Tabi 足袋 (Traditional Japanese socks)

Description

足袋 (pronounced as “tabi”) is traditional Japanese socks with a unique split-toe design. These ankle-high socks are worn by both men and women. The split toe allows for better grip and flexibility when wearing traditional Japanese footwear like 下駄(geta) or 草履(zori). Tabi socks are commonly worn with traditional clothing such as 着物(kimono), 浴衣(yukata), and even with modern clothing for added comfort. They are available in various colors and patterns, and some tabi socks also feature rubber soles for increased traction. With their long history and cultural significance, tabi socks continue to be an integral part of Japanese fashion and tradition.
