Combining Waterproofing and Breathability

When considering which pair of shoes to choose, the weather often crosses our minds. If there’s a shoe that can be worn without worry even when rain is in the air, it simplifies the morning decision-making process. The MOISTHROUGH360 VENTRIS is that shoe.

VENTRIS is the first model from the MOISTHROUGH360 brand. It embodies the concept of "INEVITABILITY = DESIGN," serving as the foundational product that reflects this principle. What is necessary and what is not? The essence of this sneaker lies in the idea that what remains after stripping away the excess takes shape. The confidence of being able to go out on both rainy and sunny days with the same pair stems from this simple design philosophy.

Waterproof and Breathable: Patented Ventilation Waterproof System

Confronting the long-standing issue of shoes becoming damp when using waterproof films, the unique ventilation waterproof system of MOISTHROUGH360 was born. This patented mechanism allows air and water vapor to escape from both the upper and the sole.

The upper does not use a waterproof film but instead employs a special material with ventilation waterproof capabilities. This ensures that even after wearing them for long periods, the humidity inside the shoe remains almost equal to that of the outside air, maintaining a comfortable state free from dampness. Each sewing thread is treated with waterproofing by hand, ensuring high waterproof performance. While not completely waterproof, it has proven durability against sudden rain and puddles, making it less prone to water ingress.

Additionally, the "360° VENTILATION" structure features ventilation holes in the sole, effectively expelling air and water vapor in conjunction with walking through a pumping function. Air circulates all the way to the soles of your feet. The insoles are made from a mesh material developed to maximize this ventilation performance, featuring punching on the underside and cushioning for arch support.

Comfort and Consideration for Your Feet

The midsole adopts a unique structure that combines three types of materials with varying hardness. A soft cushion absorbs shocks during walking, while a semi-hard cushion supports the heel in a cup-like shape, reducing wobbling during movement. The hard cushion placed at the center acts as the core material of the sole, generating rebound and contributing to a light walking sensation. The upper layer uses EVA material with a 10% recycling rate, reflecting the brand's commitment to reusing materials for long-lasting use.

Moreover, the outsole is made from highly durable rubber material across the entire contact surface. By adopting a flat boat-shaped structure for the entire sole, walking stability is enhanced, and grooves from the heel to the toe concentrate body weight at the center, minimizing wobbling. The sole structure is resistant to wear even after prolonged use. With its thickness, it also naturally enhances your style.

The last (shoe mold) is an original design created by a renowned last maker. It is crafted to fit the Japanese foot, balancing ease of entry with a refined silhouette.

Over 70 Years of Craftsmanship Behind It

MOISTHROUGH360 is a shoe brand created by Hiroshima Kasei Co., Ltd., founded in 1948. Starting with the production of sandals and cloth shoes, the brand has a foundation built on nearly 70 years of experience in shoe manufacturing. The techniques and knowledge accumulated over a long period came together with the attitude of "questioning the obvious," leading to the birth of MOISTHROUGH360. Rather than seeking novelty, it returns to the essence of the problem. The phrase "inevitability = design" is backed by the brand's history of craftsmanship. By eliminating the unnecessary and incorporating only what is truly needed into a single pair, this earnest approach is a product of years of manufacturing experience. The shoes of MOISTHROUGH360 exist to be quietly used in daily life, born from a pursuit of functionality that naturally takes shape.
