Tabi on the floor

These are my new favorite vegan shoes.

tabi toes

They’re outdoor tabi. They’re made of cotton, and they have a thin rubber sole. They split between the big toe and the other four toes. They have virtually no support, which some people like, including me. I think it makes your foot work harder and develop muscles. When I wear them, I feel the ground I’m walking on.

They fasten with hooks and four rows of loops. You connect with the row of loops that fits you best at each hook, up to your mid calf.

I like to wear them under jeans, and I like to wear them with a black dress.
