Purchased about 7 or 8 years ago. The heels and toes of the soles are worn. Made of paulownia wood, so they are very light. The crepe fabric thongs are cute. There is a sense of use. When my children were small, I had them wear geta and zori regularly. It was very good because their toes would spread out and they could walk firmly, putting strength into each toe. They can still be worn for everyday use. Zori Geta
