We make SPINGLE, original handmade sneakers with a focus on comfort. Inheriting a factory that has been in operation since before the war, we have continued to carry on the traditional vulcanized shoe manufacturing method. GLOBAL SHOES GALLERY, a directly managed store across from the factory, carries a wide selection of shoes and bags, mainly SPINGLE. There is a gallery and a cafe inside the building, so you can not only take your time choosing shoes, but also use it as a base for walking around Fuchu, or as a place to take a break during your trip.

rolled-up sole

SPINGLE's distinctive feature is its rolled-up sole silhouette.

This is a new limited edition design for spring/summer 2024. This model has a rolled-up sole design using cotton for the upper.

Please see the blue sole in the photo. The blue outsole is shaped to wrap around the entire shoe.

This rolled-up sole design was born in the early days of the SPINGLE brand and has now become a SPINGLE icon. Today, we still sometimes use rolled-up sole designs on various types of sneakers.

Among them, the SP-110, a rolled-up sole sneaker made of kangaroo leather, is a long-selling product that has not changed its design since its creation in 2004. SP-110 is available in a wide variety of colors. This is an example of the colors that I am currently making on a regular basis.

This is an example of a standard color.

We also release limited edition colors every season. Some fans are looking forward to it. Limited edition colors may or may not be reprinted. If you find a limited edition color that you like, we recommend purchasing it.

SPINGLE comfort

SPINGLE is a very comfortable sneaker. There are many things that SPINGLE is particular about when it comes to comfort, especially the insole and heel.

The insole is made from the same material used in cosmetic puffs, and features a fit that hugs the soles of your feet. The heel part uses the core material used in leather shoes even though it is a sneaker. This is one of the ways to prevent your heels from shaking when you walk, so you can walk for a long time without getting tired and feel comfortable.

These are comfort improvements that have remained unchanged since the brand's founding, but SPINGLE Co., Ltd is constantly developing and evolving new insoles and soles.

This is an example of the cup insole used in SPINGLE.

Durable and long-lasting SPINGLE shoes

SPINGLE shoes are made using the vulcanization, which is a traditional sneaker manufacturing method.

This is a machine used in the vulcanization. The molded shoes are placed in this machine and subjected to high temperature and pressure. Then, the shoe body and sole will be firmly bonded.

The advantage of the vulcanization for sneakers is that the shoe body, the rubber sole, and the tape on the sides are firmly bonded to each other, making them difficult to peel off. In addition, during the vulcanization process, the shoe itself fits perfectly against the last, creating a beautiful silhouette that follows the last. Another feature is that this silhouette does not easily collapse.

Many of SPINGLE's sneakers are made of leather. Leather is rarely used as a material for sneakers. Also, leather is a material that is sensitive to heat, but SPINGLE, which is made by combining leather with a vulcanization that applies high temperature and pressure, can be said to be a very rare sneaker in the world. SPINGLE is a sneaker that can only be made by vulcanization, which has been perfecting rubber processing and shoe making using the vulcanized manufacturing SPINGLE Co., Ltd.

About size

SPINGLE's sneakers are basically unisex. There are basically 7 sizes: XS, SS, S, M, L, LL, and XL. The largest size is XXL, which corresponds to US12 and EU45. The types available in XXL size are limited, but the number of types may increase in the future. Additionally, models designed specifically for women and men may have limited sizes.

About fitting

SPINGLE's sneakers are designed with a throw-away size. The extra dimension refers to the margin provided at the toe area, which is designed to make it easier for the fingers to bend when walking. Therefore, SPINGLE sneakers are a little longer than the indicated size.

For these reasons, when choosing SPINGLE sneakers, choose based on how well they fit around your feet. Store staff will assist you with fitting, so you can try on different types of shoes and find the sneakers that are perfect for you. Durable, long-lasting, and stylish-looking, these casual sneakers are sure to be your everyday companion.
