The U-Tip Shoe GTX from Regal Shoe & Co. reinterprets a classic dress shoe silhouette in a modern and technical version. Inspired by traditional American derby shoes with a U-shaped toe, it stands out with its characteristic stitched toe design, offering a perfect balance between elegance and ruggedness.
The upper is crafted from smooth black kip leather, a Japanese leather known for its softness and refined texture. Sourced from the Sanyo tannery in Himeji, it provides an excellent balance between immediate comfort and durability, while maintaining a clean and versatile appearance. The Goodyear welt construction ensures long-lasting durability and allows for resoling, significantly extending the lifespan of the shoe.
This model features a GORE-TEX membrane, ensuring both waterproofness and breathability. This technology keeps feet dry while allowing internal moisture to escape, making the shoe suitable for everyday wear in all weather conditions.
The Vibram Newflex outsole provides lightness, flexibility, and shock absorption, offering significantly improved comfort compared to traditional leather soles. It is complemented by an Ortholite cushioned insole, enhancing overall comfort and breathability for extended wear.
Built on a slightly rounded and balanced last, this U-Tip shoe integrates easily into both casual and more formal wardrobes. Made in Japan, it perfectly embodies the blend of classic footwear heritage, technical innovation, and the high manufacturing standards of Regal Shoe & Co..
Size advice: At Regal Shoes & Co., sizing does not correspond to your usual sneaker size. As is often the case with Japanese brands, sizes are expressed in centimeters. For an optimal fit, we generally recommend choosing a size approximately 1.5 to 2 cm smaller than your sneaker size.
Please note that due to artisanal construction, these measurements are indicative and may slightly vary from one model to another.
Practical examples:
Sneakers 27.5 cm → Regal Shoes 26.0 cm
Sneakers 26.5 cm → Regal Shoes 25.0 cm
Our recommendations:
- If you are between two Regal sizes, choose the larger one for optimal comfort.
- Regal shoes will gradually adapt to your feet thanks to the quality of the leather.
- Measure your feet at the end of the day to account for natural swelling.
