These tabi shoes are so comfortable and very hard wearing. They look great with jeans or white trousers. I have had these type of shoes for years and they really do last.

Tabi Rela a Good Compromise between East and West Our Taiko group (based in Canada) has resisted wearing traditional Tabi, but are finding that the Tabi Rela are a good compromise because they look like tabi but have the convenience of western-style slip-on shoes. The online conversion table between Japanese to North American shoe sizes was very helpful and fit has generally been good, the exception being that half sizes were not available when we ordered so we went down to the closest whole number and we should have gone up.
