Room Shoe Sizing Tips: These Japanese-style room shoes are designed for maximum comfort and are very forgiving when it comes to sizing, but it is important that the user's foot is not larger than the footbed. Please use the sizing chart above to inform product selections and customer decisions. Note that, in addition to the US sizing equivalents outlined here, foot measurements can be taken in centimeters and compared to the Japanese sizes, which are also measured in centimeters If a person falls between sizes, they may want to round up, and if they have particularly wide feet, they should also consider moving up a size.
Slippers, a standard item for years
Feet sweat and get hot. The soles of our feet have as many as 300 sweat glands per square centimeter, and at times, both feet produce 200 ml of sweat per day. Bacteria on the surface of the skin becomes active due to the moisture in the sweat, and feed on the wax and grease of the skin, increasing rapidly and producing an odor. This is where SASAWASHI slippers come into play. SASAWASHI, with its excellent sweat and moisture absorption properties, quickly removes dampness and has an antibacterial and deodorizing effect. Please try Sasa Washi slippers and feel the difference.
Room Shoes
The charm of these shoes is that they can be used comfortably all year round. In summer, you can wear them barefoot to feel dry and comfortable, and in winter, you can wear them with socks to keep from getting cold. The back of the slipper is made of two pieces of SASAWASHI laminated together. The back part of the slipper is made of two pieces of SASAWASHI, so the extra insulation shuts out the cold. These slippers are light and soft to wear, and are highly recommended for relaxing at home.
