Takeharu Inden Yellow Chiba Men's Geta Sandals, LL

These yellow Chiba geta sandals are made with great care by Japanese craftsmen, down to the smallest detail. They are made from synthetic leather with a yellow Chiba embossing, so they are water-resistant and can be easily cleaned with a cloth if they get dirty, making them perfect for everyday use. The amber sole makes them durable and non-slip! The sole is made of hardened rubber, which means less wear on the heel and longer life than shoes made of sponge rubber alone. They're also ideal for slippery surfaces like tiles. The sole is made of sponge (EVA) material, so it's not too hard and feels like a sandal. They are widely loved and worn with yukata and at festivals, as everyday wear, as room slippers, for lessons, at inns and shops, and as gifts for Father's Day and Respect for the Aged Day. *You cannot choose the pattern of the thong for "Inden" or "Aizome" sandals. Please note that this will be left to our discretion. ■Size guide (suitable size) L size: (approx.) 25-26.5cm LL size: (approx.) 27-27.5cm Geta sandals are free size, so the sizes listed are only a guide. ■Brand: Takeharu ■ Country of origin: Japan ■Material: (Outer) Vinyl chloride ■Size (actual size) L size (standard): (approx.) 25cm x 10cm LL size (large): (approx.) 27cm long x 10.5cm wide *All measurements are taken manually, so please allow for slight variations. ■Size guide (suitable size) L size: (approx.) 25-26.5cm LL size: (approx.) 27-27.5cm Geta sandals are one size fits all, so the sizes listed are just a guide. [Tips for choosing size] When you first put them on, the thongs may be stiff and difficult to put on, so we recommend gently pulling on the back and front of the thong to loosen them. There is also a core inside the thong, so you can bend it between your fingers to make it easier to put on. The normal way to wear geta is with the heel slightly exposed. The ideal size is one where the heel is exposed enough so that it doesn't hurt when you wear it. [Tips for long-term use] Geta sandals do not have a left or right side, so they will last longer if you switch them over from time to time. [Caution] The outer surface is water-resistant, so you can use the shoes even in rainy weather, but please note that the sponge parts of the thong and sole are not water-repellent.
