■ Urban country line using Norwegian hand-sewn welted construction The Norwegian hand-sewn welted construction is said to have originated in Norway and is a shoemaking design that was originally used for hiking boots, ski boots, and military boots. The 42ND ROYAL HIGHLAND Explorer is made of four materials: a heavy upper, a flexible lining, a highly flexible insole, and the Norwegian welt, which is characterized by its L-shape. The sewing thread (scoop thread) is visible on the outside, and the pitch is carefully hand-sewn one stitch at a time so that it is uniform. As the name "Explorer" suggests, this is an urban country line from 42ND ROYAL HIGHLAND for adults who are active and curious, whether on asphalt or unpaved roads. ■ Box calf leather from Annonay, France The upper is made of luxurious box calf leather from Annonay, France, one of the world's best tanneries. It has a beautiful luster and a fine, smooth texture that you can see at a glance. The box calf leather has a firmness and toughness, and although it may feel hard at first, it is resistant to deformation and its greatest feature is that it fits your feet well the more you wear it. You should be able to experience a feeling of fitting, not unnecessary looseness. Glazing fixes the color and gives the leather a glossy surface, bringing out a sense of luxury. ■ Elastic rubber sole developed in-house Utilizing many years of experience in shoemaking, we have created an original rubber sole with a unique blend. It is made with a solid feel to withstand the voluminous upper that makes use of thick leather, but you can expect flexibility and elasticity. Original parts are also available for all-sole repairs.
