"To choose the right size of geta, ensure that your heel extends 0.5 to 1 in (1,3 to 2.6 cm) beyond the back of the sandal. This slight overhang provides a perfect fit, offering better balance and comfort while walking. The Hanao strap is adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal comfort. Make sure there is enough room for your toes to move freely, while the strap keeps your foot securely in place."
FAQ
How should geta sandals fit?
Geta should fit so that the heel slightly overhangs the back of the sandal. This allows for better balance and a natural walking motion.
Do you wear socks with geta?
Yes, it is common to wear tabi, traditional Japanese split-toe socks, with geta, especially during formal occasions or with traditional attire. However, it's not mandatory if you wear it with a Yukata.
Are geta good for your feet?
Geta can be beneficial for your feet as they promote good posture and natural foot movement. However, they may not provide the same level of support as modern footwear, so it's important to use them in moderation.
Is it hard to walk in geta?
Walking in geta can be challenging at first, but with practice, most people find it manageable. The key is to take shorter steps and maintain good posture.
What is the difference between geta and zori?
Geta sandals are made of wood with an elevated platform, ideal for summer festivals and often worn with yukata. Zori sandals are flat, made from straw, cloth, or synthetic materials, and are associated with formal kimonos for ceremonies.
