide range of models and lasts. In particular, the "AUDLEY" model is a masterpiece that everyone knows.

Crockett & Jones is such a classic choice for authentic British shoes that it's practically synonymous with the brand. I wore their "Audrey" model during my second year at the company. I could never go wrong with them, and I was always happy to hear people say, "Those are nice shoes." Their earnestness seems to reflect the personality of Jonathan, the president of Crockett & Jones.
I love the sole, which is durable for farming yet flexible, and it balances well with the texture of the leather upper. The shoemaking is sincere, and you can feel their desire to "deliver a pair of shoes that you can be satisfied with." One of the themes this time is the "shoe last," which is made slowly and carefully for each pair, so the quality of the last is faithfully reproduced in the shoe. From the foundation to the smallest detail, it is made with the same seriousness and logic as building a house.


Tashiro Crockett & Jones is originally a factory brand, so they have accumulated know-how from OEM and other sources, and they do meticulous work such as changing the shoe last for Asia and Europe. In addition, their premium line, the "Hand Grade Collection," has uppers that are hand-painted, giving it a truly wonderful feel.
Saito: When you line up the shoes from these four brands like this, the depth and beauty of the upper colors of the Handgrade Collection really stands out.

Tabata: This time, I've chosen the "AUDLEY3," the successor model to the Audrey, and the "BELGRAVE 3," a punched cap-toe shoe. The "AUDLEY3" is an elegant cap-toe shoe using the "367" last, and is a well-balanced shoe that can be worn for everyday occasions as well as formal events. The "BELGRAVE 3" is a classic model that uses the same last, and is perfect for a look that is neither too dressy nor too casual. In addition, the "Courtney," a wholecut shoe with beautiful imitation punching, is a dressy shoe that uses the "363" last, which is one of the most elegant lasts in the brand's lineup.
