Care Instructions

<Storage precautions>

Store in a well-ventilated place with low temperature and humidity. Tabi will naturally deteriorate even during storage. Deterioration will be accelerated in places with high temperature and humidity.

Please do not store the product inside a car during the summer, in direct sunlight, or in any other location that may become hot. This may cause deformation or deterioration.

If you plan to store the item for a long period of time, remove any dirt or moisture before storing it. If it is exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time, the color of the outer fabric may change.

Due to the nature of synthetic rubber, white powder may appear on the surface of the sole of the tabi socks due to chemical reactions. Also, if the sole is left in direct sunlight for a long time or used for many years, the rubber may crack due to "ozone deterioration" (due to heat, humidity, mold, etc.) .

<Regular care>

Wipe off any dirt with a shoe brush or cloth before storing.

If the item is badly stained, hand wash it using a neutral or weak alkaline detergent (excluding those containing bleach) at the concentration indicated on the detergent label. Using bleach may cause discoloration or fading.

Rinse the detergent thoroughly, drain and wipe off excess water, reshape the shoes and dry them in a well-ventilated place in the shade. We recommend removing the insoles from the tabi and soaking them in water. When drying, remove them from the rack and dry them separately.
