Leather:
Uses 1.8mm thick IMPERMA-LEATHER.
To create a soft leather, we use A-grade Japanese daily steer rawhide.
This functional leather uses fluorine, is tanned using a special technique, and is dyed with oil to make it waterproof while maintaining its natural appearance.
This performance is applied not only to the surface but also to the fibers within, so it lasts almost permanently.
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about fluorine as an environmental issue, but of the hundreds of types of fluorine that are said to exist, ImpermaRazor uses fluorine that is not a pollutant, making it an environmentally friendly product.
Shoes made from this leather are incredibly soft and wrap around your feet.
The quality is so good that you'll be impressed with how comfortable they are from the moment you put them on.
Aging image:
Due to its waterproof properties, it is 100% chrome tanned, so the color will not be affected by aging.
However, since the leather contains a lot of wax, brushing it with a nourishing moisturizing cream will give it a more luxurious shine.

Last :
Based on the 1940s US NAVY service shoes, ARCHIVE TOKYO has fine-tuned the swing, toe, and instep height of the foot shape to create an original last [SV100] that is carved to fit the Japanese foot shape.

Process:
Goodyear welt construction
It is said to have originated in the late 1870s when Charles Goodyear Jr. invented a mechanical manufacturing method based on the hand-sewn welt method, using a lockstitch machine. Today, it is famous as a representative manufacturing method in the UK. It is also an essential method for making authentic shoes in Japan.
This manufacturing method has several features.
- Excellent durability and water resistance: The intricate stitching provides durability, and the shoe has a structure that has no gaps from the inside to the outside, making it also suitable for water resistance.
- A comfortable fit that becomes more comfortable with each wear. With this manufacturing method, the insole is packed with plenty of cork, so the cork sinks in with each step you take, and conforms to the shape of the wearer's sole.
This means that even ready-made shoes will fit your feet comfortably.
The upper and outsole are not directly sewn together, so the sole can be easily removed and repaired. As long as you take good care of the upper, you can wear it almost forever.

Waxed cotton lace.
Three colors are included as standard: Black, Olive, and Offwhite.
You can wear it with a dress or casually with denim, depending on your personality and mood.

Design Details:
The shoes are made with an external wing, commonly known as a derby type, in which the shoelace is passed through a wing that is sewn over the instep. Derby shoes are easy to put on and take off because they open and close easily, and the size can be easily adjusted. In addition, the design is easy to match with both dress and casual outfits.
The height of the upper is slightly higher on the inside and slightly lower on the outside. This allows for a stable fit while still allowing for a range of ankle movement. There are six lace holes, and the holes are not visible on the outside.
The lining is made of firm cowhide leather, which is perfectly matched with the soft upper leather.
The heel height is 2.8cm, designed with comfort in mind.

Single welt sole: The sole has stitching from the toe to the sole edge, but no stitching from the heel to the sole edge for a clean look. This gives the shoe a more stylish appearance.

Dogtail design: The upper edge of the seam at the heel is slightly shifted like a sickle blade, commonly known as a dogtail. This is not just a design, but a detail that purposefully shifts the seam to reduce the stress on the heel.

The ARCHIVETOKYO arch design is engraved in gold leaf.
The mark is designed as a classic one, inspired by the arch of the foot.

Outsole:
US VIBRAM #700
The chevron patterned sole makes it perfect for use on asphalt.
Because it is oil resistant, it is often used in engineer and work boots.
The rubber sole is designed to be slightly softer in hardness, providing good grip and making it comfortable to wear.
