We are an authorized retailer of the popular multi-purpose shoes "Harikuta"
Hello, this is the waji staff.
In a recent entry, I wrote about becoming an authorized retailer of Harikuta, a brand of washable genuine leather shoes.
This time, our staff will actually try on the items and find out the secret behind the series' popularity.
"Harikuta" is a new concept shoe that can be worn in any situation.
There are no restrictions on how you can use them; they can be chosen, folded, and put on immediately.
Wear them whenever you want, wherever you want, with whomever you want.
Are they shoes, slippers, sandals, or room slippers?
There are no set categories.
As you wish
Freedom to choose your own footwear
Harikuta (from Harikuta official website)
As stated on the official Harikuta website, these shoes can be used in any situation and are also functional as they are washable despite being made of genuine leather.

Try-on review: The firmness of genuine leather and soft comfort
Comfort and stability
When you put them on, you'll feel a comfortable, enveloping sensation. The soft material is so soft you can fold it up and carry it around, and the feeling of it gently enveloping your feet is sure to become addictive.
When you hear the term "soft shoes," what comes to mind is how easy it is to walk in. If the shoes are too soft, your feet will not be stable and you will end up tiring out.
The Harikuta series has a special sole that ensures cushioning, and since it combines softness and stability, I found it less tiring to wear.
A design that goes with any outfit
The design is simple and unisex. The color variations are black, white, and gray, and the ease of coordinating with other items highlights the characteristics of these "multi-purpose shoes."
The difference between the "Hari" series and the "Kuta" series
As the product names suggest, the "Harikuta" series can be divided into the "Hari" series and the "Kuta" series .
The "Hari" series has just the right amount of firmness, giving it the appearance of a genuine leather shoe. The embossed pattern also emphasizes its firmness. This lineup is recommended for those who prioritize ease of walking and stability.
The "Kuta" series stands out for its softness in both appearance and comfort. Its enveloping comfort is outstanding, so it is recommended for those who prioritize a relaxed feel.
Both series can be used as both outdoor shoes and indoor shoes, and I thought it was great that you could choose the shoes that best suit your preferred situation.
Shape variations
The variations available at the waji genre-less exhibition include lacing shoes that are characterized by their elegance, and relaxed loafers and moccasins.
You can also choose the one that best suits your situation and preference.
Recommended for:
After actually trying on these versatile shoes, I felt they would be especially recommended for the following people:
- Those who want soft, comfortable shoes for short outings
- Those who want to wear comfortable shoes at work but don't want to sacrifice a sense of security
- Those who want to wear soft yet elegant shoes for customer service or standing jobs
- Those who want to wash their shoes and keep them clean
