Yohei Fukuda learned shoemaking in Northamptonshire, the traditional home of English shoemaking, followed by a local apprenticeship and then work for several years for London firms.

After returning to Japan he founded Yohei Fukuda in Tokyo in 2008. Since its founding the workshop has grown and now has 4 additional craftsmen, each driven by the same passion for shoemaking and dedication to quality for which Yohei Fukuda shoes are known.

At Yohei Fukuda the aim is to create classically styled shoes of the highest quality that will be of value to their owners for many years.

Each and every element of the shoe is carefully considered, from the design and materials to finishing.
