HEP
Founded in 1952 in Nara, Japan, known for its footwear, HEP continues to evolve its sandals, traditionally loved as house slippers in Japanese households, with updates that carry them into the future.
Light and Soft Fabric
The upper is made from lightweight, waterproof artificial leather, constructed with a polyurethane resin on the surface and a nonwoven fabric layer inside, creating a structure and appearance similar to natural leather.
Compared to genuine leather, this material is easy to clean with water or dry wipes and is highly resistant to stains, maintaining its appearance over time.
Comfortable Walking Support
The footbed features thick sponge padding, providing a soft yet firm feel that reduces fatigue even during prolonged wear.
The toe area is reinforced with a stiffening material that prevents deformation, enhancing stability while walking.
The heel is slightly raised, which reduces slipping compared to flat designs, preventing the sandals from slipping off while walking.
The sole is made from a flexible and lightweight custom polyurethane, ensuring comfort and ease of walking, even during the winter when heavier footwear can weigh you down.
Versatile Design for Any Outfit
With its plain and neutral design, this sandal pairs easily with any outfit, making it perfect for any season. The focus on comfort ensures that it performs well for both casual outings and extended wear.

Staff comment
Men's Fitting Comments
● Staff (165cm/52kg) Usual Shoe Size: 25.5cm Wearing: Size L (25cm) With standard thickness socks, there is a bit of extra room around the foot width and instep. There is about one finger's gap at the toe, and the heel fits comfortably. The fit is perfect even with thicker socks, but it is recommended to try both sizes to find your ideal fit. |
● Staff (171cm/61kg) Usual Shoe Size: 26cm Wearing: Size L (25cm) / Size LL (26cm) The foot width and instep fit just right for a sleek fit. There is almost no gap at the toe, but it doesn’t feel tight, and the heel fits well. The size works well even with thicker socks. |
● Staff (177cm/67kg) Usual Shoe Size: 27cm Wearing: Size LL (26cm) The foot width feels slightly tight, but there is no discomfort, and the instep fits perfectly. The toe area has almost no gap, and the heel fits snugly. Those with wider feet or who prefer a looser fit may want to go up a size. |
Women's Fitting Comments
● Staff (152cm/43kg) Usual Shoe Size: 22.5cm Wearing: Size S (23cm) The foot width has plenty of room, with about one finger's gap at the toe. The instep is also sufficient, so thick socks would fit comfortably. This is the size I would recommend. |
● Staff (158cm/49kg) Usual Shoe Size: 23.5cm Wearing: Size S (23cm) The foot width is just right with no tightness, and there is a bit of extra room at the toe. Since the heel is open, the shoes are easy to put on and take off, while still offering good support. They are easy to wear. |
● Staff (164cm/54kg) Usual Shoe Size: 24.5cm Wearing: Size M (24cm) The foot width and toe area fit perfectly, and since the heel is open, there is no tightness. The instep also has enough room, so I would choose this size. |
