About Syunsoku

Identity

• 

  Asymmetrical soles

  Defying the conventional wisdom that the right and left soles of shoes should be designed symmetrically, Syunsoku arranges its spikes on the inner side of the right sole and on the outer side of the left sole, thus enabling wearers to grip the ground when cornering counterclockwise. Developers have created shoes that enable fast-running children to run faster and give hope to slow-running children under the slogan, “Open a lead when cornering!”

• 

  A wide variety of models

  In addition to its basic feature of providing good cornering through asymmetrical sole designs, Syunsoku offers a lineup of functional models that are suitable for various occasions. These models have specialized features with their soles shaped to serve various purposes such as playing soccer and dancing. Syunsoku models cater to a wide range of needs according to the lifestyles of children.

• 

  Designs that children yearn for

  The design of some models uses animals such as cheetahs, which run through the field, and others refer to the design of Pegasus’s wings. Thus, Syunsoku pursues unique designs so that children become so excited when they put their shoes on that they want to start running.

SO・KU・I・KU Concept

For child’s feet

“Sokuiku (foot growth)” design—the quality of Syunsoku shoes
supports healthy growth of children’s feet

Most foot ailments occur because people wear shoes that do not fit their feet. By emphasizing the effects foot growth has on the entire body and designing shoes based on its proprietary concept of “foot growth,” Syunsoku is working to develop shoes that do not easily cause foot ailments to children and that support healthy growth of their feet.

Based on the Japanese Industrial Standards, Syunsoku designs for each size wooden molds that correspond to the growth of children’s feet.
