The name "FYSKY" comes from the dedication to creating leather shoes tailored to each and every customer, making them unique anywhere in the world ("Fit You") ―shoes that are so long-lasting, light, and comfortable that wearers will feel like they're walking on air ("SKY").
FYSKY's leather shoes feature not only beautiful designs but are also made with a dedication to functionality and wearing comfort.
They're soft and feel wonderful. Careful attention has been paid in every detail of their design. They're also designed so that many parts of the shoe can be repaired if needed.
To make all of this possible, FYSKY's shoes are made, one at a time, by artisans using the traditional technique of hand-sewn welting, which was how shoes were made before the invention of sewing machines.
FYSKY also makes other leather products using leather offcuts and makes custom-made insoles.
It has researched the feet of countless Japanese people to develop unique wooden molds. These are used as a base, and then the shoes are adjusted based on the distinct shapes and features of individual customers' feet. This produces shoes that feel great from the very first day they're worn, and can be worn for long periods of time without tiring.

Philosophy & Vision
High-quality, Long-lasting Products
Tokyo's leather shoe-making industry is concentrated in a small area centered around Taito Ward. This covers everything from material procurement to shoe manufacturing.
Yosuke Ide, founder of FYSKY, learned the craft in a leather shoe workshop in Taito Ward. He uses the expertise he has accrued to plan, manufacture, and sell custom-made leather shoes and leather accessories.
Traditional hand-sewn welting is a technique used for making shoes by hand, finishing the shoe by sewing it, stitch by stitch, to perfectly fit the wearer's foot.
The shoes FYSKY makes using this method are extremely long-lasting and are tailored to fit individual feet, which can vary significantly from person to person. That makes them far more comfortable than mass-produced shoes and offer greater added value.
In 2022, FYSKY launched its Offcuts brand, planning, manufacturing, and selling leather accessories. It is contributing to the achievement of the SDGs through its mission of using all of the leather it procures to make products, minimizing waste.
These hand-made shoes and accessories made with offcuts are crafted individually, not mass produced, and are produced using locally-sourced materials from the Tokyo area, so they're bound to resonate with people in Japan and, especially, people overseas.
