Tools filled with a wish to make walking around the city pleasurable for the hard path walking modern people, this is Regetta Canoe.

Original Sole

A single shape was born as a result
of being focused towards 'walking'.

Canoe's shape, which draws a bold line was not made with design as the priority. An unique shaped outsole developed to answer the question, "How can we walk comfortably on the hard asphalt roads?" and a gummy insole which gently wraps around your foot.

Machiaruki

Special tools for enjoying "walking the streets"

Form which is easy to wear and also makes you feel the playfulness in the design. For a "walking the streets" style, a balance of appearance and functionality is very important. Shoes with appearance as the priority results into crooked walking posture and bent body. It is said that opening of pelvis or worsening of body posture happens due to bad walking posture. Regetta Canoe's round outsole was created in a pursuit of ease of walking to the last detail. Just by wearing Canoe, the ideal walking style of stepping off from the toes and landing on heels is achieved!

Coordinate

The unique form looks individualistic
in any clothing coordination.

For shopping…...for going out……an unique form that doesn’t chose the person wearing it is Canoe's one more speciality. Even a simple, standard casual wear feels like a unique style! Is a great match with all your bottom wears! The impactful form will be the deciding factor in coordinating your attire. Bare feet in spring and summers and showing the socks a little in autumn and winter. You can enjoy the styling aimed for "walking the streets" irrespective of seasons.

Regetta Canoe was born in a small town called Ikuno ward in Osaka and since then continued to make products under the slogan "Made in Japan" and "Made in Osaka". In 2015, our vision and skills were recognized and our "Bigfoot three strap design " officially received the "Made in Osaka" brand certification from Osaka prefecture. We will continue to deliver Made in Osaka Regetta Canoe to Japan and the World for a pleasurable "walking the streets"

"Osaka", City of Water, City of Commerce

Dotonbori, Nagahori, Tosabori, Shinsaibashi, Nihonbashi, Yodoyabashi… Famous places which are connected by rivers stretching all over Osaka, city of water.
Canals, also called the speciality of Osaka's culture, which stretched in all the directions eventually turned into asphalt roads and transformed into streets which spread across the foundation.
We want you to take a light and soft step into the city, similar to a "Ferry(Canoe)" which rows across the river. With this emotion, we shaped the sole similar to a boat.
And for the first concept store, we chose "Semba" as the location, which has supported the prosperity of Osaka's commerce since ancient times.

BALANCE

Great Body Posture

Our soft gel insole cocoons the foot and makes your feet's pressure feel balanced all day long.

Because you step with your entire foot as opposed to parts of it, you'll notice your improved posture immediately.

And from this new posture you'll notice that you're utilizing the correct muscles in your legs, enabling you to walk comfortably for prolonged periods of time.

WALKING

A better, ideal way of walking

Because of the round shape of the outer sole, the foot will land with the heel first,

Allowing for more weight to be distributed throughout the body implementing the “rolling walk”.

The unique canoe shape will change your poor posture into a more ideal one in the blink of an eye.

Rolling Walking

① Landing on a large surface area without heel shake.
② Smooth weight transfer.
③ Using the principle of the teco, you can move forward smoothly with only a little force applied to the toes.

FOOT CARE

Resistance to calluses on the feet

Less irritation of the cuticles Cuticles, when rubbed, can become hard
and can lead to a multitude of problems---chafing, corns, bunions, etc.

Our gel insole fits the foot perfectly and prevents irritation that causes these problems, leading to a more healthy, beautiful foot!

SHOCK

More shock absorption

Our outer sole is voluminous and not too soft and not too hard. Our super soft footbed cradles your feet.

The distinct round shape of the sole relieves most of the shock in your feet and knees when landing.

A comfortable spring readies you to walk or stand for prolonged periods of time without unwanted fatigue.

FOOT BED

Stimulating your foot arch

Our gel sole's unique shape fits the parts of your arch that seldom receives stimulation, distributing strength throughout your entire foot.

This lessens the stress and symptoms of fatigue in your entire body by sending an even amount of pressure throughout the foot.

WARM CARE
