Store bought shoes rarely fit perfectly, and bespoke options are too expensive for many.Furoshiki shoes, created by Japanese designer Masaya Hashimoto, have no laces and instead wrap around the foot–hence the name–fastening with velcro. Light, sophisticated and colorful, the new Furoshiki —the wrapping sole by Vibram — is comfortable to carry around and adapts easily to any surface thanks to the innovative design of the sole, which guarantees comfort and durability.
The Furoshiki Shoes however really look like the most comfortable shoes on the market. They wrap around your feet like bandages, conforming to your foot’s shape rather than forcing them to conform to the shoe. Each feature elastic velcro straps that you simply pull around and tie down. They cost around $140, and come in several different colors.
Furoshiki is the tradition of wrapping, holding, and carrying things in decorative pieces of cloth. Vibram Furoshiki, on the other hand, is their newest wrap-around shoe. Or, as they like to call it, the first wrap-around sole, since, technically, it’s a sole with wraps attached. They’re secured in place with Velcro patches, so putting the Furoshiki can hardly be any easier. They look comfy, too.
