shoes like pottery

shoes like pottery owe their unusual name to a special and rare manufacturing process, called "ka-ryu" in japan. just like pottery, every pair of sneakers is oven baked or vulcanized, which makes the soles incredibly flexible and durable. the wax stamp on the side is especially beautiful, which shows the "uchide no kozuchi", a magic hammer, which is said to fulfill all wishes of the owner after swinging it. so swing the hammer.
