Natural material zori made with foot health in mind. Supervised by "Dr. Hakuzo Harada," who researches the development and health of children's feet, these lightweight and durable shoes were created based on the importance of using the toes. Enjoyed by adults of all ages, with comments like "I wear them as foot and leg training, and walking has become easier." "Misatokko," born from the technological prowess of "Sango-cho," the birthplace of zori. Sango-cho is located in the western part of Nara Prefecture and is also famous as a production area for zori. During the Edo period, straw zori manufacturing was a family business, and it is a town with many highly skilled artisans who continue to pass down the manufacturing of "Misatokko" to this day. It all began when the "local artisans" of this famous zori-producing area collaborated with "Dr. Hakuzo Harada" to solve foot problems such as weak toe strength, underdeveloped arches, bunions, and a tendency to put weight on the heels. Through repeated trial and error, the artisans carefully crafted zori with foot health in mind, considering the appropriate firmness of the zori platform, the height, thickness, and strength of the thong (hanao), the lack of stretch, the length, thickness, and strength of the side straps, the lack of stretch, and the position of the thong. Regarding size selection: Ideally, the heel should extend about 1 cm from the zori. Measure the actual length of your foot (from the tip of your big toe to your heel), and choose a size that is 1 cm longer, or about 1 cm smaller than the size of the shoes you are currently wearing. When the heel extends from the zori, it receives stimulation when walking, which enhances health benefits. Adults should also choose a size that fits their feet. If they are too big, you won't be able to grip the thong firmly with your toes, which will put extra strain on your feet and cause fatigue. *For those with high insteps or wide feet, a size up may be a better fit, depending on the degree. *The thong may feel tight when you first start wearing them, but it will soften over time.
