Crafted by Artisans in Domestic Factories

A Symbol of JapanEsteemed Shoe Manufacturer "Regal". In the 1960s, it collaborated with the then wildly popular brand "VAN," spearheading the Ivy League boom. Classic men's shoes like loafers, plain-toes, and wingtips were proposed as fashion items, permeating youth culture. Today, it is no exaggeration to say Regal sets the standard for Japanese footwear, beloved by men of all generations.

The models featured here belong to the new premium line for women, launched this spring. Applying the design principles and construction methods that Regal has long championed, these shoes are meticulously handcrafted by artisans in domestic factories, just like their men's counterparts.



The representative wingtip model is crafted using the Goodyear welt construction, a hallmark of the brand. Through numerous refinements, an original last designed to fit the feet of Japanese women has been created, achieving a beautiful silhouette and superior fit. Furthermore, natural cork is incorporated within the sole, ensuring the shoes mold to the wearer's feet over time.



For models with heels, the process of attaching the upper is meticulously done by hand by artisans, a technique known as "hand-stitching," rather than using machinery. The layered heel features dyed leather stacked and then sliced into blocks before being wrapped around a core material, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship.

The premium line is priced between 20,000 and 40,000 yen. In addition to Goodyear welt construction shoes, which allow for sole replacement, there are also models made with the flexible McKay construction. Few other brands offer women's shoes made with these traditional methods. We invite you to find a pair at Regal that you can cherish and wear with pride for years to come.
