These are waterproof, split-toe shoes, similar to traditional Japanese "jikatabi" work boots. I bought these for trekking in a foreign country with a lot of rain and used them once. I usually wear non-waterproof jikatabi shoes, and compared to other brand sneakers, they are very easy to walk in and my feet don't get tired easily. I feel that the split-toe design is anatomically suitable. Reviews suggest they are highly rated for outdoor activities, field work, walking, and as sneaker shoes for rainy weather, even by people with wide feet or bunions. ● Durable rubber sole. ● More waterproof than sewn tabi. 【Features】To make the jikatabi waterproof, the toes are reinforced with rubber, and the instep is specially coated. Practical jikatabi suitable for river construction and muddy work. Traditional Japanese jikatabi, black (purple lining), durable material. Upper material: Cotton Sole material: Rubber Foot width: Standard Toe cap: None Closure: 5 kohaze (clasps) Size: 23cm ※ I usually wear 23.5-24cm shoes, and I bought these based on the recommendation, and they fit well. Please check the photos for the condition and agree before purchasing. [Excerpts from reviews] I have high arches, so it's hard to find shoes that I can wear without pain. I thought, "If I just cover everything?" I was also drawn to the functional beauty of the design, so I tried them. And... I'm very satisfied. A sense of security for my ankles. I want to ask myself why I didn't try these sooner. The kohaze clasps can be difficult to put on and take off until you get used to them, but they are less tiring and comfortable for bunions ⭐︎ I tend to have bunions, so the separated big toe part provides support and feels very good when I wear them. I wish I had worn these since I was young. #jikatabi #waterproof #waterprooftabi #waterproofshoes #bunions #outdooractivities #fieldwork #walking #sneakers #shoes #boots #rainshoes #trekking #adult #child #unisex #23.5 #men #women #shoes #tabi #jikatabi #fit #bunionscorrection #running #jogging #training #fitness #gym #workout #sports #festival #mikoshi (portable shrine) #tabishoes
