About 810s by Moonstar

810s is a footwear line from Moonstar, a shoemaker based in Kurume, Japan. Moonstar comes from Tsukihoshi, a pioneer of rubber jikatabi since 1873, and it is a veteran maker of professional comfort shoes for hospitals, kitchens and schools. 810s takes the know-how gained in those working settings and turns it into shoes for everyday wear. The name is worth knowing. It reads as eight-tenths, or 8/10, from the Japanese idea of a stomach that is eight-tenths full: not full, but not unsatisfactory. The shoes aim for that same 80% satisfaction, a number Japanese proverb treats as just right. Simple, functional and comfortable is the brief.
