Keep it long, treasure it long.

Makes walking a pleasure.

Shoes are important because they protect and support our feet. Even if you don't usually pay attention to them, if your shoes fit well, you can walk and run every day without stress. WALSH, created by genuine shoemakers, is a brand that represents such stress-free sneakers. These sneakers are a reflection of high manufacturing technology and passion for shoemaking.

The WALSH sneakers TORNADO-T XV2 /BLACK are a pair of shoes that have been given a simpler and more chic impression by eliminating the side lines that are a staple of the TORNADO series. The main body is unified in black, but the use of different materials, suede and nylon, gives the sneakers a subtle change in color. The silver logo on the heel stands out subtly against the all-black design, making this a classy pair of sneakers, the TORNADO-T XV2 /BLACK.

A fit you'll feel every time you walk

The "TORNADO" series is an improved version of a running model that is said to have been particularly favored by Mr. Walsh, the founder of the brand. It is a sneaker with a simple yet chic finish, and the design that follows the shape of the foot, the slip resistance, and above all, the lightness give a glimpse of the background that it was made for running. However, even though it is modeled after a running shoe, it is characterized by its beautiful coloring and stylish shape, making it easy to use as a sneaker for everyday use.

It is made with a focus on lightweight design, so you can feel the lightness of the upper when you put your foot in. The fit is comfortable, with a feeling that it fits the sole of the foot perfectly, and the sole is just the right thickness, so it can handle sudden stops like a car tire. The WALSH sneaker TORNADO-T XV2 /BLACK reduces the burden on your feet, and once you try it on, you'll be hooked.

Born by a genius shoemaker

In 1945, at the age of 14, Norman Walsh chose to become a shoemaker. He apprenticed at Foster Bros. Footwear, run by the grandfather of the founder of Reebok, and devoted himself to shoemaking. Foster discovered Norman's high level of skill, and he was recognized as a master craftsman. At the age of 16, he made shoes for the British Olympic team. At the Olympics, the athletes' records improved dramatically, and Norman's shoes became known to top athletes around the world.

Then in 1961, Norman founded Norman Walsh Footwear. Since then, he has manufactured sneakers for use in all fields, including track and field events, cricket, football, and rugby. In 1981, he provided shoes for the Everest climbing team. The shoes are flexible enough to withstand harsh environments and are recognized worldwide. The best feature of WALSH sneakers is that they are all made by hand. From sewing to sole attachment and packing, they are all done in the company's own factory in Bolton, England, where craftsmen who have inherited Norman's craftsmanship continue to carefully make each pair to meet the needs of various customers.
