In recent years, anxiety about falling or slipping on rainy days has become a major concern, particularly among those aged 50 and older.
In this context, J-BREAK Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Japan) has developed shoes focused on "daily slip resistance." Their project on the crowdfunding service "Makuake" surpassed 6,383,020 yen as of April 19, 2026.
Developed under the concept of "not special shoes, but shoes that protect ordinary days," this product is currently available for a limited time until April 29.
As Japan's population ages, the risk of falls in daily life has become a social issue. Especially on rainy days or wet surfaces, slipperiness is often a factor in accidents.
On the other hand, shoes that strongly emphasize anti-slip functions tend to be biased toward sports or work use, and those that can be worn daily without feeling out of place are currently limited.
Under these circumstances, the need for "anti-slip shoes for daily use" is increasing. This product was planned by development members from Hokkaido based on their experience in "daily slippery environments."
While based on a design that allows safe walking even on snow, rain, and wet roads, emphasis was placed on a design that fits into daily life.
It was developed from the perspective of "reducing anxiety in daily life, rather than for special occasions."
- Opening day: Approx. 4.38 million yen achieved
- As of April 19, 2026: Surpassed 6,383,020 yen
Many purchasers are primarily in their 50s and 60s, supporting the product as "daily shoes that can be worn with peace of mind."
Key features of the product are as follows:
- Design that is non-slip even on wet roads
- Thick sole structure that prevents fatigue even during long walks
- Simple design easy to use daily
- Usable regardless of the season
*Not waterproof
Comment from J-BREAK Co., Ltd.:
"We developed this product because we wanted to reduce the small daily stress of walking while worrying about your feet on rainy days. Rather than emphasizing special functions, we believe there is value in 'being able to spend ordinary days with peace of mind.' Through this project, we once again realized that many people feel the same anxiety."
The project is currently progressing toward its end, and some rewards are already limited in quantity. Sales are for a limited time until April 29, 2026.
