Construction workers and Carpenters wear them here in Japan it allows them to climb scaffolding and do other assorted jobs better. They also fit in well with the wide crazy tapered pants that construction workers wear- they are way more high quality than the cosplay versions, but actually a similar price point. Also ankles are wide because you tuck your pants into them. The ones that you used in the vid are just for halloween or relaxing and are not a real representation of a modern everyday utility tabi that is commonly used today . I could send you a pair of real ones if you are ever interested.

Very baggy and loose around the belt to the knees kind of like mc hammer pants but tight around the ankle and calf. When you wear them its kind of like wearing air pumps on your legs to help keep you cool and dry as you move.

I did Yoshin Ryu Taijutsu back in the 90s. We wore tabi as part of the training uniform specifically because of the number of foot and leg techniques in that style. It also protected the feet (somewhat) from injury. I modified mine with a elastic side panel and zips to make them more comfortable and to fit my large calves.

Marugo is a real rubber company that makes a lot of different styles of jikatabi. Also Rikio is another rubber company that makes jikatabi. The whole purpose of the jikatabi was to create demand for rubber by creating the rubber soles. The shoe is relatively cheap and my pair from a few years ago has held up pretty well.

Mugaros (the ones in this video) are literally one of the biggest brands for tabis in Japan. The ones in the video are not some halloween costume like he suggested- they're all pretty much like thaat. They're built that way because they're meant to be lightweight and flexible. Are you going to call adidas prime knit halloween shoes because the material is also easy to damage? They're meant to be cheap shoes that you replace once you wear them out, and because of how thin the soles are, it will not last longer than the upper.

I was wearing tabi at my part-time construction job when I was a student in Tokyo. As I remember, they were quite cheap (way less than $45, but don't remember the exact prices) and were sold at stores for construction workers and such. I was typically carrying two pairs in my backpack: an ordinary fabric-top pair for dry weather, and a rubber pair for rainy days or for when the construction place was wet. Here comes their first good point: they take almost no space in your backpack, I can hardly imagine routinely carrying two pairs of ordinary construction shoes/boots. Another good point was that they would fit your foot quite tightly, yet without causing any discomfort, you could comfortably put your foot in places you wouldn't dare trying in your ordinary shoes. And, because of their thin rubber soles, you would feel quite well the surface you're standing on. I often had to walk or climb around rebar structures, so that was quite convenient. Finally, I was using so-called "safe tabi", e. g. with hard toe parts, so you wouldn't break your toes by accidentally kicking something heavy. With ordinary shoes, it was rather difficult to find your exact size, you'd always end up with shoes that are either slightly bigger or slightly smaller. The slightly smaller shoes would have _normally_ been okay, except for the hardened toe parts: they would, of course, never stretch and adjust, not even slightly, and after a few hours would start inflicting quite severe pain. The slightly bigger shoes would give you blisters, because your foot would slide inside them, no matter how tight you tie the shoelaces. With tabi, however, I would buy that slightly bigger size and be okay with that, because that additional thing that separates your big toe also stop them from sliding, and so do the very tight fabric top and the "bootleg". Their main bad point was that their thin soles were quite weak, I would occasionally slightly impale my foot on some sharp wire or nail, and a couple of times even no so slightly (tabi were actually banned on some construction sites, perhaps for that very reason). Also, they are not very convenient for simply walking around the city - again, their very thin soles, and the in-between-the-toes part sort of bites in between the, well, toes. Although, not all the locals shared my opinion about that - I once saw a Japanese man descending Mt. Fuji wearing tabi.

These were popular when I was a student in London in the early '80s.They were great - really cheap and very comfortable. Looking back, I don't know why I stopped wearing them. I guess it's high time to check them out again.

Now I know why no one wears them: people are stupid and shallow and less interest in facility than celebrity and imagined image. Ugh. . . . idiots.. . . . . 500yrs solid use proven?? 500?????? . . . . I'm getting a pair to walk and work in my garden and the rubber boots look like the bomb to me.

The spilt-toe style is definitely an Eastern Worldview shoe. Interesting. I never knew these were actually widely used.

Sincerely sorry to say that but at 1:12 that second stich looks nasty mate ! How do you prevent your low-thickness leather from bending when saddle stitching ? I have found that saddle stitching two pieces of leather under 0.8mm or so feels unreliable

I find them ugly personally, and don't think they're practical or safe in heavy duty work because you have a critical, and delicate appendage which can be caught and sprained or broken easily, where a 'western' boot encapsulates the whole foot and prevents forces from acting directly on individual toes and the foot itself. Steel caps will also be more sturdy if they encapsulate all toes together versus just one, and the rest.

Tabi are great, you can make the master ninja gear, get a dash thats longer than the shield, which ALSO doesnt push you back should you collide with an enemy. getting one though is always a challenge. that dungeon likes swarming you....

Not pronnounced that way! Taw-bee. Not. tab-ee. It separates this way: ta-bi. But 'a' is always 'ah'.

One way to make them look good is to complete the rest of the outfit, along with the weapons. Then you’d look totally Ninja!

When I traveled to Japan, I noticed that the individuals pushing rickshaws at tourist spots were all wearing this type of footwear. Out of curiosity, I bought a pair of these shoes and matching socks in Nara. I found them very comfortable to wear, especially for walking around.

I went to Japan and bought two pairs. Not sure if it's my "western" feet, but they did not fit well at all and were impossible to wear comfortably. Had a similare problem with bowling shoes there...different "lasts" - proportions are off for me.

To hear "tabby" so many times in one video really hurt my head... Lol It's ta:.bi, where the "a" is pronounced the same way it is pronounced in the word "father".

Thank you for actually providing an example of what pronunciation is correct. The other "it's tabi not tabby" are terribly unhelpful because it doesn't say what is supposed to be different.
