Aiai Japanese-made Geta Sandals with Light Soles, Large, Black Straps, and Tatami Fabric. Stylish and Cool for Festivals and Events (Black, Large).

Light-soled geta are the most popular and traditional type of geta worn at festivals. Light-soled geta look almost identical to cowhide soles, so they don't look cheap. They're perfect for those who prioritize appearance over comfort. They're also affordable and easy to care for, making them a popular choice. Light-soled geta have little to no cushioning, so they can be tiring to wear for long periods of time, making them unrecommended for everyday use. However, the thin, light-soled geta are by far the most comfortable to move in. The thongs on new geta are stiff, painful, and difficult to wear. Because they're too tight, some people choose to buy a larger setta. (Even after changing to a larger size, the new thongs are still too tight.) However, if you crush the thong to soften the core pattern, and then squeeze the thong to soften it, they'll be much easier to wear. Leaving your heel slightly exposed is a stylish and cool way to wear them. Therefore, it is best to choose a slightly smaller size. If you choose a smaller size, your little toe will stick out from the geta, but that is the correct way to wear them. Unlike sandals, the thong of a geta is attached in the middle, so your little toe will inevitably stick out from the geta.
