There are many kind of tabi (ninja shoes) but they look almost same, don't they? You may think why the price changes according to them and don't know what to choose. Sole design is important as well as the material and production method. Let's take a look 🥾🏃♀️ 🏃♂️❗️👀
1. Festival Tabi
It has a simple sole pattern with a lot of allow shape on the middle part and small dots and lines on the finger and heel part. Compared to slip-resistant tabi, it is thinner and lighter sole.

It has a cool and slip-resistant sole design with distinctive cross lines and zigzag patterns. As the air cushion appears on the sole, it has quality cushion function.
