Brand: Takeharu. This is the ultimate "athlete type" single-tooth geta in the Takeharu series. It offers the core training and balance training that professional and amateur athletes practice. It can also be used to correct posture and correct misalignment.
[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 sizes (guideline)]: ■M: 22.5-23.5, ■ML (24.0cm size): 23.5-24.5, ■L: approx. 24.5-26.5, ■LL: approx. 27-28cm ■The thongs generally stretch a little, so if they feel a little tight at first, the perfect size will be 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.
[Tooth Height and Center of Gravity]: The tooth height of the main body is approximately 4 cm, the most common size. This "Athlete Type" is designed to place the center of gravity closest to the toes in the series. It offers explosive power and the most powerful physical training, but please use it with caution until you get used to it. Alternatively, you can also choose the sports or training type of the "Ipponba Geta TAKEHARU" series. *"Ipponba Geta TAKEHARU" is a registered trademark of our company. Beware of imitations.
This design can be used by both men and women.
The thongs are made from Awa Shijira fish and come in refreshing colors.

[How to use]
When you first start wearing them, practice your balance by stepping left and right for a short period of time. As you get used to them, gradually increase the time you do this.
