Marugo Mannen Japanese Tabi Shoes Black/Navy/White with 12 Clips

Let me preface this by saying that I bought these jikatabi for work as an esthetician. I need shoes that are comfortable, very flat, and very versatile. These shoes are all three of those. I wear a US standard 8.5, not wide, but my calves are pretty bulky.TOES: Not too far apart, the separation is very natural and the toe box is the perfect size for me personally. My other 4 toes could be a 1/4 inch longer and still fit comfortably in these. The sole does not curve around the edge of the toes like other brands do, which looks much cleaner and more sleek.UPPER: Very versatile hook closure and can fit snug or loose. It took me a few tries to get the perfect fit on the fabric loops, and some practice to hook them quickly. A+ for size allowance.INSOLE: The insoles are flat, which is okay for me. Sole inserts will fit perfectly in these and not constrict my feet.OUTER SOLE: Very grippy, but VERY squeaky. For a quick fix I recommend using a bar of cheap soap, dry, and rubbing it along the entire bottom of the sole, including the outer edges (no, you will not lose traction or slip. I've been doing this for years, especially on Doc Martens soles). After that, these bad boys are literally ninja silent.FABRIC: Thick and sturdy, nice soft lining isn't itchy. I will be using a waterproofing/weatherproofing spray to prevent staining and protect them from the elements or any chemicals/products I work with.Overall, excellent shoe.

Got these for my husband and he loves them! They are actually really nice quality. True to size as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for this style of footwear.

These shoes have worked out great! They are my daily shoes. The metal clasps that fasten the boot didn't take long to get used to. The soles seem durable. I am very happy with them. I added an insole to them, and this made them a bit tight but, after a week or so they have worn in comfortably and I don't feel I have lost much if any dexterity.

I recently got a pair of Men's Tabi Ninja shoes and I gotta say, these shoes are the real deal. They're worth every penny! I mainly use them for the gym, and they have been amazing for my deadlifts and squats. I feel so much more grounded and stable during my lifts.What I love about these shoes is how comfortable they are. I can wear them all day without feeling any discomfort. The design is also really cool and unique, which is a nice bonus.If you're looking to upgrade your gym shoes, I highly recommend giving these a try. They are perfect for anyone who wants to take their lifting game to the next level. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Super functional and nice-looking

Toe box fits comfortably the width is just right. Arch support I mean it is a flat foot so it's fine. Very comfortable for training. I thought the tabs were going to be a problem for me based off of other people's opinions of their experience with the tabs. However, after a couple of times of putting them on, it's becoming just as easy as tying a shoe for me. Love them would like to get tabs sneakers or a more stonger sole for real outdoor use.

Very comfortable and stylish. Very durable and looks amazing. It lasts a long time without wearing down. Great for everyday use. I love it

I used these for a few cosplays and while they will have your feet aching after a while because there is no arch support whatsoever, they’re great! You can also manage to wear socks with them although it might make your toes feel a little squished. If you have thicker calves, buttoning the shoes might be a little annoying, but it’s not super hard to do — if a bit time consuming. They’re super breathable and lightweight but be VERY CAREFUL about any slippery surfaces as the grip on the bottoms aren’t the best so you WILL slide. Walking around in any weather is fine though and they stay warm or cool depending on need.
