Synthetic mixed Tabi is less quality ?

Our second recommendable Tabi,  "NOBIRU" is sythetic mixed.

Its details are :

Body (Covered fabric ) Cotton 70%, Synthetic 30% (This synthetic fibres are only used for arch of foot.
Liner of this Tabi : Cotton 98% and 2% Synthetic fibre.
Sole :Cotton 100%

So, we can recommend this Tabi;
1. Possibly fit your feet by stretchable body fabric
2. Cotton 100% sole will protect your feet by a tiny hangnails of wooden floor


The thynthetic fibre of NOBIRU is the developed cotton ESPA (registered) by Toyobo, who is one of Japanese best fabric manufacturers.

How to choose Tabi?

Pure white cotton Kimono tabi is one of the necessaries for Kimono.

We line up variety of Kimono Tabi. How can we select the best one for you?

We have to admit that it is really difficult to find perfect one, because all of our feet are unique even we wear same size shoes.

But we hope today's post would be any help for you to choice your best one.

First of all, the size. We firstly recommend you the same size of your shoe size. Even this choice you might feel bit too tight at the first few times.

(Have you checked how to make your new Tabi comfortable? : HERE!)

When you are used to Tabi, try one size down.

Traditionally, a bit tight Tabi looks very cool.

Secondary, the material.

Synthetic materials are bit difficult. Most of our Tabi are cotton 100%, but some of them are mixed of synthetic fibres. However, we can say this is not "bad". For outside use, synthetic mixed might be good as they are better duster resist than cotton 100%.

However, you will wear them on Shosadai, Itajiki , wooden floor, we strongly recommend you 100% cotton sole one. 

Our best recommendation (were Mai, Yuki and Hana before, but they are going to be discontinued. So, ) are now 

1. TOMI (Cotton 100%) and reasonable price and have widest range of size

2. NOBIRU ( Synthetics mixed but this is really high quality and have a good reason of synthetic mixed.)

  

For martial use,  we recommend BUDO tabi , leather sole Tabi too.

Next time, let us explain regarding NOBIRU Tabi. We are afraid this Tabi is misunderstood, as it is synthetic mixed.

Tabi - Make your Tabi more comfortable-

Hi! This is Natsu!
(And there will be many wrinkles on Tabi.)
I would like to lessen them.


I would like to show you how I make my Tabi more comfortable for myself.
When I open new Tabi, I will form the Tabi for myself as follows.


1. When I open new Tabi,

2. wearing them, feel slightly tight.

3. Wearing them and soak your tabi (as wearing Tabi)




4. Remaining their shape, take off your Tabi.




5. Dry the Tabi remaining their shape.
