MOONSTAR / MUD GUARD Sneakers

Canvas Sneakers for Fun in the Rain
Low-cut sneakers from the "All Weather" series, based on the concept of shoes for all weather conditions. The canvas upper is laminated with rubber to prevent water from entering, making your feet comfortable even on rainy days. They are also useful for other outdoor scenes and outdoor events and festivals.

They are made using the vulcanizing method, which can only be produced in a few factories in Japan, and are characterized by being soft, strong, and unbreakable.

The low-cut design adds to the ease of use, making them an ideal daily item.
The elaborate and beautiful "quality of workmanship" that can only be produced by skilled handcraftsmanship makes these a pair that also has high potential as a fashion item.MOONSTAR
MOONSTAR has been making shoes for a long time in Kurume, which flourished as a town of rubber industry with the production of Tabi Shoes since 1873, The technology and experience cultivated over the company's long history are reflected in the various items created by studying the human foot shape and paying particular attention to rubber materials.
The phrase "MADE IN KURUME" represents our confidence and pride in the "serious shoemaking" that we have continued since our founding.


Making method and materials are the main points

The "vulcanizing method" is used to make shoes comfortable and durable.

The vulcanization process is a shoe manufacturing method that utilizes a chemical reaction in which sulfur is added to raw rubber and heat reacts to change it into rubber with elasticity and strength.
The sole is made flexible and soft, and the bond between the sole and upper is strong and durable.

The sole is soft and supple, and the bond between sole and upper is strong and sturdy.

This method requires large facilities and too much human labor, resulting in low productivity and fewer and fewer factories.

These shoes are the quintessential gem of the shoe industry, made in a factory in Kurume, Japan, using such a valuable manufacturing process, while also paying careful attention to the dyeing and processing of the fabric and the rubber material.Balanced double construction
The characteristic double covered toe and heel cups are wide enough to prevent water from entering. The calculated balance of the very wide width and the dull sheen of the rubber create a calm impression. The design of the toe, which has an uneven shell-like shape, is also a good accent.

The zigzag outsole design provides a secure grip even on wet surfaces.Functionality and looks
Canvas sneakers can be worn with a variety of bottoms, and they can be coordinated with a wide range of outfits, but their weak point is that they get wet and dirty easily in the rain.

They are so wet-resistant that they can be used as rain shoes, and the wide rubber part makes them relatively stain-resistant.

The functionality that is unaffected by weather and the simple, relaxed look will surely make you want to wear them every day.
