Handling of TABI SHOES

▼WORNING

●Color transfer
Colors may run if wet when it rains or if you sweat with tabi socks. It will be easier for color to run with light colored cloth so please be careful.

●Be careful on slick surfaces
Be careful when wearing if you walk on a surface that is wet, iced or oily

●If you find something wrong
If you experience itchiness or rash on your skin, please stop wearing immediately.

●Nature of rubber
Because synthetic rubber is used for the sole of the tabi, a white powder residue may appear on the ground or other materials.
