Jika-Tabi Sizes: Instructions and Conversions

Our jika-tabi come from Japanese makers and so naturally they use a Japanese shoe size, which is actually just the length of your foot in centimeters. Here is the best method to determine your Japanese shoe size:

• Put a ruler (that is longer than your foot) perpendicular against a wall.
• Stand up straight with your back against that same wall on top the ruler.
• Take a measurement at the front-most points of your foot.
• Multiply measurements in inches by 2.54 to find your length in centimeters
• That's your Japanese shoe size!

Some shoes you already own may have the Japanese shoe size written in them and that is a good double-check. Alternatively, you can consult the approximate size conversion table below. Because jika-tabi are form-fitting, correct sizing is crucial for maximum comfort.
