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? ;) )

Hi everyone!

Just came across this forum and thought I'd drop a note.

I have been a fan of stilted and platformed wooden sandals for many, many years. Of course this includes geta, especially the higher types like bankara, ippon-ba and koma geta, but also other types of wooden sandals. Obtaining a pair is almost impossible here in The Netherlands. Therefore I started making my own platform wooden sandals. It is really not that hard at all! Not being restricted by any fashion rules I could make them as high and outrageous as I wanted. So far I have made about 7 wearable pairs. They are not the geta-kind, since I haven't found the right material to make the V-shaped straps. In stead, they have a single strap over the toes. The pair I mostly wear in my leasure time is 15 cm high over the whole length, black laquered with a thick cotton orange-coloured strap. Believe it or not but they are really quite comfortable. I can walk in them all day long (with bare feet or socks). I can even drive a car in them!

cheers
