Among traditional Japanese geta (wooden clogs), the single-toothed Tengu geta stands out.

While many people associate them with the Tengu (a mythical Japanese creature), they have become more widely recognized as they are used in training by professional boxers, Olympic gold medalists in figure skating, and professional soccer players.

With single-toothed geta, maintaining balance while standing is difficult, and the body naturally adjusts to stand straight, which is said to improve balance and aid in core training.

Width: approx. 12.0cm, Height: approx. 6cm

●Measurements are approximate; however, due to the handmade nature of each pair, there may be slight variations of a few millimeters.

●The ideal size is when your heel slightly extends beyond the edge.

Recently, these shoes have become popular not only among athletes but also among the general public, as they offer an easy way to train your core muscles and improve posture simply by wearing them.

By firmly gripping the thong between your big toe and index finger while walking, you can train your toes. Compared to wearing regular shoes, these shoes engage more muscles, leading to a more stable core and improved posture.

While regular shoes make contact with the ground over a surface area, single-toothed shoes have a contact area closer to a line, significantly narrowing the range in which you can maintain balance.

Therefore, even a slight deviation from this balance range mobilizes muscles around the core that are not normally used to maintain balance. Continuously wearing single-toothed shoes strengthens the core and dramatically improves balance.

However, since you'll be using muscles you don't normally use, it will be very tiring at first. Be careful not to walk for too long, as fatigue can easily lead to falls.

These geta (wooden clogs) have a single tooth in the center, requiring you to maintain balance while walking, so beginners might think they're difficult to walk in. However, once you actually try them on, you'll find they're relatively easy to walk in.

These are traditional Awa paulownia wood geta with a distinctive modern pattern on the thong.

Geta size: Top length approx. 26cm, width approx. 12.0cm, height approx. 6cm. *This is a ready-made item and can be shipped immediately.
