The streamlined design of these JIKATABI SHOES disposes with unnecessary elements to create simple, efficient footwear. The soles are designed for flexibility, allowing the toes to move freely. The uppers offer a fine fit that feels as if your feet are wrapped in a single layer of cloth. The tabi are useful for heightened control of your posture and movements and increased proprioception.These JIKATABI SHOES are produced by Marugo Company Inc. (Est. 1919) The big toe is separated from the others, allowing more dexterous movements like gripping a surface with the toes while walking. This traditional Japanese footwear has a rich history and has great practical working functionality.

Lightweight and durable
Once I got used to the tab closure system on the side it is faster than pulling on workbooks by far. These are thin soled compared to work bootsso you feel the ground more but less fatiguing to wear all day on the farm. I wear them all day working a market garden digging, weeding, lifting and carrying. My only issue is they come in Men's 10 or 11-1/2, so of course I wear 11. They seem true to size though other reviews say they are oversized. Not my experience, 11 would be perfect.Update. The original pair lasted for 7 months of daily hard use on the farm. The replacement pair is a size 10 (28 cm) and is a snugger fit but very comfortable. They do stretch a bit. I also waterproofed them with beeswax because they got wet nearly every day and they soak up water readily. I recommend that you use some type of waterproof treatment if you are hiking in them. Still my favorite shoes.

Might want to grab some ankle wraps with these.
These are light weight and offer good grip. The only issue with these are the fasteners. I suppose it was on me for not looking into the product better. At the tightest setting, the were practically falling off of me. Typically ninjas wear leg wraps, so I went with that idea, and it solved my issue. I grabbed a pair of Muy Thai ankle wraps, which wasn't very expensive, and now these boots fit extremely well and are very comfortable.

Very comfy, just remember to order a half size up. Especially if you are wearing socks

Good costume shoes
The thing you NEED to know about these is that they have virtually zero sole/support, so you will need insoles. If wearing them for a convention or something where you're on your feet for long periods of time, I'd recommend 2 layers of good insoles, which is what I had to do.

Runs at least a half size large who who's ankles are these made for?!?
I'm a 13. the 12.5 fits perfectly. The only problem is I have HUGE ankles and I'm still at the smallest buckle. Otherwise, these are great.

They fit better if you get matching Tabi socks.
These shoes are comfortable, they need a 24 hour break in period as well as purchase of socks witch match the design of the shoe. No over use of glue was found, and these were well constructed. I take size 13 w shoes and the size" 5 /11.5" fit perfectly. I will wear these for general use and try to avoid rain or getting them wet until I find some waterproofing to use on cloth/ canvas.
