These glossy, patent leather zori (Japanese sandals) are perfect for pairing with formal kimono like homongi or tomesode at weddings, entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, and other special occasions. Their simple and elegant design makes them suitable for use with various kimono colors and patterns. I purchased these for a visit to a shrine and wore them for about an hour. As you can see in the photos, the soles show some wear, but I believe the uppers are free of any noticeable stains. 【LL Size】 Length: Approximately 25cm (Suitable for those with shoe sizes 24cm to 26cm) Heel Height: Approximately 5cm Platform Width: Approximately 8.5cm 【How to Choose Your Size】 The ideal zori size allows your heel to slightly extend beyond the platform, preventing you from stepping on or catching the hem of your kimono. We recommend choosing a size that is the same as your actual foot length, or about 5mm smaller.
