News shoes
Back in 2005 I had bought myself some tabi (足袋) - you know the Japanese “ninja” style shoes. They truly have nothing to do with ninja, in fact a nice jikka tabi (地下足袋) is more know for construction worker or farmers, sturdy and flexible enough to let your feet do what they/you want (depending on your dyslexia).
So yes, I ended with a some long garden tabi that I never really wear as to be honest even if it gives great walking sensation, it is quite time consuming to wear them on and off. Fastening the tabi takes me a bit. Maybe it is just because I did not (yet) understand how to use the patented Japanese style laces.
But the other day, when browsing for some Japanese books I found a brand that also work with Le Coq Sportif: Sou Sou. I was surprise to see tabi cooked with all different kind of sauce: slippers, socks, boots,snickers…
I guess I have found something I’d like to wear better than my long tabi. Just some tabi kutsu (tabi shoes – たびぐつ) would be fine and stylish…

Jikka tabi ou tabi kutsu va très bien aux élégants français !!!
Ils sont aussi bons pour la santé de pieds que la défense de l’eczéma.(^_^)(^_^)(^_^)
