Specifications

Traditional Japanese Tabi Design

Tabi are traditional Japanese footwear recognized by their distinctive split-toe design. Originally developed as practical footwear, tabi have become closely associated with Japanese culture, traditional clothing, martial arts, and various forms of physical work.

The split-toe construction allows for flexible movement while providing the distinctive fit and feel that makes Japanese tabi different from conventional work shoes. The Rikio Genba Daio combines this traditional design with modern cushioning, protection, and insulation for practical everyday use.

Designed for Outdoor Work

The Genba Daio is designed with outdoor workers in mind. Its heat-insulating aluminum-lined insole helps retain warmth, while the cushioned air sole provides additional comfort during extended periods of standing and walking.

The wide resin toe offers added protection, while the rubber bottom provides a practical sole for outdoor environments. With its 12 Kohaze closures, the shoe can be securely fitted around the foot and ankle.

Whether you're gardening, working in construction, or spending long hours outdoors, the Genba Daio offers a practical combination of traditional Japanese tabi design and modern work-shoe features.
