As simple as just changing a pair of shoes and a few minute effortless exercises.
SHIN-WARAJI ～Total Body Toner Shoes～ brings the benefits of traditional straw footwear (Waraji) in modern reiteration that traces back to MARUKI's 128 years+ of shoe making experience originating in Asakusa combined with Matsumura-sensei’s Bone Stretch® chiropractic experience.

Before wearing SHIN-WARAJI, I cannot walk for long distances because I would feel tired quickly and if I persisted in beating out the tiredness, I would start to feel fatigue and pain at my pelvis, hip joints until I can barely move them. Luckily, I managed to stop without further damaging my body, but it would take days to fully recover.
I wear arch support insoles prescribed by doctors for more than two decades, but problems always persist. I didn't have a solution.
When I first experience SHIN-WARAJI, it was a strange sensation.
Firstly because I usually wear thick soles, so are many shoes out there. My sports shoes all have thick soles compared to SHIN-WARAJI that has thin soles, business shoes are even worse with a thick heel. It was rather unfamiliar rather than discomfort. It took time to get accustomed to.
Secondly, the benefits of SHIN-WARAJI was instant. The moment I stood up wearing SHIN-WARAJI, it took no effort in standing up. I feel like a different set of muscles are being used.
When I started walking, balancing felt effortless, as I used to focus on balancing, focus on each of my step, that would tire out my mind and feel like sitting down and rest.
Everything was just so, natural, like walking bare feet which we were also looking into as part of wellbeing solution. It really enhances my proprioception.
The shoes are also very light and comfortable to touch with, I feel less fatigue walking over long distances.
Usually I feel tired after 7,000 steps a day and my pelvis, my hip would hurt, but now I can go on 20,000 steps and beyond and I could still go on without feeling pain or tired.
It’s not just walking. As SHIN-WARAJI corrected my feet, being the foundation of the body, the rest of my posture improved, and I started seeing less pain on my back, shoulders and neck.
It's really a "try it to believe it" kind of shoes. It's hard to convince just by telling people the theory. If it works, it works!
But so far, majority of the people with problem walking, knee pain, back pain, poor balance saw immediate improvement.
In my most recent visit, they are already producing Golf Shoes. Helping golfers improve performance and reduce injuries.
I wish I discover this much earlier and so, I wish to spread this happiness to many people facing similar problems.
Comparison of SHIN-WARAJI, bare feet and wearing business shoes using Visbody 3D Posture Scanner
“When I reached late 70’s, my daughter couldn’t bear to see me walking limping, that’s when she took me to a Bone Stretch® seminar. Just by wearing a pair of shoes?! It fits perfectly! I could immediately walk effortlessly without limping. My feet feel like connected with the ground. Thanks to SHIN-WARAJI, I could aim to walk 3,000 – 5,000 steps per day. Something so simple can make me life so much easier, make me happier.”
“I gave a pair of Room Shoes to my 82 years old mother as a present to replace ordinary home slippers. When my mother wear ordinary slippers, she can barely lift her feet, it looks like she’ll fall anytime, making us very concerned. Once she wears SHIN-WARAJI Room Shoes, her balance and posture look much better, much more natural. The way she looks when she’s walking, looks like we have much less to worry about now. Also, it’s amazing how her lower back pain disappeared altogether.”
“It’s amazing how my feet feel so much lighter the moment I put on these shoes. As I thought it could reduce my feet’s fatigue during work, I bought it instantly. Although it’s more expensive than ordinary shoes, I didn’t think twice and bought a pair of black and a pair of brown. Ever since I own these two pairs, I’m not wearing other shoes anymore.”
“So, when I first wore SHIN-WARAJI Golf Shoes around the golf course, out of nowhere, my drives got extended by 10-15 yards, I was so surprised. What surprised me even more is I could use so much strength, I’ve torn my brand-new gloves. How did a pair of shoes make my body feel lighter? How did my swing speed increase by that much? Anyway, this will become my weapon on the golf course.”
