Exploring Asakusa with WT Shoes: A Senior's Walking Journey

In an exciting initiative to promote healthy aging, WT Shoes, a company dedicated to creating walking shoes for seniors, has launched a new YouTube series featuring its founder, Mr. Takashi Kawahara. The series titled "Kawahara's Asakusa Stroll" showcases beautiful walking routes in Asakusa, Tokyo, encouraging seniors to stay active and embrace the joy of walking as they aim to walk healthily until the age of 100.

The WT Shoes are specially designed not just to support mobility but also to enhance it. They aim to make activities like standing, walking, and sitting easier for older adults. As a part of this mission, WT Shoes regularly organizes walking events where participants can enjoy walking together while fostering a sense of community and fun.

The series kicks off with a long-awaited route planned for a cherry blossom viewing walk that had to be canceled earlier due to rain. This walk starts at the WT Shoes store in Asakusa, traces a scenic path along the Sumida River, and takes about 90 minutes. Mr. Kawahara, taking the viewers on this charming journey, demonstrates the ease and comfort that WT Shoes offers, making it enjoyable for seniors to engage in physical activities.

WT Shoes stands firmly on its theme of promoting longevity in mobility, believing that everyone should enjoy the experience of walking, exploring, and remaining active. With Japan facing challenges related to an aging population and increasing numbers of elderly individuals living alone, WT Shoes provides solutions that empower seniors to walk independently.

About WT Shoes

The design of WT Shoes focuses on enhancing an ideal posture for seniors, referred to as "WT’s Posture." This unique footwear incorporates special grooves in the sole that aid in aligning the skeletal structure, thus reducing strain on joints and muscles. By wearing WT Shoes, seniors can expect improved flexibility, stability, and mobility.

Ultimately, WT Shoes is not just about walking; it’s about lifting the spirits of individuals as they navigate life. The product aims to contribute to their joy and satisfaction by making everyday activities easier and healthier. As Japan progresses into a more aged society, WT Shoes aims to ensure that people can continue to walk on their own terms, living vibrant lives right into their 100s.

The company’s larger vision is to support the mental and physical health of seniors, creating tools that facilitate continued mobility and happiness. In doing so, Maruki Corporation, the parent company of WT Shoes, remains committed to increasing the number of individuals who can walk independently well into their twilight years.
