Designed in Japan, Kenkoh uses the ancient principles of reflexology to stimulate and soothe the feet and the entire body. Each pair of Kenkoh footwear has almost 1,000 rubber nodules which are uniquely designed and clinically proven to stimulate the foot’s reflex points in order to revitalize the body, improve circulation, and restore overall balance. Our Story In 1949, Mr. Kyu-kichi Yamanashi established a small shoe factory, manufacturing traditional Japanese Geta footwear in the provincial town of Shizuoka in Japan. After suffering from tuberculosis, Mr. Kyu-kichi began to experiment with ancient oriental feet treatments including ‘take-fumi’ – walking on bamboo shoots – and ‘soku-sin-do’ Japanese acupressure. The impact on his health was remarkable. Mr. Yamanashi made a dramatic recovery, and got inspired to apply these ancient healing principles into the designs of traditional Japanese shoes. Kenkoh, the first massage sandal was born in 1965. Our vision at Kenkoh is to foster an overall state of wellbeing and happiness to people of all ages around the world, through helping them walk better in different stages of their lives.
