HEP
Founded in 1952 in Nara, a region known for footwear craftsmanship. HEP continues to refine and reinterpret its signature slip-on sandals—long familiar in Japanese households—through a modern lens, ensuring their relevance for the future.



A new color that sharpens the look
The combination of silver and a black sole strikes a refined balance between lightness and definition.

Not overly bold, yet featuring a subtle sheen that adds just the right accent to your look. Even in the simplicity of summer styling, it brings quiet depth without overwhelming the outfit.







Comfort that lasts throughout the day
The upper is made with soft, padded synthetic leather. While offering the refined appearance of genuine leather, it provides immediate softness and a natural fit from the first wear.

The mid-layer features lightweight cushioning EVA. Combined with an insole with moisture-wicking, breathable, antibacterial, and deodorizing properties, it stays comfortable even when worn barefoot.



The outsole is made from a highly durable, wear-resistant material for long-lasting durability.

A gentle slope from heel to toe supports a natural and comfortable stride.





Thoughtful details for everyday ease
The upper balances breathability with a clean, streamlined appearance. Its simple design pairs effortlessly with both bare feet and socks, making it highly versatile.



Please note that due to a change in outsole edge specifications, you may receive either version depending on the timing of your order. *No change has been made to the width.

Specific version requests cannot be accommodated. Thank you for your understanding.



Notice the angled cut at the heel. Originally designed to help drivers better position their foot on the accelerator, this detail carries forward a sense of functional beauty into a modern design—true to the brand’s ethos.

The back strap features a two-way design, allowing it to be worn forward or back. When worn around the heel, it enhances hold and stability; flipped forward, it transforms into an easy slip-on. Two distinct styles to suit your preference.







Minimal design for effortless styling
A flat, grounded feel makes these driving sandals easy to walk in.

Wear them barefoot, or let patterned or colorful socks peek through the upper for added styling. Designed to let you feel the summer breeze from the toes up—an ideal pair for the season.
