These are geta (traditional Japanese wooden clogs) for children. They are very light, so even small children can walk in them without difficulty. The part that touches the feet is also soft, and my child didn't complain of foot pain. My child wore them only once, but they outgrew them the following year and could no longer wear them. Please note that there are scratches, scuffs, and pilling from use, as shown in photos 2-7.
