WHEELROBE: Where Style Meets Comfort


WHEELROBE crafts its shoes using lasts designed for Japanese feet. The Spring/Summer 2017 collection is distinguished by its use of foam soles, enhancing walking comfort.

Featuring Newly Developed Foam Soles


WHEELROBE, a shoe brand born in Japan in 2015, places great emphasis on its lasts. Based on proven, traditional lasts, artisans meticulously refine them to perfectly suit Japanese foot shapes. While prioritizing aesthetic beauty, the brand incorporates thoughtful design elements to support comfortable walking.

The Spring/Summer 2017 collection utilizes foam soles, which are lighter than leather. A common drawback of standard foam soles is rapid heel wear. WHEELROBE addresses this by incorporating a rigid rubber layer, approximately 5 millimeters thick, effectively solving the issue. The rubber is also replaceable, ensuring longevity and continued enjoyment of the shoes.

The sole's shape is elegantly curved, tapering towards the toe and thickening at the heel. This arch design ensures a snug fit, supporting comfortable strides.

The new collection features a lineup of shoes, including plain-toe styles and sandals, that blend casual wearability with a dressy aesthetic.

The plain-toe model, '15076U,' features a reinforced upper around the opening, offering greater durability than a raw-cut finish. Cotton flat laces add a casual touch, while the embossed chromexcel tongue provides a subtle accent.

The sandal model, '15081U,' incorporates cushioning in the insole for enhanced comfort and ease of wear. Its key feature is the ability to be worn comfortably without socks. The strap, crafted from embossed chromexcel, lends a sophisticated air, complemented by a larger buckle that matches the substantial presence of the chromexcel.
