MOISTHROUGH 360 / HOBALIPS Waterproof × Breathable Loafers

MOISTHROUGH 360
Equipped with patented 360-degree breathable waterproof technology developed by Hiroshima Kasei, a company with more than 70 years of history, MOISTHROUGH360 combines waterproof performance with exceptional breathability. Guided by the philosophy that “Necessity = Design,” the brand creates minimalist footwear that balances clean aesthetics with practical functionality, delivering lasting comfort even on rainy days.





MOISTHROUGH360’s Unique Breathable Waterproof System
Unlike conventional waterproof shoes that rely on waterproof membranes, MOISTHROUGH360 achieves reliable waterproof performance with its proprietary breathable system. Designed to release air and water vapor throughout the shoe—from the upper to the sole—it provides 360-degree breathability while keeping water out.



All materials used in the upper are made with specially developed breathable waterproof materials. By carefully waterproofing each individual seam thread by hand, the shoe achieves an exceptionally high level of water resistance without relying on a waterproof membrane. Unlike conventional membrane-based constructions, which may deteriorate or peel over time, this advanced waterproof performance is designed to last for an extended period.

It also offers excellent breathability, maintaining an in-shoe humidity level close to the outside air even during extended wear, helping reduce uncomfortable moisture buildup and keeping your feet comfortable.



The sole is also equipped with a unique “pump function” that expels air and water vapor in sync with the natural motion of walking. Its 360-degree circulation system efficiently vents heat and moisture through the gap between the upper and the sole, allowing fresh air to circulate throughout the shoe and reach every part of the foot for exceptional comfort.

Please note: This product is not completely waterproof. Water may penetrate under certain conditions or depending on usage.



Environmentally conscious materials are used throughout, including 30% recycled polyester in the upper mesh and 10% recycled EVA in the upper layer of the midsole.





Details Designed for Enhanced Walking Comfort
The signature slotted saddle on a penny loafer is crafted from synthetic leather and paired with upper materials of different textures, creating a balance between technical expression and the classic, refined look of a loafer.

The last is designed to suit Japanese foot shapes, ensuring a smooth and comfortable fit when putting the shoes on.



The insole features a specially developed mesh material designed to maximize breathability. The underside is equipped with ventilation holes and cushioning for arch support, helping reduce underfoot stuffiness while providing long-lasting comfort during extended walks.



The midsole is constructed with three layers of materials with varying firmness to deliver an optimal walking experience. A cushioned material absorbs impact, while a cup-shaped heel structure enhances stability by reducing side-to-side movement. In addition, a high-rebound material supports a light, propulsive stride.



The outsole uses durable rubber across the entire contact surface. Designed for long-lasting durability, it resists wear even after extended use while providing excellent grip on wet surfaces. The vivid light blue “MOISTHROUGH360” logo is subtly revealed from the underside of the sole only when walking, adding a playful touch unique to the brand.





Polished, yet effortlessly relaxed
By combining materials with different textures in the upper, the all-black design gains depth and dimension without feeling monotonous. It maintains the composed feel of a loafer while avoiding both a rigid and overly sporty impression, achieving a refined balance.

The voluminous sole adds just the right accent to the foot and pairs beautifully with modern wide pants. Its thickness also creates a natural leg-lengthening effect. A dependable pair for any urban setting, rain or shine.
