[Vulcanized manufacturing process]
"Asahi" brand deck shoes use a traditional manufacturing method called vulcanization.
The key features of this method are that, although it's more labor-intensive, it increases the strength and elasticity of the rubber sole, resulting in superior durability. Another attractive aspect of this manufacturing method is that it resists deformation and maintains a beautiful silhouette.
Currently, only a few companies in Japan, including Asahi, are capable of implementing this manufacturing method. These shoes are produced meticulously, one pair at a time, using this rare technology.
