Cushioned Setta with Classic Hemp Pattern (H729)
Description
These beautiful, classic woven setta have a traditional look and touch. The light, comfortable and breathing sole make them to be ideal summer footwear, with a Japanese touch. The sole is made of lightweight synthetic rubber, so it is a popular product as a stylish everyday shoe due to its comfort and durability. Handmade in Nara prefecture, the setta have a 'hanao' thong with Hemp leaves; a traditional and authentic Japanese pattern that will make you stand out from the crowd.
Sizes
● Traditionally, setta are worn with your heel slightly sticking out (left)
● Now-a-days people often choose to wearn them as Western footwear (right).
● A size smaller than your actual foot size is recommended for the traditional style.
● Bigger sizes should be avoided when you are not used to wearing setta - your toes are supporting the weight of the sole and a larger setta would mean more burden on your toes, making it harder to walk. If you do choose a larger model, avoid leather and go for a light-weight material.
IMPORTANT: The setta are handmade and use delicate materials. The bottom of setta with leather may show "uneven color, stains", "rubbing marks and scratches", "small irregularities", etc. due to rubbing in the manufacturing process, but please note that it is not defective. For cotton thongs, the inner cotton may show.
Avoid your setta getting soaked or walking in heavy rain.
