How to put on TABI SHOES

1.Wear with Tabi Socks or Barefoot
Tabi socks are recommended to prevent moisture buildup and a proper fit.

 

2.Put your Feet into the Tabi Shoes
Insert your foot into the tabi until your toe is pressed firmly, yet comfortably, and your foot matches the sole.

 

3.Fastening the Kohaze Hook (a)
Sit in a chair with your foot across your leg at a 90 degree angle.

 

4.Fastening the Kohaze Hook (b)
Fasten the kohaze hooks one by one from the heel to the ankle. Loosen the ukeito threads and gently widen the kohaze hooks to make it easier to fasten them in place. You can adjust the thread position to better fit your ankle. Make sure the fit is snug--not too loose or tight--for comfortable walking.

 

5.Check the Fit
Stand up and walk around to test the fit of the tabi. If the kohaze feel too loose or tight, you can adjust the ukeito threads for a better fit. Once comfortable, secure the shoes to finish.
