[Brand]: Takeharu. This product is the standard type of the Takeharu single-toothed geta series, "Balance Type (Women's) - Tooth Height 4cm - Long." It's the easiest to wear and balance in the series, making it suitable for women and seniors who have never played sports before. Once you get used to it, you can easily stop and stand, making it perfect for a wide range of uses, from housework to walking around the neighborhood.
[Production location and materials]: Made in Japan - Paulownia Geta. Paulownia wood is very light and has the ability to maintain a constant humidity level, so it feels cool in the summer and warm in the cold, as it does not lose body heat. You can train in the "TAKEHARU Ipponba Geta" in any season, spring, summer, fall, or winter. All TAKEHARU Ipponba Geta products are handcrafted and produced by specialized craftsmen at a contract factory in Shikoku. Please feel free to purchase.
[Applicable size (guideline) for ladies]: ■M: Approximately 22.5-23.5, ■L: Approximately 23.5-24, ■LL: Approximately 24-24.5cm, ■The thongs generally stretch a little, so a size that feels a little tight at first is just right.
[With or without ridges]: The ridged type has a bumpy (washboard-like) upper surface that stimulates the soles of your feet. Although this varies from person to person, if you feel that the stimulation is too strong, try wearing five-toe socks or purchasing the sister product, the ridgeless type.
[Toe Height and Center of Gravity]: The toe height of the main body is approximately 4cm, which is standard, making it easy to center your center of gravity. The single toe is designed to be centered on the base, allowing you to balance with the entire sole of your foot. This makes it the easiest to stand still and move around in the series. Once you get used to it, why not try the sister product, the "Balance Type (Women's) 8cm Toe Height - Long," to train your core balance? *"TAKEHARU Single Toe Geta" is a registered trademark of our company. Beware of imitations.
