These are men's 27.5cm tabi socks. They shrunk a little after washing and became a bit tight (cotton tabi socks shrink little by little with each use), so I think they would be suitable for someone who wears a 27cm. There is some slight wear on the soles, but it's not noticeable. They are good quality, 100% cotton tabi socks from Otafuku, made in Japan, so I believe you can use them for a long time (*^^*) Kimono, Japanese clothing, wedding ceremonies, pre-wedding photos, post-wedding photos, graduation ceremonies, coming-of-age ceremonies, tea ceremony, archery, shamisen, koto, koto music, Japanese dance, dancing, kimono dressing
