This website and its contents were created by Aaron Bramson as a way to bring the joy of jika-tabi to people all over the world. I've been wearing the shoes consistently since I got my first pair during the summer of 1998. I have found them to be comfortable, durable, versatile and stylish - not to mention being good conversation starters.

Neither I nor this website has any affiliation with the company RIKIO, nor is any implied affiliation intended. I purchase the shoes from various suppliers in Japan and sell them through the mail via this website. Payments are accepted through PayPal or money order and shipping is done through the United States Postal Sevice.

This site was set up primarily as an information provider and online retail store. I also welcome inquiries into wholesale purchases for "brick and mortar" stores and other online venues who wish to stock jika-tabi. Jika-Tabi.com takes care of all the customs responsibilites and tasks requiring Japanese language proficiency to deliver bulk orders of the product directly to your store at low cost and in a timely fashion.
