Japanese-leather-soled-sandals: 雪駄 (Setta) Japanese-Wooden-Sandals:下駄(Geta)


Leather soled sandals (Setta), giving a waterproof skin stuck to the back of bamboo sandals, leather protector on the heel of the bottom.
Some people say that this fine sandal was proposed by Sen no Rikyu, an ancient Tea-Master, for walking on the alley with water hit or snow to prevent from slipping.
In modern times, Setta is a common footwear when man weareing Kimono.

Photo: These are "must" item when where Setta/Gata during cold seasons. Normally these
are in Pure White or Black, but I think loud primary color can be very "Wild" if you can manage cool taylored "Modern Kimono"
