[edit]Jika-tabi
[edit]The Japanese jika-tabi are a kind of heavy-duty tabi socks with a rubber sole. Can somebody explain how the Japanese wear them? Do they wear a tabi inside or are they worn over the bare foot? The tabi I have seen seem to have a cushioned sole. How do they clean them? Do they go into the washer like socks or do they use a wet cloth as for athletic shoes? --Error (talk) 22:49, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
