Introducing 'Kakato Bijin' - The Future of Heel Care
In a groundbreaking move,
SHIZKA Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has launched its latest product, the
'Kakato Bijin' moisturizing socks. Specially designed for individuals struggling with dry, cracked heels, these socks present a revolutionary approach to foot care. No longer do consumers need to rely on creams or wraps; simply wearing these socks promises continuous moisture retention and ease throughout the day.
Features of 'Kakato Bijin'
Remarkable 5-Layer Design for Enhanced Moisture Retention
The standout feature of Kakato Bijin is its unique 5-layer structure, which effectively seals in moisture. The combination of nylon and titanium layers prevents heat loss and encapsulates hydration, enveloping the callused heel in soothing moisture, akin to the effects of a steam pack. This design promises an unprecedented level of hydration for the feet.
Innovative Length for Ankle Protection
Breaking the traditional mold of heel-only coverings, the Kakato Bijin socks extend up to the ankle, providing comprehensive coverage. This new design not only helps prevent blisters but also ensures comfort whether at work or during outings, making it an ideal choice for any setting.
Odor-Free Comfort for 24 Hours
The socks feature built-in antibacterial and deodorizing properties that guarantee freshness throughout extended wear. While they minimize odors, it's important to note that they may not completely eliminate all bacteria or smells.
Year-Round Moisturizing Solutions
These socks are your reliable companion for moisture management all year long:
- - Winter: Combat dryness with soothing hydration.
- - Summer: Protect your heels from dryness caused by air conditioning.
- - Everyday Life: Enjoy comfort and freshness, even after prolonged wear.
- - Outdoors: The ankle coverage safeguards against blisters during activities.
Economical and Reusable
Thoughtfully designed for everyday use, the Kakato Bijin socks are washable and recyclable, allowing for repeated use with ease and convenience.
Understanding Heel Issues
Heels tend to become rough and dry due to their lack of sebaceous glands, leading to insufficient natural oils to retain moisture. Factors such as dry air and friction from shoes can exacerbate this issue, causing the skin to thicken and harden in response to frequent irritation.

- - Focused hydration during sleep
- - Moisture retention in air-conditioned offices
