MOHINDERS leather sandals. Purchased as deadstock from the vintage clothing store tredici in Machida for just under 20,000 yen. The deep, dark brown color, the crepe sole which is unusual for sandals, and the high-quality woven details are all superb. The sandals are handmade one by one in India, which is their most distinctive feature. They're sure to be useful year-round, not just in the summer, depending on the socks you wear. I was very satisfied with them, but I'm selling them because I haven't had a chance to wear them. They've only been worn once from new (the soles were slightly darkened from the time of purchase). They should fit someone who wears 27.5-28.5 sneakers (I wear 27.5cm sneakers, and they fit perfectly with thick socks). Here's a description of the brand: A leather sandal brand founded by American designer Michael Paratore. Michael, who was a lawyer, was captivated by a leather sandal he encountered during a trip to India. He found a family of producers and started the brand, wanting to make these leather sandals himself. The leather is buffalo hide tanned using plant resins and fruits, which softens with wear and develops a beautiful amber color. Most of the processes are done by hand, resulting in a unique and tasteful finish for each piece. These leather sandals are handmade one by one. They are manufactured using a method called "Cavani," which traditionally originated in India, where the upper and midsole are woven together. They are handmade by skilled artisans in India for authentic specifications. They also use locally sourced buffalo leather. They employ an environmentally friendly manufacturing process using vegetable tanning that does not use any troublesome chemicals. It seems they are also conscious of current environmental issues and sustainability. Their appearance evokes the hippie culture of the 70s. Perhaps this is the atmosphere that flows at the base of the brand from San Francisco. The soles are made of highly cushioned crepe. Since it is rubber, it is the softest and reduces foot fatigue from long hours of use.
