[Ai-Ai] Japanese-made Geta Sandals, Lightweight Sole, Large Size, Black Straps, Tatami Fabric, Stylish and Cool Look, Perfect for Festivals and Events

Lightweight soles are the most common and traditional type of sandal worn at festivals.

Lightweight soles look almost identical to leather soles, so they don't look cheap. They're ideal for those who prioritize appearance over comfort. Their affordability and ease of maintenance are also reasons for their popularity.

However, lightweight soles offer very little cushioning, making them tiring to wear for extended periods, so they're not recommended for everyday use. That said, the ease of movement offered by thin lightweight soles is unparalleled.

New sandals have stiff, painful thongs. Some people exchange them for a size larger because they're too tight. (Even with a size larger, new thongs are still tight.) However, softening the thong by flattening it and then working it out will make them much more comfortable.

Slightly extending your heel beyond the edge of the sandal is considered a stylish and fashionable way to wear them. Therefore, it's best to choose a slightly smaller size. If you choose a smaller size, your little toe will stick out of the sandal, but that's how it's supposed to look. Unlike sandals, the thong of a geta is attached to the middle of the sandal, so your little toe will inevitably stick out.
