UNIQLO will begin selling shoes in its Westfield White City store in June. UNIQLO shoes offer exceptional cushioning, grip and other functionalities, with particular attention given to a comfortable fit. The slip-on style comes in five color variations, for a wide range of situations, from casual to fashionable. The shoes are unisex in design, and are priced at £24.90.
UNIQLO has been expanding its lineup of accessories, including hats, belts, scarves and bags. The addition of shoes allows customers to fully coordinate their outfit according to individual style and preference. The new shoe product line is consistent with UNIQLO’s LifeWear concept, offering clothing that is functional, comfortable and reasonably priced.
Excellent cushioning to absorb shock
The shoes offer a polyurethane cup insole that forms to the foot and consistently provides exceptional cushioning. The material is used in athletic shoes and similar footwear, dampening the shock when walking.
Good grip for a steady stride
The outsole has narrow slits that enhance the flexibility of the bottom when walking. Raised portions parallel to these slits grip the surface, providing traction for steady walking.
Durability
The upper portion is made of heavy-duty cotton canvas, with stitching in the midsole to prevent separation of the outsole and upper.
Fit
A sponge material around the opening improves the feel around the foot. The shoe tongue and upper are connected with an elastic band to improve the fitting between the shoes and foot.
