【Size and Fit】 The actual size is approximately 22cm. Unlike the feel of typical sneakers, this product is designed with the traditional beauty and walking balance of zori (Japanese sandals) in mind. ■ About Choosing Zori Sizes (The Maker's and Wearer's Aesthetic) * Zori are considered stylish when the heel slightly extends beyond the sandal. * By extending the heel by about 1-1.5cm, the center of gravity shifts forward, allowing for better foot movement and easier natural walking. * Especially with low-heeled zori, extending the heel slightly can reduce fatigue. (※ When wearing white tabi socks, please be careful of dirt.) * For rain-specific shigure-zori, many people wear them with the heel fully covered, and the way they are worn varies depending on the purpose. * For those who tuck up the hem of their kimono, extending the heel makes their movements more graceful and their walking more comfortable. 【Material and Rarity】 This product is a zori made with "tatami omote" (tatami surface), which has become very rare nowadays. It is a material that is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain year by year, and there will not be many opportunities for it to appear on the market in this condition and craftsmanship in the future. It has a quiet presence that the material itself possesses, which is not found in mass-produced items, and a timeless appearance that does not fade over time. ⸻ 【Condition】 It has been stored carefully, but it is an antique item. Also, it is an item that has been in someone else's possession once. We hope that those who appreciate the value of the item, including its age and background, rather than seeking perfect, like-new condition, will purchase it.
