[Empire Shoes, Dehara Shoes]

Since our founding 71 years ago, we have been making high-quality, delicate shoes by making the most of the wisdom and high technical skills of our shoemakers. We value the continuation of the "tradition" of shoemaking, and will continue to incorporate new trends and develop products that will satisfy our customers.

Founded 71 years ago
More than 50 years ago, a pair of leather shoes was very expensive and customers would cherish and wear that pair. For shoemakers, this was a joy and a source of pride. As time passed, the sense and needs for "leather shoes" changed, but we at Empire Shoes Dehara Shoemaking have inherited the passion of the craftsmen who made shoes up until now, and we aim to make shoes that our customers will want to cherish.

Carefully selected genuine leather
Since our founding, we have been committed to using genuine leather and have been selling European-style traditional and soft business shoes. As they are made from natural materials, no two pairs are exactly alike. We value the natural texture and utilize the individuality of the leather to create a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes.


Delivery to government agencies
Our many years of experience have earned us the trust of our public servants, and we deliver to them every year. We also deliver to the Osaka Prefectural Police, Hyogo Prefectural Police, Kinki District Fire Department, and many other prefectural police and fire departments.
