Refined height-increasing shoes
Kitajima Seika Kogyosho, with its workshop in Yamatokoriyama, Nara, has been making genuine leather shoes since its founding in 1961. Since 1975, it has also focused on producing height-increasing shoes, drawing on its skills and experience to keep researching and developing shoes that won't tire you out even after hours of wear and that naturally enhance your silhouette. Kawagutsu Honpo mainly carries height-increasing shoes from Kitajima Seika Kogyosho, which is committed to 100% domestic production. Pouring years of expertise into every pair and continually refining them based on customer feedback, we will keep supporting your first step toward a confident future, from the ground up.


A Subtle 5〜7cm Lift to Your Silhouette
Commitment 1
As height-increasing shoes, they are finished with a natural look that never seems out of place, not only while you wear them but even after you take them off. The 5〜7cm of height you gain simply by putting them on gives your outfit a sleeker impression. With a wide lineup ranging from business shoes to casual shoes, you can freely choose to suit the day's outfit and your preferences. Blending naturally with any look, they help you stand tall with confidence.

Comfort with Every Step, Thanks to Our Original Insoles
Commitment 2
Drawing on more than half a century of know-how in height enhancement, we combine purpose-designed lasts, inner heels, and soles with insoles that offer just the right amount of cushioning. Contoured insoles that follow the shape of your soles distribute your body weight, reducing forward slipping and supporting comfortable walking. Depending on the height and product, we use a standard type, a cushioned type, or the Magic Insole for 7cm models, and we also offer products in a roomier width.

A Wide Range of Fine Leathers, Chosen for Life's Milestones
Commitment 3
Beyond everyday wear, our shoes are also chosen for life's milestones, such as school entrance ceremonies, company welcome ceremonies, and weddings. We offer a wide selection of fine genuine leathers, including easy-care glass-finish cowhide, supple kangaroo leather, soft cowhide nubuck, and light yet durable ostrich leather. With models featuring highly breathable soles as well, we bring out the appeal of each leather while delivering comfortable wear on your special day.
