FAQs
Do I need special socks for these shoes?
Yes, standard socks will not fit. You should use Tabi-style socks which feature a split between the big toe and other toes.
Are these true to size?
The Tabi shoes generally fit true to size, but the unique shape may feel different than a standard rounded-toe shoe.
How should I store the Tabi ballerinas?
Store them in a cool, dry place in a dust bag, ensuring the leather is not folded or compressed.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Leather is susceptible to water damage, so it is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
What is the primary material used?
These shoes are crafted from high-quality leather, which provides a balance of structure and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort between the toes
This is normal for new Tabi wearers. Try wearing the shoes for short periods around the house to allow your feet to adjust to the split-toe structure.
Leather showing minor scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or cream that matches the grey finish to gently buff out minor surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Tabi shoes feature a unique split-toe, you may need to source specialized Tabi-style socks if you prefer wearing hosiery. To keep your leather ballerinas in top condition, clean them gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. Avoid exposing the leather to excessive moisture or heat sources, which can cause the material to stiffen or crack. We recommend storing them in a dust bag to maintain the shape of the bow and protect the grey finish from scuffs. If the leather becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
