MoonStar
In 1873, a founder focused on traditional Japanese tabi socks and established the forerunner of 'Moonstar' called 'Tsuchiya tabi'. The third generation president, inspired by American canvas shoes, began research. Two years later, he successfully created a prototype by combining fabric and rubber soles. Over time, these evolved into athletic shoes and rubber boots, and finally into sports shoes in the 1950s.
Since the 1980s, production has shifted to overseas factories, while domestic factories have declined. However, since in 2013, Moonstar has launched the "FINE VULCANIZED" series, which draws on the skilled craftsmanship of domestic factories, with a special focus on the "vulcanized method."
Kurume City, a thriving center of the rubber industry has been making shoes for over 140 years. Moonstar's factory, which carries out nearly all of its processes on its own premises, has become integrated into the community, resembling a town that provides livelihoods and jobs for many people.
・Please avoid crushing or stepping on the heel area as this may cause deformation, damage or shoe blisters.
・Avoid use in areas with solvents such as oil or thinner.
・Do not dry in direct sunlight or high temperatures such as stoves or hair dryers.
・Please do not store in wet conditions, in a bent position, or in hot and humid places. This can cause the sole to peel off, deteriorate, and deform.
・White powder may appear on the rubber surface (bloom phenomenon). Use the water-based rubber wax with a soft cloth to wipe it off.
・If you feel any abnormality in your feet, discontinue use immediately. (*Sweating or individual constitution may cause itching or irritation.)
・If the pattern on the bottom of the sole fades in certain areas, the anti-slip effect is reduced and the sole becomes slippery. We recommend replacing the shoe with a new pair.
