When I first met Mr. Sawada of Grippers in Namerikawa, his immense passion for "Bensan" (vinyl sandals) inspired me to want to carry them at 85-Store. These Sabot Bensan were ordered specifically for 85-Store at our request.

When you actually wear them, they have great grip, a thick sole that makes them easy to walk in, and they don't tire your feet out. Although my spouse and I at 85-Store had never worn Bensan before, they have now become our favorite shoes that we wear every single day.

They pair well with vintage clothing, and we especially recommend styling them with wide-leg pants.
