OPTION
WATER-REPELLENT COATING
Water-Repellent Coating
Our Water-Repellent Coating is an optional service that can be added when purchasing your footwear.
This treatment applies a protective water-repellent coating to your shoes to help resist moisture. The service is available for ¥4,400 per pair (tax and shipping included).
As each pair is individually treated by hand after your order is placed, please allow an additional 3 weeks beyond our standard delivery time.
Please note that orders with this optional treatment cannot be canceled, returned, or exchanged after the treatment has been purchased.
About processing
This treatment is based on a traditional water-repellent technique originally developed for kimono in Kyoto, Japan, with a history of nearly 100 years. Each pair is carefully treated by skilled artisans in Kyoto.
Unlike typical aftercare water-repellent sprays, this process uses specialized techniques and equipment to allow the treatment to penetrate deep into each individual fiber, resulting in a higher level of water repellency. This process does not compromise breathability.
By repelling both water and oil, it helps protect your sneakers from rain penetration and mud splashes.
Notes
The water-repellent and stain-resistant effects are not permanent.
Under normal use, the treatment typically lasts for approximately one year, though its effectiveness will gradually diminish over time.
As this treatment repels water and oil, it may not be effective against solid or powdery dirt such as mud or dust.
If this option is selected, cancellations and returns or exchanges (including size changes) cannot be accepted. Thank you for your understanding.
Please note that slight changes in gloss or texture may occur as a result of the treatment.
