Overview

bio fitter is a Japanese private label launched by Chiyoda Co., Ltd. in 2005. Aimed at a wide range of generations, from children to adults, it offers walking, sports, casual, and nurse shoes for men, women, and kids and juniors. It takes a sports medicine perspective to examine walking scientifically, offering shoes at accessible price points with features that support walking, such as cushioning, fit, and lightweight construction. Inspired by the wish to “deliver excellent shoes to everyone,” its concept is “considerate of the body.” It has several lines, including women’s, nurse, sports, and universal, and continues to be offered as a Chiyoda private label.
