Although all the winter clothes are out, it feels a little too early to start buying spring clothes, and it's easy to get lost in the beginning of February when it comes to shopping.

What we recommend for such occasions is a cap and shoes.

It can be used in any season and is a great item that can easily lift your spirits by using it as an accent.
We tend to put it off, but if we take another look at it carefully, we may discover something new.

So, we will be bringing you CAPs and SHOES selected by HIGH! STANDARD over the next two weeks. Following on from last week's CAPs, this week we will be picking out shoes from three brands.

From sneakers that you can wear roughly to suede Material with a sophisticated feel, please take a look.

Clarks is a world-renowned British shoe manufacturer with origins as a slipper manufacturer founded in 1825.

Ahead of many shoe manufacturers, they developed many things that are now commonplace, such as the sewing machine for joining uppers and soles.

Among them, the desert boots, which were born in 1950, are said to be the origin of casual shoes.

At a time when the only options were dress shoes or work shoes, these desert boots were created as a middle ground. When they were first released, people laughed at them, saying, "There's no way something so unusual will sell."

We offer a rich lineup selected by HIGH! STANDARD, including desert boots, the classic Wallabee, and the hidden masterpiece Wallabee loafer.

Some models are equipped with "GORE-TEX" which is not only waterproof but also has breathability to let out moisture.

Its timeless look and ease of pairing with any pants is truly the origin and pinnacle of style.

Made USA, the brand has released many famous models, including the 990, which debuted in 1982 with the shocking catchphrase "990 points out of 1000 points". There are many models you can't miss, such as the latest 990 V6 and the reissued V4. If your size fits, we recommend that you secure it now.

Although it tends to be overshadowed by the US model, this UK model is highly popular due to its British-style slightly slim form and elegant appearance. We recommend the M1500, which has a combination upper Material of high-quality pigskin suede and mesh.

Based on the "MR2002" released in 2010, the "2002R" was re-released in 2020.

The main feature of this shoe is the hybrid sole, which combines NERGY, which is used in running shoes, and ABZORB, which is a familiar material from NB.

The combination of soles converts the impact of landing into the next rebound, providing an outstanding fit that reduces fatigue.

Another big change is that the country of production has shifted to Asia, making the prices more affordable. Not only the regular line, but even the GORE-TEX models are now available at an astonishing 20,000 yen.

It's easy to get a little numb to seeing it so often, but GORE-TEX is the ultimate waterproof and breathable Material. Not only does it keep out rain, it also doesn't get too sweaty, which is what makes it stand out from other waterproof shoes.

With so many models to choose from, it can be hard to know which one to choose, but the 2002 series is perfect for those people.

Swedish shoe brand "Last Resort AB"

While having a firm roots in skate culture, the brand's greatest appeal is its designs, which are also easily suited to everyday use in the city.

First up is the classic VM-001, which is a sure choice, followed by the VM-001 HI, a high-cut model of the VM-001, and the VM006, a moccasin shoe.

Choose the model that suits you best.
