1. Product feature

Get healthier with walking! HPS shoes make it possible with giving comfortable pressure by the effect of special shaped (patented technology) cork 100% insole designed with Japanese traditional finger pressure therapy (shiatsu, acupressure) method. Before reaching foot massage clinic, you can massage your foot only by enjoy walking!
Our insole is made of premium cork that has excellent property of elasticity, heat insulation, antibacterial therefore no matter how long you wear, you can wear it comfortable. The longer you enjoy walking, the healthier you get with wearing our shoes.

1) Elasticity
Cork is superior in shock absorption and recovery performance of compression. Even if pressed in a certain part, the recovery performance is high.

2) Heat insulation
Cork consists of 20-40 million micro cell per 1 cubic meter and it enables cork to insulate heat in summer, to keep temperature inside shoes in winter.

3) Antibacterial
Cork is used in wine bottle as we know. It is because of antibacterial ingredient contained in cork. That is one reason why we adopted cork in the main raw material in insole.

4) Health enhancing pressure points
HPS insole is designed in the shape of YUSEN (*) pressure point that stimulates waist, abdomen, curing sensitivity to cold, enhancing blood flow. The shape of insole reflects each pressure point of stomach, small intenstine and large bowel. With pressing these pressure points by walking, the insole enhances blood flow in lower half of body and abdomen for better health.

● YUSEN（湧泉 ゆうせん）: A pressure point the center of underside of foot. If we press yusen we can reduce fatigue caused by long time standing job, long time walking job by arranging blood flow and comforting nerve in foot. Other pressure points are designed to give proper stimulation to enhancing activity in the digestive system such as stomach, small intenstine and large bowel in our body. It is especially good for the customer who suffers from constipation.

5) Hand stitch
Our shoes are stitched up with hand by our shoe artisan. Handstitched shoes fit shape of foot properly as you wear and walk, it becomes a part of your foot finally. Most of our shoes is made of the method that stitches genuine leather directly to the bottom of shoe not hanging genuine leather in the middle part. Although it takes time when compared to machine made shoes, it makes shoes more durable, better looking and it can release pressure from foot. Therefore our shoes brings you more comfortable feeling like “shoe chases the motion of your foot”, it is totally different from machine made shoes. And, you can easily replace insole, so you can enjoy our shoes longer than other normal shoes. Our mission is “get healthier with walking”, therefore we put importance on this production method as well as its good appearance.

5. Good design
Shoes are important factor in our first impression when people see us. Although health promotion is the main purpose of our shoes, we don’t compromise in the design. All the functions are integrated in simple good design. Our shoes work for you when you need to reduce fatigue in long time standing job, when you need to release physical stress in long time walking, when you need to relax in job interview.

6. Comfortable weight (hard center core that supports body weight)
Comfortable shoes should mean “less fatigue in more walking time”. Have you ever thought why trekking shoes are hard and heavy? Because it is not our foot but shoe that walks. Good shoe is like a pendulum that reduces energy to walk. Good shoe has the core of weight to balance and support weight. Therefore when you hold our shoes you may feel it is a little bit heavy, but once you wear it and walk, you don’t feel it is heavy. Because proper weight of our shoe reduces energy to walk by pulling our foot ahead without depending on foot. Except old generation people who lost muscle, actually a little bit heavy shoes are better for walking.

5. Testimony to prove superiority of HPS shoes, by Dr. Kazuo Sasaki (Suzuka Medical University, Dept of acupuncture and moxibustion)
The core concept of HPS shoes is being healthy. Foot is called "the second heart". So we wanted to add a new value in shoes, we developed Japanese finger pressure therapy utilized insole.
Why do we get constipation? The main reason is weaker activity of our bowel. In modern society we are tend to eat softer foods came from western world. It reduces activity of intestine and bowel. Years ago, we used to eat more hard fibers and hard foods therefore our intestine and bowel worked hard to digest. This is a reason why we didn't suffer from constipation in the past.
HPS insole has special shape to stimulate intestine, bowel and stomach to make our organs work more, especially digestive system to reduce troubles come from constipation.
