At Khish the Work, we consider each pair of shoes to be a "work of art", and we are meticulous about finishing each pair of shoes.
We value not only the beauty of the work itself, but also the beauty of the form created by following the shape of the foot.
We also imagine the memories and tastes that will deepen over time as we spend time with the shoes, as we carefully create each piece.
I became a shoemaker because I love leather shoes so much. Even after becoming a shoemaker, I still enjoy leather shoes as one of shoe lovers.
There is no end to the enjoyment of wearing, looking at, polishing, and making leather shoes. I wouldn’t be happier if I could share these joys with you.
Khish has three lines with different concepts: Made to Order / Numbers collection / Bespoke.
MTO is an abbreviation for Made to Order, and is a made-to-order product that is manufactured by customizing the size, material, and detail specifications according to the customer's order.
MTO has developed a shoe last that is easy to walk in and fits most people, although it does not fit each individual foot.
Orders can be placed through our online store or at exhibitions and order shows.
$1,400(tax included)〜
Construction : Hand welted and Machine stitched sole
This is a collection of shoes that I have carefully created and realized. Please find your favorite shoes.
All items are one-of-a-kind and numbered. After being displayed at exhibitions, they will be sold as ready-made items.
Prices vary for each shoe.
These are fully custom-made shoes that are made from a last based on the measurements of the customer's feet to suit each individual customer.
As the name of "Bespoke" suggests, we speak each other everything from fitting to design to create the perfect pair.
450,000 yen- (495,000 yen- including tax)
