RAKU means comfortable and joy in Japanese.
We think shoes are a kind of tool to enrich one's life.
We try to make robust and walkable shoes that excite the heart.
Our shoes are made with high quality vegetable tanned leather and natural material.
Production of each shoe is done with great respect to its material and the earth.
It makes us happy if RAKU's creations become part of your comfortable life and bring a little bit of joy.
RAKUについて。
私たちは靴は、生活を豊かにするための道具と考えます。
歩きやすい事、堅牢である事、そして履くとわくわくするような靴作りを心がけています。
上質な植物タンニンの皮、天然素材を使うことで地球への敬意を込めて。
一つ一つの行程を心を込めて作っています。
快適な生活の一部となり、少しの楽しみを感じていただけたら幸せです。
I am Miki Nagamine, the founder of RAKU.
From 1998 I started to learn to make leather shoes at Moge Workshop in Tokyo.
For several years I had made shoes for order, taught at a mocassin school, and worked as an advisor of products for 45rpm.
After I decided to move to Mexico to realize my style of shoes.
The following history is of my own but not alone, there was always someone helping me.
Until now RAKU has grown.
We will go slow but steadily. Thank you.

RAKU's shoes are width EE. The wood pattern should be a bit longer than the actual foot length.
The chart below indicates the foot length, foot width, and length of the wood pattern.
Please refer to our measuring method when selecting your shoes.
If your foot width is smaller than the shoe, look at the length of the wood pattern. When the length of the wood pattern is minimum 5mm larger than your actual foot length, it is possible to choose a size smaller.
If your foot width is larger than the shoe, it is possible to either choose a size larger that fits your foot width or we could adjust the size.
(Depending on the model, it is alright to choose a size larger from 5mm to 1cm. Please ask us.)
RAKUの靴は足囲EEです。実際の足長よりも木型は、遊びと呼ばれる部分があるので少し長めです。
下記の表は、モデルごとに、足長と、足囲、木型の長さを見ていただくものです。
靴をお選びいただく際,計測方法を参考に計測していただき、
例えば、足囲が靴よりも細い場合は、木型の長さを見ていただいて最低5mmの余裕を見てワンサイズ小さめのサイズを選んでいただく事も可能です。
(それでも合うサイズがない場合は現在サイズ調整できかねます)
足囲が大きい場合は、足囲の合う大きめのサイズを選んでいただくか
(モデルによって、5mmから1cm大きいサイズを選んでも問題有りません。相談してください)、もしくは、時間は10日ほどかかりますが、サイズ調整をこちらでさせていただきます。
