<Miyamoto Yoshikazu - Part 1>
- on the footThere are also various types. Other than uppers, what kind of orders do you have?
Miyamoto: In general, if you are a woman many people are slim, men will be wide Takashi Kinoe. There are wide and super wide in the commercial things, but it is also quite reasonable if the width does not match and still hurts.
Because there are thinner female heels too. There is also a thin last of the heel, so if it is too much it will be squeezed, make it so that it will fit nicely when you wear it.
Shoes have one heel and archIt's a big deal. I will take off if the heel is blunt. When I wear it I check with my fingers whether I'm tight, but there are cases when I cut a mouth a little.
Also, Saul is also important. We change the thickness according to individual level. We will deal with things that have cushioning properties so that you can alleviate the burden on your knees and so on, depending on what you are looking for, such as speed. If it is for the top players for practice, I will do things that have a little thickness that does not burden.
--What do you think about insoles?
Miyamoto: Insole, after completing creation of the shoes, will be after fitting the foot to the shoes. As for that, I leave it to the staff of the shop. I am making it while watching the movement of your feet.
--You were also in charge of the shoes for Olympic gold medalists, right?
Miyamoto:Yes. I met him when I was a high school student, but there was no size suitable for my feet with commercial shoes. Since I became a college student, I made shoes and insole for my own person. As the level goes up, the demand has also increased.
I was wearing it and went to the Olympic Games. In the case of that athlete, we made things for summer and winter and changed the viscosity and altitude of the sole. In the winter, the whole shoe became hard so I made it a soft thing, and made rainy and hard to slip things. I tried it many times over and over.
--How many pairs of custom-made shoes have you made?
Miyamoto:So far, I have ordered 2000 shoes.Is it the foot position? There are more men than women. We receive many orders from a variety of people, including those who are competitive and those who are about to start running marathons. Some people start with form, and some elite runners run two full marathons.Time 30There are people who cut out minutes.
- When are you happy as a craftsman?
Miyamoto:I agree. After all it is glad when you heard that you got a result or took medals.
- Can you tell us your future goals?
Miyamoto: Even slightly, I would like to make shoes that I can run easily while reducing stressis. The order shoe assembly will continue in the future. At the same time, regarding the shoes of the top players, we gradually take over to the young craftmen we expect, so we value it.
--lastly. I'm really looking forward to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, but are there any sports you're looking forward to?
Miyamoto:I agree. Right now, Japan wants strong girls with badminton and wrestling to be active.
Lately, it has been difficult for Japan to win marathons around the world, but I have high hopes for it. (Up)
