Tabi Boots Ninja Shoes Jikatabi (Outdoor tabi) MANNEN Nuitsuke (Sewn Rubber Outsole) 12 hock

Let me preface this by saying that I bought these jikatabi for work as an esthetician. I need shoes that are comfortable, very flat, and very versatile. These shoes are all three of those. I wear a US standard 8.5, not wide, but my calves are pretty bulky. TOES: Not too far apart, the separation is very natural and the toe box is the perfect size for me personally. My other 4 toes could be a 1/4 inch longer and still fit comfortably in these. The sole does not curve around the edge of the toes like other brands do, which looks much cleaner and more sleek. UPPER: Very versatile hook closure and can fit snug or loose. It took me a few tries to get the perfect fit on the fabric loops, and some practice to hook them quickly. A+ for size allowance. INSOLE: The insoles are flat, which is okay for me. Sole inserts will fit perfectly in these and not constrict my feet. OUTER SOLE: Very grippy, but VERY squeaky. For a quick fix I recommend using a bar of cheap soap, dry, and rubbing it along the entire bottom of the sole, including the outer edges (no, you will not lose traction or slip. I've been doing this for years, especially on Doc Martens soles). After that, these bad boys are literally ninja silent. FABRIC: Thick and sturdy, nice soft lining isn't itchy. I will be using a waterproofing/weatherproofing spray to prevent staining and protect them from the elements or any chemicals/products I work with. Overall, excellent shoe.

Different type of boot for me, I like the boots comfy and light weight on my feet and legs. Wish I could get in brown, grey and beige colors.

Very comfortable and fit perfectly. Will buy a second pair in black

Got these for my husband and he loves them! They are actually really nice quality. True to size as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for this style of footwear.

Best design of all tabis this brad id best too this style jikatabi and brand is used in japan for laborers and gardener and pilgrimage for shikoku 88 temples even monks too if you visit japan look out for workers you see thease theyre not costume made they're the real deal also walk not with heel but flat foot method its great

These shoes have worked out great! They are my daily shoes. The metal clasps that fasten the boot didn't take long to get used to. The soles seem durable. I am very happy with them. I added an insole to them, and this made them a bit tight but, after a week or so they have worn in comfortably and I don't feel I have lost much if any dexterity.

If you go based off the review you need to order a few sizes up from your norm. I wear a 9.5 and these fit me perfectly because I ordered them big. As far a quality goes I must say, for the price I did not expect to get something this nice. They are light, comfortable enough for what they are, and well made. Only time will tell if they will hold up for multiple uses of my costume. I give them 4 and a half stars but it made me give a 5 so theres my 2 cents

Foot part fit perfectly, way too small for my calves and ankles. C’est la vie.
