MarugoTabi Boots Ninja Shoes Jikatabi (Outdoor tabi) MANNEN Nuitsuke (Sewn Rubber Outsole) 12 hock

Amazingly comfortable. The fasteners on the side of the Jikatabi are such a nice touch and really add to the overall support of the boots themselves. I have done a few tests and I noticed that even with running, my feet stayed pretty comfy tempered without getting too hot but has just enough insulation to keep the cold to at least a steady temperature. The soles on the bottom are rigid but also soft for flexibility without sacrificing grip. All-in-all the sizes are true to size and the overall design and feel are great. Definitely recommend.

I measured my foot with a sock on, and it measured 28cm. This shoe is almost skin tight, which is comfortable. It is 2 sizes smaller in US sizes than I normally order (I usually order size 12, this would be a size 10). There is no support whatsoever, it is a flat shoe, and that's what I was looking for. I'm surprised at how comfortable this is though and, it's perfect for the samurai costume I'm working on.

I have a similar boot, the "Jog" version, with more extensive sole and traction, glued only with no stitching. I wanted to get a version with a thinner stitched-on sole. And while I like them, the stitching quality is not the greatest. For the price they are OK (don't pay more than $50 for these), and we shall see how they hold. I predominantly plan to wear them indoors only, when practicing Iaido and Kobudo, especially during the cooler the season. But for the outdoor wear, I think the "Jog" version would be better. The sole is very substantial, seems to hold very well, and doesn't appear to easily start coming apart when wearing. The thinner stitched-on sole has somewhat flimsy threading. It could be that I am being a bit overly-critical.I will update the review if I discover anything worth mentioning.As other mentioned, to me it worked better getting a slightly smaller size for a more snug fit, but your mileage may vary.I just love how light and comfortable Marugo boots are, suitable to anyone, regardless of the interest in martial arts.

Small

The canvas make up of these jikatatabi is extremely sturdy and well made! I wore these two days straight in DC, having the equivalent steps of 10 miles each day! The rubber sole is very durable but I could see that my walking style made the adhesive at the toes a little unhappy. It’s not coming apart but I can see the sheen more than I did fresh out of the box.While the tabs have quite a few places to slot into, I couldn’t get them set too far above my ankle, even when putting them on right at the beginning of the day with no swelling. My calves are pretty thick it seems and they would not close all the way up to the shin as they should. Oh well! I had my jinbei pants to cover the lack of coverage from the boots and to keep the extra from flopping around during the day in them.Please please PLEASE P L E A S E get inserts for these boots if you have flat feet, low arches, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or general foot pain after being on your feet more than an hour. I wouldn’t have made it 10+ hours in these boots without it. There is absolutely no support.TLDR; great quality, well made, not good for thick calves, no support.

They fit perfectly and are very Comfortable

Bought these for my stepson to wear with a Hakama he desperately wanted, and they were a big hit! Fits great, looks good, and so far so good on durability.

I generally pick a size it’s a little bit large for me, but that’s not a good approach for these shoes. The latching system really requires a good fit, or they come out with some strain.Granted, I took these out hiking the first day I got them. I abused them pretty harshly and they stood up pretty well. My only complaints are that I picked the wrong size, and that the sole is a bit then. I’m picking up a set of insoles that I hope will fix that problem.Edit: Yes, the insoles made a HUGE difference! These are now my second favorite shoes, and I wear them all the time! At some point I will need to add another line of loops in order to make them fit perfectly, but so far I am very happy with them.

Size was just right, quality is very nice, product is exactly as described. Will buy again when these wear out.

If you are looking for jika tabi, you are gonna probably come across these or the Rikio Fighter, I have both, they are excellent, these have the advantage of having a little more room in the calf, also you can feel the separation of your big toe more with these, but either way you won't be disappointed they are both excellent, just make sure to get proper socks too!

Buen producto, talla justa, casi mejor pedir una más de la que calzas. Cómodos.
