Keep it long, treasure it long.

Easy to wear because they are slip-on

Although sneakers are often chosen for active outings because of their casualness, leather shoes still look good on adults' feet. However, leather shoes also have the image of being "stiff and tiring." TRAVEL SHOES' new series, Active, will dispel that image. The conventional TRAVEL SHOES also use functional soles with the image of walking around town, but this series was created to expand the range of activities and create shoes suitable for trekking and all-season hiking.

The slip-on rain TR-028 from the Active series. This pair combines the comfort of being able to put your feet in without having to re-tie the shoelaces with the elegance of leather shoes. These reliable shoes have the functionality to withstand tough situations such as the sea, mountains, and rivers, and are perfect for trips that combine city walking and trekking.

Available in two colors: black and white. Black is a classic color that goes well with any outfit. White is a gentle color that gives you the feeling of chausser's soft leather texture. You can wear it with a wide range of outfits, from casual outfits with denim and T-shirts to traditional skirts and pants.

Elegant and reliable

The TR-028 slip-on rain shoes are great for any weather or outfit. The reason they are water-resistant despite being leather shoes is because of the leather processing. The leather is made of soft leather that is waterproofed on the surface while increasing strength and waterproofness by intertwining fluororesin with the fibers during dyeing. They repel water while allowing air to pass through and maintain breathability.

Rain protection is not only on the upper but also on the sole of the foot. The sole is made of MEGAGRIP from Vibram, a sole manufacturer that is trusted by many shoemakers. Vibram soles are made of rubber material developed from hiking boots that can withstand harsh environments, and MEGAGRIP in particular boasts Vibram's highest durability and grip. In addition, the traction lug shape is said to improve the power of stepping forward by up to 25%, and it has a grip even on wet roads and unstable gravel roads.

The thick cushion pad around the opening of the shoe gives a soft feel that gently wraps around the foot. The midsole also uses Vibram's lightweight EVA sole, making it lightweight and providing excellent cushioning. The insole is also designed to reduce shock when walking, making it the perfect shoe for rainy days and traveling to unfamiliar places.

The goal is "shoes that you will want to wear 30 years from now"

The brand was launched by designer and owner Yoichi Maeda. Influenced by his father, who was a custom-made shoemaker, he had an aspiration to make shoes from an early age and was in the shoe industry from a young age. After working in various jobs to deliver shoes to people, he became involved in planning and learned about shoemaking. The shoe manufacturer chausser was born after many such experiences. The brand name means "to wear" in French. They have one store in Ebisu, Tokyo, and are expanding in seven countries around the world. They want to make timeless, universal shoes that people will want to wear when they see chausser shoes in a second-hand clothing store 30 years from now. And they want to make shoes that can be worn for 30 years if they are taken care of. With that in mind, they aim to make shoes that people will want to wear forever.

Chausser shoes are not made for mass production. They have a warmth and charm that mass-produced products do not have. Even after leaving the hands of the craftsman, the flavor increases many times over time with the person who wears them, and eventually they are sublimated into a unique existence. That may be the charm of chausser shoes.
