"F.lli Giacometti" -FG 166 Gurkha Sandals- They are truly great shoes that last forever.
These are my favorite sandals, which I have stocked for the first time in a while.
The FG166 is the quintessential Gurkha sandal that has become synonymous with Giacometti.
Gurkha sandals originated from the footwear worn by the 19th-century British Army's Nepalese mountain unit, known as the Gurkha soldiers.
Tracing their origins, it seems that it was "MULBERRY" in the 1970s that introduced these Gurkha sandals into the fashion scene.
The style, which applies delicate and elegant tailoring to rugged, functional military footwear, has stood the test of time and is now established as a traditional style.
So, perhaps there is no need for me to go out of my way to introduce them at kiretto.
Honestly.
Even so, the reason I persistently introduce these is because I truly love these shoes.
They are shoes that have been loved by many, and I, too, admired the cool seniors I saw wearing them.
"Because they are more comfortable than you would imagine, contrary to their stoic appearance."
"Because of the thoughtful inclusion of kangaroo leather in areas that shouldn't stretch, and the durability that allows them to withstand rough treatment thanks to the precision of the stitching itself."
"Because they have the versatility to match any outfit."
And so on.
Various reasons come to mind, but I am sure the reason these shoes are truly loved by so many people is because,
"They are shoes that make the person wearing them look cool."
I believe it is thanks to the word-of-mouth that stems from that, and the demeanor of those who have purchased these shoes.
This season, they come in three colors:
black grained leather, a seductive brown, and a bold python.
.
These shoes are so cool that they make styling effortless, and they are so wonderful that there was even a time I avoided wearing them for that very reason.
You don't need to add a sole protector either.
If the toe or heel wears down, just repair those parts, and that alone will allow you to cherish this pair for a long time.
One pair is not enough; if you add one pair every year and increase your variations, you won't have to worry about your summer footwear anymore.
I hope you will try wearing them with socks even after it gets cooler, and with warm socks in the winter as well.
