Jamvaida

Jamvaida is a sub-brand of Miyagi Kogyo, a shoemaker that originated in Sendai City, Japan. After the Miyagi Kogyo factory was destroyed during World War II, operations moved to Nanyo City in Yamagata Prefecture. In 1964, Miyagi Kogyo entered a technical partnership with A. Baker & Sons of the United Kingdom, which introduced British shoemaking techniques to the company.

Jamvaida footwear is manufactured in Japan using traditional shoemaking methods. Production includes building boots around wooden lasts to shape the footwear.

Jamvaida boots use Goodyear welt construction with leather welts, enabling the boots to be resoled. The uppers are made from Horween Chromexcel leather. The outsoles include products from Dr. Sole and Vibram. Additional components such as cork filler and hardware are sourced from suppliers within Japan.

Jamvaida produces handmade moc toe boots available in several colors, including Olive, Timber, and Black Chromexcel. The designs use nickel hardware and 360-degree storm welts. The Olive and Timber versions are made with Dr. Sole Cushion Wanderer wedge soles, while the Black Chromexcel version is produced with a black Vibram wedge sole.
