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...
