Specifications

Comfortable Japanese Tabi Shoes

Tabi shoes are a distinctive style of Japanese footwear featuring a split-toe design. Traditionally associated with Japanese workwear, martial arts, festivals, and traditional clothing, tabi footwear provides a unique combination of flexibility and secure footing.

The Marugo Air Jog V updates this traditional concept with a modern cushioned sole and convenient Velcro closure.

Air Cushion for Extended Wear

The Air Jog V features a built-in air cushion in the heel, designed to provide additional cushioning during walking and extended periods of standing.

This makes the shoes particularly practical for Japanese festivals, where you may spend many hours walking or standing. The cushioning can also make them comfortable for workouts, outdoor activities, and everyday use.

Secure 12-Clip Velcro Closure

The 12-clip hook-and-loop closure allows the shoes to be adjusted securely around the foot while making them easy to put on and remove.

Combined with the flexible cotton upper and EVA/rubber sole, this design provides a practical balance of comfort, support, and ease of movement.

Perfect for Japanese Festivals & Traditional Clothing

The Marugo Air Jog V is especially popular for Japanese festivals (matsuri) and pairs naturally with traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono and samue.

The distinctive split-toe design also makes these shoes a popular choice for customers looking for unique Japanese footwear for martial arts, workouts, festivals, cultural events, or everyday wear.

Note: While the redesigned rubber sole provides improved slip resistance, these shoes are not certified safety footwear.
