These are lightweight, quick-drying waraji-style sandals made by wrapping a nylon core with yukata fabric and then braiding it. Although the yukata fabric is recycled, the sandals themselves are new. The thong in the photo appears yellow, but it is actually orange. The size is suitable for approximately 24-24.5cm. To wash, hand wash and put in a net for spin-drying, or use the delicate cycle in a washing machine with a net. Please wash separately as there is a risk of color bleeding. If the thong loosens or feels tight after wearing for a while, please untie and retie the thong on the underside. These are handmade items, so they are not perfect. Please understand this before purchasing. Please refrain from purchasing if you have a dog allergy.
