◇About Leather: Arshu uses high-quality, reliable European leather that is LWG certified.
Nubuck is made with aniline-finished full-grain leather.
Unlike pigmented finishes, no processing is done to hide scratches on the leather surface, so only extremely high-quality leather without defects is used.

◇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, creating a natural air cushion that produces unparalleled elasticity and flexibility.
It is also a sustainable material that causes little damage to 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, modern yet timeless in design, are fundamentally based on a chic casual style that seamlessly integrates into everyday life, strongly influenced by the French "art de vivre" (the art of living).

is a French brand founded in 1968 with the aim of creating shoes that fuse style and well-being (living better healthily).
As brands that design in France and produce in Asia are on the rise, we continue to create authentic "Made in France" shoes crafted by French artisans.
The shoes, reflecting the design of France's "Art de Vivre" (the art of living), are unique creations born from the combination of sustainable organic materials such as natural rubber and leather, and traditional French craftsmanship.
A brand that allows you to regain the instinctive and fundamental sense of happiness, enjoying individuality that is different from others.
*Some products are made in our own workshop in Croatia.

[To wear Arshu's 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, or water exposure.
・The sole made of Lactae Hevea (natural rubber) may show a slight 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.
