Hender Scheme is one of favourite brands from Japan because of their high level of craftsmanship and eye for footwear design. This is exemplified in their “Samidare” shoe, which is a hybrid oxford shoe and boot, therefore allowing you to wear them all-year round.
The oxford part of shoe is chunky and the rugged outsole readies it for the inclement weather. When the weather turns ugly, there is a durable pig leather that attaches to the ridge, which envelops the upper and turns the shoe into a boot. The covering features drawcord adjustment that provides moderate protection from the elements. Despite this rugged aesthetic, the shoe still looks extremely clean and would look great dressed up or down.
