These Mizutori collaboration geta were created with "Bingata Kobo Moribingata," which expresses a vibrant world as if capturing the pleasant breezes and dazzling sunlight of Okinawa.
Spread vibrantly across the thongs is the awakening scene of a shikwasa field, where the morning light gently shines and the sweet scent of white flowers fills the air. It depicts a beautiful world that captures the refreshing morning atmosphere of Okinawa itself.
If you look closely at the fresh shikwasa fruits and leaves, you might sometimes spot creatures that subtly evoke Okinawa's rich nature, such as Okinawa rails and goats.
The colors unique to Bingata and the modern design will bring you an exciting summer moment, as if you're walking with art on your feet!
【What is Bingata?】
Bingata is a traditional dyeing technique with approximately 500 years of history, reflecting Okinawa's rich nature and climate.
*The surface of these thongs uses a fabric that reproduces the sparkling shikwasa pattern designed by "Bingata Kobo Moribingata" using textile printing technology.

With a heel height of approximately 6.5cm, it's our most popular series, offering comfort that makes you forget about the heel height, even if you're not used to heels, and a sandal-like silhouette that easily pairs with clothing.
The shape of the toe area, in particular, makes it easy to grip the thong.

This is a guide on how to care for geta and sandals.
1. Caring for the Wooden Base and Top Plate
Wiping:
Wipe away dirt with a soft cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water.
Detergent:
In some cases, you may wipe the surface with a diluted neutral detergent.
2. Care for the Strap
Cleaning Method:
Remove dirt with a soft brush (like a toothbrush), then wipe with a soft cloth lightly dampened with lukewarm water.
Note:
Depending on the fabric, dye may bleed, so please test on an inconspicuous area first.
Please note that soaking the strap in water will cause it to harden.
Prevention:
We recommend lightly applying a waterproof spray before use. When doing so, be careful not to spray the wooden base.
3. Rubber Sole Maintenance
When to Replace:
To prolong the life of your geta, we recommend replacing the rubber soles frequently before the wooden base wears down.
Repairs:
You can have them replaced at a local shoe repair shop. If the wear extends past the rubber and reaches the wooden base, please consult the retailer.
4. Repairing Chipped Paint
For Black:
You can touch up the area with black nail polish or a black marker to make it less noticeable.
For Dark Brown:
You can touch up the area with a wood-staining pen. Please choose a color similar to the base.
Other:
Please contact us if the chipped area is large.
5. Care for Genuine Leather Uppers
Follow the same care instructions as for general leather shoes.
Removing Dirt:
Remove dirt with a soft brush (like a toothbrush), then wipe with a soft cloth dampened with shoe cleaner.
Moisturizing and Polishing:
Apply shoe cream to a soft cloth, work it in, then brush and polish to finish.
Note:
Please be aware that discoloration may occur depending on the color of the genuine leather and the cream.
