JELLO SHOES look like suede leather shoes dropped into water. As the name suggests, the soles are covered in a moist, jelly-like resin coating, creating an accent.
The shoes are an expression of the designer Kubo's particular attention to material selection, combining suede leather and resin, a combination that seems unlikely to exist. With the coming season seeing a trend toward simpler clothing, these shoes are sure to be a focal point of any outfit.
This time, we interviewed a staff member who has been using JELLO SHOES for a month about how they feel to wear. 
-What is your usual shoe size?
27.5cm (with socks)
-What size JELLOSHOES do you wear?
27cm (with socks)
Today I'm wearing it with thin ribbed socks.
-What's your favorite color?
BLACK 
-What made you choose BLACK?
It's sheer and the black color looks gray, giving it a light feel.
The smooth, glossy resin gives the shoes a balanced feel that doesn't make your feet feel too heavy.
The basic color that goes with any outfit is also a deciding factor.
-How comfortable are they to wear?
Because there is a resin coating on top of the leather, I felt that the toes were a little stiff.
After purchasing them, they felt a little tight the first two or three times I wore them, but after that the leather began to conform to the shape of my feet, and I no longer felt the stiffness in the toes that I had initially noticed, and they were comfortable to wear.
The sole also has just the right amount of flexibility.
-How often do you wear it?
I've been using it for a month now, about 2-3 times a week.
-What made you decide to buy it?
I thought it would be easy to incorporate into an outfit because of its simple, sharp shape. 
-What's your favorite style?
I like military items so I often wear them together, but they also go well with denim so I often combine them.
-Any final words?
It can be worn with the unique feeling of growing leather.
The reaction from people around me is so positive that they often ask me, "Where are those shoes from?"
Recently, there have been a lot of sudden rain showers, making it difficult to wear leather shoes, but I've been wearing these shoes more often because the soles repel the rain even when I'm caught in a sudden downpour.
However, if it is definitely forecast to rain, please do so at your own risk!
