Hard type bird watching boots now available!

Conventional bird watching boots have thin rubber and are soft, making them uncomfortable for use in hard work.These hard type bird watching boots were created in response to such feedback.
The rubber is thicker (approximately 1.6 times) than regular bird watching boots, making it safe for mowing rocky areas, reed beds, and bamboo thickets.

[Tips for choosing size]
・Since the ankle part is made to fit well when walking in mud, it may be a little tight to put on and take off.
If you choose the perfect size, it may feel tight depending on your body shape and the thickness of your socks.

-Sizes listed are ""foot size"" (the size of the mold used to make shoes).
On the other hand, the ``foot size'' is the size that fits the wearer's foot size, including the extra space (disposable size) for the toes, etc.
We recommend bird watching boots that are about 1 cm larger than the shoe size you normally wear.
*Hard types have thicker rubber, so they may feel a little tighter than regular bird watching boots.

[Precautions regarding use]
●Depending on the ground conditions, there is a risk of slipping. Please be especially careful when walking on wet roads in the rain, as there is a risk of falling.
●When walking on hard asphalt, we recommend wearing insoles or thick socks to reduce fatigue.
●In order to prevent the rubber from deteriorating and allow you to use it for a long time, please clean it after use, dry it in the shade, and store it in a dark place.
There may be white powder attached to the rubber surface, but this does not affect the quality at all.
If you want to use it in a clean state, apply silicone oil to make it clean.
