01JP Low Sneaker - Red

Shoes Like Pottery, made in the same factory as Moonstar, is done slow and steady - like the process of hand throwing, glazing, and firing pottery. The kiln they use to vulcanize the rubber is very similar in nature to the one used in the process of ceramics. The foxing surrounding the shoe even reminds us of some patterns we’ve seen in our favorite potters' clay work. These were intentional. The name means what it says. A slow process of stitching, wrapping, molding, and firing gives these shoes a foundation you’ll be able to stand on for a long time. The beauty in the aesthetics of the shoes means more to us in that way. Voting with your dollars is the perfect intersection of sensory pleasure and storytelling. The two waves flow through the universe in parallel, only crossing paths on rare occasions. We specialize in curating those occasions, and so does Shoes Like Pottery. We're so excited about this light red variation. It's so classic and an instant eye-catcher.

Fit Notes:  So here's the skinny. People get very confused about sizing, and the best way we know to remedy that is by comparing them to other shoes. These shoes are known to run pretty true with just a bit more room in the toe box than Shoes Like Pottery. You might be able to get away with sizing down without feeling a pinch from the rubber toe cap on this one. Take your typical Converse Chuck 70, Vans, or Nike size and stick with that.

Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 9 in the pictures. He is typically an 8.5-9 in Converse. He wears a size 9 in all Vans and Nike variations. Without an additional insole or super-thick socks, he can wear a size 8 from SLP and Moonstar, but it is tight, so he never chooses to purchase that size. It is ultimately a 9 across the board. So we would always recommend sizing up if you're between sizes.
