Guest Reviews

A total of 600,000 pairs sold! What is the reason why they continue to be chosen?

The reasons why the towel sandal slippers series has shipped more than 600,000 pairs include the high quality of the products, continuous improvements that reflect customer feedback, and the company's ability to flexibly respond to changes in lifestyles and values.

1. The secret to its longevity: More than 10 years of continuous improvement and quality control

Since its launch in 2011, Towel Sandals Slippers have evolved through repeated improvements based on customer feedback. They continue to be loved by many people as a product that combines "comfort," "durability," and "addictive comfort."

● Commitment to quality: The towel material has a moderate volume while maintaining water absorption and breathability, making it gentle on the skin. In addition, the design is designed to retain its shape even after long-term use, and careful sewing techniques support the reliability of the product. As a result, it has earned a high reputation for its practicality and comfort suitable for everyday use.

● Accumulation of improvements: Based on customer feedback, we have improved the design, materials, and comfort. We have worked with foot experts to develop the shoes, incorporating a three-dimensional structure to fit the shape of the foot, and have made every effort to improve the details. The current version was developed in collaboration with Professor Hideaki Akune, Emeritus Professor of J. F. Oberlin University, and is characterized by a design that pursues even greater comfort and stability. Through a scientific approach with the cooperation of such experts, we have created products that prioritize comfort and foot health.

[Professor Akune Hideaki/Professor Emeritus at J. F. Oberlin University] A foot specialist who has been researching "foot health science" for over 40 years, including the shape and role of the soles of the feet, and their relationship to athletic ability and health.

2. Rising awareness of wellness

In recent years, with the rise in wellness awareness, more and more consumers are placing importance on comfort and health at home, and the concept of "supporting health from the feet up by going barefoot" has garnered a lot of support. The COVID-19 outbreak has led to an increase in remote work and time spent at home, which has led to a rapid increase in interest in relaxation items. Towel sandal slippers are positioned as an item that meets these needs, and are chosen as a product that combines practicality and comfort.

3. Development that captures gift demand and seasonality

● Popular as a gift: It is often chosen as a gift that combines practicality and design on special occasions such as Father's Day, Mother's Day, and Respect for the Aged Day. The positive reactions, such as "It feels great! It was more appreciated than I expected," are also one of the reasons why it is supported by a wide range of generations.

●Comfort for hot and humid seasons: The breathable and stuffy-resistant properties are highly valued during the hot and humid summer months, while the comfortable fit in the bathroom or indoors in winter is appreciated.
