Snow Untrod: How to Choose and Care for Setta (Japanese Sandals) Sandals

Tips for Choosing the Right Size

The stylish way to wear setta is to have your heels hang off the back slightly!
It is said that the chic way to wear them is to hook the thong (hanao) with your toes.

Since the thong is centered, your little toes may stick out, but this is also a unique characteristic of wearing setta.
Of course, if you prefer, choosing a size where your heels don't hang off for appearance or peace of mind is also perfectly fine, just like wearing sandals!

About the Hanao (Thong)

The standard height for the thong attachment (satsubo) is 14mm, with 9mm being tighter and 16mm being looser.

Size Details

size details

Example 1: Wearing it

Usual shoe size: 27.0–28.0

When wearing size L

I usually wear a size 2L, but when I tried them on, the size L felt more comfortable.
In the photo, my heel was sticking out a little, but it didn't feel awkward at all when walking.
You can let your heel hang off slightly and slide them on for a stylish look.

When wearing size 2L

It's the perfect size, just as it looked in the photos.
With a sole that extends all the way to the heel, they feel secure and comfortable to wear.

Example 2

Usual shoe size: 25.5–26.5

When wearing size L

Even if your heel looks like it's sticking out a bit, the fit is just right.
I think it's a good fit if you wear them by hooking your toes through the strap.

When wearing size 2L

If you're choosing by size, neither L nor 2L feels like a problem.
L is a just-right fit, while 2L offers a more secure feel when worn.
I prefer the look where the sole extends all the way to the heel, so I'll choose the 2L size for that sense of security.

Example 3

Usual shoe size: 23.5–24.5

When wearing size S

Although it looked like my heels were hanging off a bit in the photos, I didn't notice it at all when I actually wore them.
With the size S, perhaps because the center of gravity shifts forward, I felt I could stand straight and walk more easily.
It seems that wearing them with your heels slightly hanging off is the stylish way to wear setta sandals.

When wearing size M

It's the perfect size, just as it appeared in the photos.
Since the base extends all the way to the heel, it feels very secure and comfortable to wear.
If you prefer a snug fit, I recommend the size M.

Example of Use 4

Usual shoe size: 22.0–23.0

When wearing size S

If you're choosing by size, you won't mind either S or M.
S is a true-to-size fit, while M offers a more secure feel.
If you prefer to have your heel fully covered, size M is also a great option!

When wearing size M

I have wide feet, so I choose size M.
If you want a snug fit all the way to the heel or have wider feet, size M is recommended!

Care

If it becomes dirty, please use a cloth dampened with water or lukewarm water, wrung out thoroughly, and gently dab the soiled areas.

Although the sole is attached with a strong adhesive, please do not submerge it in water under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause the sole to peel off.

Please check the size chart and choose the size that fits you.
If you are concerned about the tightness of the thong (strap), please select the "loosen thong" option.
Please be aware that you may slip depending on the ground surface conditions, such as oily surfaces or wet asphalt.
Due to the nature of some materials, long-term storage may cause deterioration and damage regardless of the frequency of use.
If you experience itching, rash, or other skin irritation due to perspiration or other factors, please stop using the product immediately.
Due to the nature of the product, please avoid use near water such as at the beach or pool. Also, try to avoid wearing them in rainy weather.
Please note that colors may fade due to friction or when the product is damp from sweat or rain.
Placing the product near fire may cause it to soften or deform.
When drying, please air dry in the shade.
