Nine to Six Co., Ltd. is developing the global footwear brand Walking Master®. It started in 1993 with CEO Ki Seong-il, who has been working on functional shoe development and manufacturing research for 30 years based in Tokyo, Japan. CEO Seong-il Ki worked for a global shoe company and has been recognized for his unrivaled technology and design skills in the functional shoe manufacturing market. In 2017, CEO Ki Hee-kyung, the second-generation daughter, founded the company after five years of product R&D research. After that until now We collected more than 1 million customer foot-data and launched functional shoes and insoles using Silicon-Tech technology.

Walking Master said in Tokyo, Japan, “美しいためには快適でなければなりません(To be beautiful, you have to be comfortable)” This is a footwear brand that inherited the craftsmanship of my father, who ran a comfort shoe brand for 30 years, along with a brand identity. Silicon Tech places comfort as the top priority for footwear, and aims to make people's walks more comfortable. We are developing Walking Master with the goal of “ウォーキングをマスターしよう!(Let’s master walking!)” The brand started out as a Work-Footwear manufacturer of functional insoles and footwear for people with tired feet, but has now become a global shoe brand with unisex footwear that can be worn casually in everyday life.
