History
Devoted to Exploring the Art of Walking
Since their establishment as a sandal manufacturer in 1963, Yamato has continued to manufacture their products from start to finish at their workshop near the Seto Inland Sea.
The company has a long history of producing shoes for numerous apparel makers, and in 2016, launched its own “Reela” sandal brand at an exhibition in Ehime Prefecture.
With each sandal crafted individually by skilled artisans, the company has gradually increased their product line through the support of repeat customers.
With their tireless commitment to comfort, Yamato continues to produce high-quality sandals based on years of research into the art of walking.
Characteristics
Slippers That Become a Part of Your Everyday Life
“Reela” is a brand of “room sabot” slippers created through a tireless commitment to comfort.
While conventional slippers are finished after they’ve been sewn together, Reela slippers are further shaped in wooden molds for about two days, resulting in comfortable footwear that fits the feet perfectly from the moment you first wear it.
Even the soles, which appear simple, are made with the utmost attention to detail. Cushioning material has been applied to both the top and bottom layers with additional cushioning at the heel for extra support when standing and to alleviate stress on the feet when walking.
Experience the soothing feeling of slipping into these room sabot slippers and having your feet enter a world of cozy softness.

Slippers That Showcase the Beauty in Simplicity
The seemingly simple design of Reela slippers is actually a testament to the outstanding skills and techniques of Yamato’s artisans. All stages of the production process—from leather selection to cutting, sewing, and shaping—are done by hand by their dedicated craftspeople.
Yamato has been pursuing comfort for over 50 years now. They have poured all of their knowledge and expertise into the creation of their room sabot slippers to make sure all superfluous elements were eliminated from the final product.
These slippers are so amazingly light, you will feel like you’re walking around barefoot.
The Reela brand is a guarantee of casual luxury.
