RIG FOOTWEAR
Founded in 2019 after nearly four years of research into the differences between Western and Japanese foot structures, RIG FOOTWEAR is Japan’s pioneering recovery sandal brand. Designed specifically for the comfort of Japanese feet, its sandals offer exceptional support for post-work and post-exercise recovery. Compared with conventional hard-soled sandals, they help reduce stress on the feet and lower body, making them a comfortable choice for everyday wear.
A balance of flexibility and durability
The upper is crafted from CLARINO synthetic leather, offering the refined texture of natural leather while remaining lightweight, highly durable, and water-resistant.
Its natural stretch allows it to conform comfortably to the foot while adapting smoothly to active movement. From everyday wear to outdoor adventures, it is a reliable choice for any occasion.
Secure support that stays in place
The defining feature of the “kuruka 2.0” is its dual-strap construction, designed to hold the foot securely in place. The fit can be adjusted with precision to accommodate different foot widths and instep heights.
The flexible design moves naturally with the foot, helping reduce fatigue during long walks while providing comfort across a variety of terrain.
The Perfect Balance of Cushioning, Rebound, and Lightness
A three-layer construction consisting of a footbed, midsole, and outsole helps reduce impact on the feet and lower body by approximately 40%, ensuring lasting comfort throughout the day. The bucket-seat-shaped midsole supports stable movement while delivering gentle energy return for a smooth, natural stride.
The outsole is engineered to the standard of performance footwear, allowing confident movement on city streets and light trails alike.
Clean Design, Functional Appeal
A sleek, modern silhouette that avoids the bulky appearance often associated with recovery sandals.
Offering just the right amount of volume without feeling bulky, it pairs effortlessly with both shorts and tailored trousers. Combining the benefits of recovery footwear with everyday versatility, it strikes the ideal balance between performance and style.
