The rainy season has finally arrived across the country. With so many rainy days, it’s a tricky time of year for wearing leather shoes. There’s an old saying that goes, ‘When swallows fly low, rain is on the way’...

The rainy season has begun again this year, hasn’t it? It really is a dreadful time of year for shoe lovers… Shoes that have been properly treated with cream are water-resistant enough to cope with a bit of rain, but even so...

The ”Chambord”, a classic model from Paraboot. The sole has been fully resoleed with Vibram #2070, and the shoes are still in good condition and ready to be worn...

It seems the rainy season is starting quite a bit later this year than usual. I’m not particularly fond of the rainy season, but when it’s running late, I find myself thinking, ‘I wish the rainy season would start already.’ How selfish of me...

Recently, we’ve been receiving a lot of requests to adjust belt sizes (to make them shorter). Whilst I’m grateful for this, I’ve also been wondering why there are so many. So...

The item we’re repairing this time is this pair of TOGA loafers. With their metal-accented saddle, they’re a striking pair that really epitomises the TOGA style. The areas requiring repair are...

There’s still a little while to go before summer, but we’re seeing more and more days with high temperatures, aren’t we? I imagine there’ll be more days in the coming season when you’ll want to wear sandals. So, this time, we’re looking at a summer classic...

It’s been raining a lot, and I’m feeling a bit fed up because I can’t ride my road bike, which I’ve only just had repaired. I suppose it’ll be like this for the next few months… They’ve always said it rains once every three days...

The other day, I had a barbecue with some colleagues. Although the forecast had been for rain and cloud until a few days before, we were blessed with lovely weather—in fact, it was almost too lovely, feeling almost like a summer’s day. Food tastes all the better when eaten outdoors. Having a drink from midday onwards...

These “Manège” side-gore boots from Paraboot have been well worn and show some creases, but that actually gives them a lovely look. When it comes to Paraboot, they’re known for their original rubber soles...

This time, it’s a pair of Repetto ballet flats. At first glance, they seem fine, but… it’s a case of hydrolysis in the sole. Originally, along the inner edge of the sole...

How did you all get on over the Golden Week holidays? I imagine some of you might be feeling a bit deflated after such a long break, but I suppose you’re starting to get back into the swing of things by now...
