TEP_P shoes were born from the desire for people to enjoy the act of walking in a different way of expression from the previous RENDO shoes, which were mainly made using the Goodyear welted manufacturing method.
Rather than relying on the shoe last to determine the comfort and shape of the shoe, the shoe shape is created by the wearer's changes over time as they walk and use the shoes themselves. Since no toe or heel core or lining is used, the sole leather upper wraps your foot, allowing you to take a soft and nimble step.
*Since there is no running, we recommend a slightly tighter size. The design uses moccasins, which are often seen in light mountain climbing shoes. It is a universal design that has been loved for a long time, and for TEP_P, who manufactures without using shoe lasts, it is a very good design for maintaining the appearance of the shoe.
This Special order is made in the Super Bag's old snuff color, with a quilted finish of the same material. It goes great with fennica 's classic army pants, chinos, and denim, and is an item that allows you to enjoy new styling.

[Precautions when wearing shoes]
・When putting on your shoes, use a shoehorn and tighten the shoelaces all the way to the top. There is a risk of injury to your feet or a fall due to the rope getting tangled. It can also cause damage to the openings of your shoes.
・Be sure to untie the straps before putting on and taking off. If you force your shoes off while the laces are still tight, the shoes may become deformed or damaged.
・As it is a natural material, each item has a different texture. Moisture and friction may cause stains, fading, and color transfer.

[About shoe care and storage]
- When cleaning your shoes, please use a cleaner, cream, etc. that is appropriate for the material. When storing your shoes, remove any dirt, dry them in the shade, and then store them in a place that will stay dry all year round. Storing it while dirty may cause discoloration or mold.

RENDO
A shoe brand based in an atelier and shop in Asakusa, Tokyo. The project involves creating original shoe lasts in the atelier. The creator, who is familiar with the background behind shoe lasts, uses his experience and skills as a pattern maker to incorporate classic designs into the pattern, thereby maintaining consistency without compromising the intent of the last. Creating a design with even more sophisticated lines, and based on the theme of "interlocking" which is the origin of the brand name, I personally visited the factory many times from the planning stage and talked with the craftsmen to ensure smooth manufacturing. By repeating prototyping and verification, we are able to produce shoes with high quality that are closer to the image.
