Every summer, my eyes turn to sandals.
Many of you might be firmly in the "sandals only for my feet!" camp.
This year, our brand also released new sandals, "Urvec."
They're a pair that boasts lightweight leather and the ease of slipping them on and off.
But even with the release of Urvec,
there's a pair of shoes that our staff wear "a lot in the summer."
That would be these perforated leather shoes.

▶ Not as casual as sandals, but still cool.
That's why I keep reaching for them.
On days when sandals might be a bit too casual.
On days when I want to wear more formal clothes.
At times like that, these perforated shoes are my go-to choice.
Their breathability is better than they look.
At first glance, they appear to be ordinary leather shoes, but when you walk, you can feel a "puff" of air.
Additionally, the inner leather is soft, and the fit is very gentle on the feet,
making them comfortable to wear even barefoot.
Whether at the office, out and about, or traveling.
They're versatile and suitable for any occasion,
so last summer and this summer, I've found myself wearing them almost every day.

▶ Changing the shoelaces added more excitement.
This year, I've been enjoying changing the shoelaces on my perforated shoes.
For the white ones, I intentionally chose red shoelaces.
This combination feels a bit retro, yet also has a French chic vibe.
Especially when wearing simple clothes, the "red" on my feet makes a statement,
and I feel a mood boost, thinking "Today feels good."

And this year, for the new black shoes I welcomed, I paired them with white shoelaces.
The contrast creates a classic mood.
They also go well with light-colored bottoms in summer, maintaining a smart look,
and I particularly like how they appear light. It's不思議 how just changing the color combination can make your usual clothes and the same shoes feel fresh.

▶ The smartness of leather and the comfort of summer in one shoe.
Perforated shoes offer both the smartness of leather shoes and the coolness of sandals.
The reason you'll naturally choose them day after day is something you'll definitely experience once you wear them.
A truly beloved item among the Swaan staff.
Why not welcome them to your summer footwear collection?
