These are authentic geta (Japanese sandals) with a cowhide back and white thongs. It's said that geta should fit snugly, with just the tips of your toes catching the thong, or even be a bit small. Wearing them with your heels slightly overhanging is considered stylish. The surface is vinyl-coated, so footprints don't remain. The back is made of genuine cowhide to prevent slipping. By all means, white-thonged geta are essential for men's formal kimono wear. [Quality] Surface: Vinyl resin, Back: Genuine leather Actual size: 24.8cm, Width: 9.8cm
