Shoes Like Pottery

The hallmark of Shoes Like Pottery is the vulcanizing process that is performed by only a select handful of shoe manufacturers around the world. The process is called ka–ryu in Japanese. Each shoe is fired in a kiln which causes the sulfur mixed inside the raw rubber to chemically react, returning the rubber to its natural elasticity and creating a soft, flexible, and durable sole.  Shoes Like Pottery features high–quality, textured fabric, hand–sewn by the skilled craftsmen of Kurume.
