The "World Sandal Market," an annual summer event held at the men's shoe department of Isetan Shinjuku, is becoming a regular occurrence.
This year, we've gathered over 25 brands, ranging from established, traditional brands to up-and-coming ones, and presenting them through four themed categories: "URBAN," "ACTIVE," "RESORT," and "ONE MILE." From comfortable sandals perfect for around the house or in the nearby park to sophisticated sandals ideal for city wear or resort settings, we'll introduce a wide variety of options to suit every occasion!

1. URBAN
Perfect sandals for casual wear on your days off.

Whether it's shopping, lunch, or even a trip to the movies, when you have plans to go out, especially in the summer, you want to wear lighter clothing and sandals to stay as cool as possible. In this "URBAN" style, we introduce fashionable sandals that are perfect as everyday street wear.

YOAK "NORMAN LEATHER"
A simple design that you'll want to have at least one pair of.

YOAK 's "NORMAN LEATHER" sandals are an Isetan Shinjuku exclusive item, featuring leather straps instead of nylon ones for a softer feel against the foot. The voluminous shark sole also adds a nice accent, making them a great way to add a touch of style to a simple outfit.

With its user-friendly and simple design, it's easy to incorporate into any outfit and can be worn anytime.

HIJACK SANDALS “ARGO BLACH”
A pair of shoes that's somewhat futuristic and pop!

HIJACK SANDALS is an Indonesian sandal brand that will be making its full-fledged debut in Japan in the Spring/Summer 2023 season. True to its concept of "BEYOND THE BORDER," the brand offers a range of items that are both challenging and cute. The "ARGO BLACH" featured here has a nylon material covering the instep that can be gathered with a drawstring. The eye-catching orange cord would look great paired with nylon pants for a pop of color.

2. ACTIVE

These active sandals are perfect for outdoor activities and festivals!

As the weather gets warmer, the number of outdoor activities naturally increases. From barbecues and playing in the river to music festivals in nature, sandals are an essential item for summer events.
Here, we introduce sandals that are water-resistant and perfect for outdoor activities.

KEEN "UNEEK"
Classic outdoor sandals are a must-have item.

KEEN's "UNEEK" sandals have gained immense popularity in recent years and have become a signature icon for the brand. As the name suggests, they have a unique look, but they also have a secure heel and offer excellent support. They're comfortable enough to walk around in all day, are water-resistant, and can be worn with confidence in active situations. If you're unsure which sandals to choose, this is the one! A classic sandal you can go for.

BOHONOMAD "BODRUM"
Rope sandals from Turkey

Based on the "huarache," a type of footwear worn by Native Mexicans, BOHONOMAD sandals are durable, lightweight, and comfortable. They're also machine washable (just put them in a laundry net), making them a pair you'll want to wear often.
The recyclable polypropylene rope reduces the chafing pain typical of string-type sandals. Featuring a 100% pure rubber sole, these sandals are also highly regarded as vegan options.

Adding a pedicure to your sandals is a trendy way to enjoy summer sandals this year. Why not update your often-simple summer footwear?

3. RESORT

Leather sandals with a luxurious feel that can be worn as an extension of your everyday shoes.

With the pandemic subsiding, it's time for a long-awaited trip. Sandals are, of course, perfect for summer resorts. World Sandal Market offers sandals that maintain a polished look while still being suitable as "shoes" for limited luggage space.
The leather sandals featured here are especially recommended for those who don't usually wear sandals. They maintain a refined, understated elegance without being overly casual.

TOKYO SANDAL “DOUBLE MONK SANDAL (CORDVAN)”
Perfect for leather shoe lovers! Cordovan sandals available exclusively at Isetan.

TOKYO SANDAL, which utilizes bootmaking techniques to create its products in its own factory, is releasing a new item exclusively available at Isetan Shinjuku this year! The upper leather of the "DOUBLE MONK SANDAL," which luxuriously uses cordovan, has been replaced with Horween cordovan. The cordovan section has no lining, making it easy to wear even barefoot. It's a sandal for adults that you can enjoy the changes over time and will grow to love with each wear.
Furthermore, for the first two weeks of the event, it will be expanded as a Tokyo Sandal POPUP, so many other items from the same brand will also be available.

Jutta Neumann "Hermes" "Alice"
Leather sandals that combine lightness and luxury.

The American brand Jutta Neumann, based in New York, is also available at World Sandal Market. This renowned brand, known to those in the know, features a simple structure with a strikingly undulating sole. As you wear them and step on them, they change to conform to the shape of your feet, becoming more comfortable over time.
