Geta Japanese Shoes: The Must-Have Accessory for Manga and Harajuku Fashion Enthusiasts

Elevate your wardrobe with a pair of Japanese wooden flip-flops. These unique shoes feature wooden soles and thick fabric straps adorned with Japanese patterns. The sole of the Geta Japanese Shoe is supported by two “teeth” to give you height while preventing the bottom of your clothes (kimono, yukata, hakama pants, or jeans) from getting dirty.

• Design: Traditional Japanese footwear
• Wooden sandals for women and men
• Platform height approximately 5 cm
• Adjustable Hanao strap to customize and tighten the wooden Geta sandal. Made from soft cotton
• Sandals carved from raw wood, both lightweight and sturdy
• Non-slip rubber coating for optimal grip

Check out the tutorial below to learn how to wear these shoes with style. We recommend getting one to two sizes above your regular size for a perfect fit.

Geta Sandals: A Symbol of Japanese Culture

Geta wooden sandals are one of the icons of the Land of the Rising Sun. Worn in Japan for centuries, these Japanese shoes are still highly appreciated in Japanese pop culture. If you’re a fan of manga and Japanese animated films, you’ve probably seen them in Naruto or Samurai Champloo.

• Size: Available sizes range from 35 to 46 (subject to availability)

• They can be worn by both women and men

• The “dai”: The body of the sandals is made of wood, and the “ha” refers to the teeth or, at least, the platform of the geta. In this case, there are two teeth/platforms

• The “hanao”: The strap used to wear the geta is made of fabric

Here are some fashion tips for wearing these traditional Japanese geta sandals…

💯 For an authentic samurai style, we recommend wearing these wooden geta sandals with traditional Japanese clothing such as a haori jacket, a hanten coat, tabi socks, and of course, a Japanese kimono.

💯 If you want a fashionable and modern style worthy of Tokyo’s Harajuku fashion district, we suggest matching the color of the straps (hanao) with the color or patterns of a hoodie, oversized Japanese t-shirt, or sukajan bomber jacket.
