[Ai-Ai] Japanese-made Geta Sandals, Lightweight Sole, Black Straps, Tatami, Stylish and Cool Look, Perfect for Festivals and Events (M)

Description

The soles of the light-soled sandals have metal fittings that make a clicking sound when you walk. Please be careful, as these fittings can easily come off if you walk on gravel or drag your feet when first wearing them. After wearing them two or three times, they will firmly grip your heel and become less likely to come off. If they do come off, you can reattach them with adhesive or glue.

Light-soled sandals are the most common and traditional type of sandal worn at festivals.

Light-soled sandals look almost identical to those with cowhide soles, so they don't look cheap. They are ideal for those who prioritize appearance over comfort. Their affordability and ease of maintenance are also reasons for their popularity.

Light-soled sandals offer very little cushioning, making them tiring to wear for extended periods, so they are not recommended for everyday use. However, the ease of movement offered by thin-soled sandals is unparalleled.

New sandals have stiff thongs, which can be painful and uncomfortable. Some people exchange them for a larger size due to the tightness. (Even if you exchange them for a size up, the new thongs will still be tight.) However, if you flatten the thongs to soften the core pattern and then knead the thongs to soften them, they will become much more comfortable to wear.

The stylish and cool way to wear them is to let your heels stick out slightly from the sandals. Therefore, it's best to choose a slightly smaller size. If you choose a smaller size, your little toe will stick out from the sandal, but that's the correct way to wear them. Unlike sandals, the thongs of sandals are attached to the middle of the sandal, so your little toe will inevitably stick out.
