I love my standard ones, but Amercians don't seem to care for the noise they make, so I am considering getting a few pair of komachi geta with the synthetic sole plates. I know they are designed for bette traction, but I am thinking they will muffle my steps a little bit.
Anyone know of a source for tabi socks that go up over the calf like knee-highs?

I do get quite a few weird glances myself! I get asked, "How do you walk in those!?" My answer is generally, "Quite easily!" I don't know where to procure the high ankle tabi.
You could always go to Ichiroya.com and ask them if they might be able to find you a pair or two.
( oh hey. . . aren't you familiar?
