Japanese Wooden Clogs Geta Slippers

This lightweight shoe has grippy soles. The cushy straps are satiny on top and have a grippy sort of suede-like material on the bottom. The included tabi socks aren’t the best but help keep the shoes on your feet. I ordered a size 6.5 in black on black and was sent a size 38 which fit my whole foot very well. Note: I usually wear a 36 in a European size (2 sizes up from my regular size). You must break these Geti clogs in by wearing them for a short time each day and shorten your stride. You’ll learn to manage the clunk. I find they have good arch support, however they are not for extended walking outdoors. That said, it’s a good Japanese style shoe for light wear and an authentic look with your kimono or yukata.

It’s hard to find sandals I like and I love these! Surprisingly comfortable and stylish. Love the clunking sounds they naturally make

Decent quality but the size guide isn't correct. They run large. I followed the sizing guidelines exactly and expected them to fit Japanese style (where the foot hangs slightly off the sandal), however these for American style (where there is a lot of extra space unoccupied by the foot. This makes them harder to walk in. The tabi socks are just ok, though they are comfortable and make wearing the geta easier.

They are exactly as pictured, described and desired. I bought them as quick easy shoes for pedicures. They do take a moment to walk in as to not sound like a horse on NYC sidewalks. but once you stop thinking about them and just walk, they are as quiet as sneakers. These Getas can be found in childrens sizes and for men as well. Pro: Thick rubber on the wooden bottom for sound proofing, anti-slip on wet surfaces. Carved insole to help flat feet, or stop the foot from loosing its arch like with standard flip flops. Pain free arch support. For me this is my introduction to arch support as the $60 forms my podiatrists had me purchase had me standing, walking and just resting in complete pain.

The shoes are fine for the price, but after one use they stained my socks. The bottom of the clogs are foam so be mindful where you are walking with these. The sizing is off, I had to get the 8-9 when my actual size is a 7.5W in the states.

Fits nice, feels comfortable- but I'll have to take it to a festival soon to see how it feels walking in for a long while- but with the socks I don't have to worry about slipping. The colors options are nice and great for matching with whatever traditional Japanese outfit you might already have.

Fun Story: My honeymoon photographer couldn't make it and your sandals held my phone perfectly for a great shot! Not only a great sandal, but an expert photographer! Thanks again for these awesome, sturdy sandals!

Nice great for the occasion and cost
