◇Alshu arche SADOKA Loafer (RUWA/MOUTON MIAMI)◇

A sleek and slender silhouette makes for an elegant square-toe loafer.
The sheepskin applied to the upper serves as an accent, creating a fresh and unique design.

The upper is made of full-grain leather with a water-repellent finish and very soft European high-quality sheepskin.
The soft leather gently wraps around the foot, conforming comfortably and providing an exceptional sense of stability.
The 100% natural rubber Lactae Hevea sole excels in elasticity and flexibility, and the overlapping bubbles created by its unique porous microstructure serve as cushioning, making it less tiring to walk for long periods.

These slip-on shoes are easy to put on and take off, and they are versatile enough to be worn daily, whether with skirts or pants, for both casual and formal occasions.

◇About Leather: Arshu uses high-quality, reliable European leather that is LWG certified.
RUWA is a very supple leather that has been lightly buffed on the surface of aniline-finished full-grain leather and treated with a water-repellent finish.
Unlike pigment finishes, no processing is done to hide scratches on the leather surface, so only extremely high-quality leather without defects is used.
MOUTON MIAMI is a sheepskin that has been finished with sanding to achieve a velvet-like texture.
Surprisingly light and soft, you can feel the warmth and comfort.

◇About the Outsole: While many companies use synthetic materials, Alshu continues to use soles made from natural rubber.
The Lactae Hevea sole made from 100% natural rubber is a very valuable sole crafted one by one by skilled artisans at a partner company with the EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label in France.
Natural rubber contains countless natural air bubbles, which create a natural air cushion, resulting in unparalleled elasticity and flexibility.
It is also a sustainable material that has a low impact on the Earth's environment.

◇About the Design: Alshu designs everything in-house, from the upper to the outsole.
The rounded, supple, and flowing refined lines, with a design that is modern yet timeless, are fundamentally based on a chic casual style that seamlessly blends into everyday life, strongly influenced by the French "Art de Vivre" (the art of living).

◇Initiatives on Sustainability: At the heart of Arshu's design is sustainability.
By choosing durable, resilient, and repairable materials, we are committed to eco-design and strive to extend the lifespan of our products.
The leather and soles produced in Europe are of high quality and comply with the EU regulation REACH, which regulates chemicals for the protection of human health and the environment.

The design, which reflects the French "art de vivre" (the art of living) created by the combination of sustainable organic materials such as natural rubber and leather with traditional French craftsmanship, is a one-of-a-kind work.

[To wear Arshu shoes more comfortably]
• Arshu shoes use leather dyed with the traditional dyeing technique known as aniline dyeing.
On the one hand, it has a supple and delicate flavor, but on the other hand, "color fading" may occur due to friction, sweating, water exposure, etc.

・The sole of Lactae Hevea may show a faint white veil due to changes in temperature.
You can gently wipe with a cloth or sponge soaked in water with a little lemon (or vinegar) added.
This is also proof that it is made from genuine natural materials.
