JUTTA NEUMANN -Island Edition- Aging Blog: Dark Sole Edition

Hello. This is Nukui from andPheb.

JUTTA NEUMANN is essential for summer at andPheb.

Today, I will write about the aging process of the 'Island Edition' ARUBA, which I purchased last year and has steadily grown with me.

Before I knew it, this has become my 4th pair of JUTTA NEUMANN that I have cherished for many years. Rather than the pain of breaking them in, I am hooked on the supreme comfort that makes them feel like a part of my own feet after wearing them for so long.

Even so, I am still fascinated by the sense of security they provide, perfectly complementing both slacks and denim for summer fashion.

The Island Edition, which andPheb introduced to Japan for the first time last year. My impression is that it is simply light. And it has the same presence as the signature models. The leather is the same, and the sole is Vibram.

I chose ARUBA because it was a design I didn't have. The combination of the crossed thong and the instep leather. It has a classic design that looks like something the French military or Picasso would wear. For someone like me who often wears military pants and denim, it is the perfect rugged choice.

First, let's look at the thong part.

The thumb area, which was initially tight, surprisingly broke in within a day. No pain, no injuries. Now, it has formed to the height and width of my toes.

Next is the instep part. Thanks to this leather, the fit is improved, making it easy to move. Since my instep and width are narrow, I thought there wouldn't be much change, but it has definitely taken the shape of my instep.

The footbed leather. The one on the left is my personal pair. It started as a brownish dark sole, but compared to the new one on the right, the BLACK has become much deeper. The deep luster is incredibly cool...

The sole part. My favorite Vibram sole. As expected. The sole hasn't worn down at all. Choosing the just-right size might be one of the reasons.

I usually wear 27.5-28cm in sneakers, and for leather shoes, I am a so-called golden size of around 7H or 42, but I wear JUTTA NEUMANN in size 8. At first, my heel sticks out, but as it breaks in, my foot moves forward, so I wear it in a just-right size without any excess.

Top left is new, bottom right is my personal pair. Japan's summer has become longer. I wore these the most last year, and there is still more to come. Since there is this much change in just one year, I plan to wear them a lot again this year.
