Daiichi Gomu
Founded in 1933 in Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost prefecture, Daiichi Gomu is one of the country’s only rubber-boot manufacturers committed to high-quality domestic production. The heritage brand’s signature style is a black below-knee boot with an adjustable gusseted collar and an artfully treaded sole—ideal, perhaps, for traversing the snow-covered parks of Hokkaido, and well beyond.
