mizutori original《hitete 6.5》
The "hitete" series is popular for being easy to walk in and making your feet look beautiful.
With a heel height of approximately 6.5cm, it's our most popular series, even for those who don't usually wear heels, offering a comfortable fit that doesn't feel like a high heel, and a silhouette that's easy to match with Western clothes, like sandals.
Especially the toe area is shaped to make it easy to grip the thong.
Point 2: Toe post
Contains cushioning material for a soft feel against the foot. Designed to prevent thong friction.
Point 3: Thong structure
Contains cushioning material for a soft feel against the foot. Its wide width firmly envelops the foot. It is designed to fit the average Japanese foot shape.
Point 4: Shape of the wooden base (arch)
The arch shape in the instep provides a comfortable fit.
Point 5: Wooden base material
Excellent durability with rich wood grain expression that develops character with every step. Made with mahogany and sapele.
Point 6: Outsole (sole)
Made of synthetic rubber. Can be easily repaired at your local shoe repair shop. We recommend frequent replacement before the wood wears down.
*It is recommended to gradually break them in at first to allow them to conform to your feet and become easier to wear.

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.
