HEP
Founded in 1952 in Nara, Japan, a renowned footwear manufacturing area, HEP has continuously updated its sandals to connect the comfort of traditional Japanese home footwear, like the slip-on sandals, to the future.







Comfortable for Long Hours
The upper is made of a soft synthetic leather that feels gentle on the feet. The combination of plain fabric with a slight sheen and the accent fake lizard skin material is unique to this store.

While the black color looks simple at first glance, the addition of fake lizard skin creates depth and a special feeling, adding just the right amount of elegance without being too flashy or too plain.





The middle layer uses lightweight and highly cushioned EVA material, with an insole that boasts sweat absorption, moisture release, antibacterial, and deodorizing properties, making it safe to wear barefoot.



The sole is made from a durable material that is resistant to wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting durability. The gentle slope from the heel to the toe supports comfortable walking.





Thoughtful Details for Ease of Use
The upper provides both breathability and a smart appearance. The simple design is easy to wear with or without socks, making it both functional and stylish.





The coloring of the edge-like parts between the layers and the insole is a custom detail unique to this store. A light brown color adds a subtle accent and enhances the special feeling.



Pay attention to the cut on the heel. This diagonal cut was originally designed to make it easier for drivers to position their foot on the accelerator.

It's a nod to the functional beauty of the past, a signature detail that embodies the brand's essence.



The back band features a 2-way design, allowing you to fold it back or wear it as a slip-on for easy on-and-off. Choose between two looks to suit your preference.





Simple Style that Matches Any Look
