Merry Gen Shoes "TIGE"

The name "Merry Jane Shoes" comes from the strap shoes worn by Mary Jane, the younger sister of the main character in the American comic "Buster Brown." The shoes were a huge hit and have become a standard design that is now known by the name "Merry Jane."

"TIGE" is named after TIGE, a talking dog that appears in the same cartoon. The Merry Gen shoes, which have been loved throughout their long history, have been given a special story to add to them. TIGE is a pair of shoes that will remain appealing for all time.

While highlighting the cool charm unique to La Poche,
A slightly rounded square toe wooden last is used,
We have taken advantage of the elegance that is unique to Merry Gen shoes.
The straps that firmly support the instep of the foot provide stability and a comfortable fit.
The straps are designed with hooks for easy on and off.
We also took practicality into consideration.
Another key point is that the shoes are designed to be slightly wide so that they can be easily worn with socks.

The upper is made from La Poche's standard high-quality calf leather.
The more you wear them, the more beautiful wrinkles and luster will appear, and you can enjoy the luxurious changes that occur over time.
This is one of the charms of these shoes, as each pair has its own unique character and can be enjoyed for a long time.
The soles are designed to be replaceable, allowing you to wear them for a long time with proper care.
From the moment you pick them up, they will become a special pair that you can cherish for a long time.

TIGE has a design that gives off a nostalgic and warm feeling.
Each pair of shoes is carefully crafted by a craftsman, and the texture deepens with use, adding color to your everyday life.

Tencho has not had any experience with feminine shoes for many years, but I would like to try these! However, the sizing is slightly larger so that socks can be worn, and size 5 is a bit large for Tencho, who is 22.5 cm tall, so I am aiming for the 4.5 that will be available next time.

*In Tencho's case, the Kate (Lizard) from the same LA POCHE brand is a size 5, but it was so tight that I almost cried at first because it was just the right size. Matilda and Anne are just the right size in size 5. Please use this as a reference when choosing your size.

*The next shipment is scheduled for July 2025. Please note that the price will be 47,300 yen (tax included). A new color, silver, is also scheduled to arrive.

Here's how it looks when worn. Of course, it also goes well with denim.

Please try it.
