Tabi Socks, Japanese Pattern, 24cm, Women's These are tabi socks from Gyoda, a Japanese Heritage site in Saitama. The appeal of Gyoda Tabi: The features of Gyoda tabi socks are breathability and a snug fit. While tabi socks might feel a little different to modern people accustomed to socks, the unique fit becomes more noticeable the longer you wear them. Only tried on once. Purchased in May of this year. I believe they are in beautiful condition, but please understand they have been stored at home.
