Traditional Zooris - Rice Straw

Traditional Zooris - Straw

This pair of traditional Zooris is made of rice straw, has a notched sole and a soft, comfortable strap to hold the foot.
This style, unlike the cross straps, is more traditional. The "zoris" or "setta" are an evolution of the wooden models called "Geta".
The "setta" are considered more formal, more elegant and more comfortable sandals, with a thinner sole made of softer straw and more elaborate straps. They are the "zoris" of the great occasions, to summarize.

This pair of traditional sandals is used for martial arts practice to make the trips between the locker rooms and the tatami.
However, these shoes can also be used for everyday use.

Traditionally, zooris are worn on tabi, called "yukatas".
