KENFORD
Tokyo, Japan, 1986
Building a new set of values for leather shoes
An original brand launched in 1986 by REGAL Corporation, a Japanese shoemaker, to bring traditional leather shoes to more people. Its orthodox designs bear comparison with full-fledged leather shoes, yet are crafted with materials and methods chosen so that they feel neither stiff nor heavy, unlocking the possibilities of quality leather shoes for every occasion. In 2026, the brand's 40th anniversary, it opened "KENFORD Fine Shoes Tokyo" in Jingumae, Shibuya, a bold step for a Japanese-made leather shoe brand.
Redefining the dress shoe
Commitment 1
We dismantle the conventional notion of "stiff formal wear," long regarded as a matter of discipline and etiquette for ceremonies and business. To elevate it into the ultimate weapon for expressing individuality, we define a "new image of formal" that is one step ahead of the times.
Inspiration drawn from every kind of formal wear, and absolute freedom
Commitment 2
At the core of our craft is design and development that is utterly free, unbound by the framework of the classic dress shoe. Absorbing inspiration from every code of formal dress, we express the shape of a future "NEW FORMAL" with boundless freedom.
Toughness and lightness for everyday wear
Commitment 3
A light yet tough pair that blends into daily life as naturally as a pair of sneakers. Built on the trusted quality of strict quality control, we use a cemented construction that is lightweight and highly flexible. Comfortable from the very first day you wear them, these are free-spirited everyday shoes you can wear without a second thought, from the street to every scene of daily life.
