Samurai sandals are traditionally important as well as they have scientific significance. The thong type structure provided pressure on the acupressure point which improves the functions of the body.
They also provide space and freedom of movement and the wooden sole provides comfort to the base of feet. The Samurai wore them for another purpose too as it assisted them with length to travel easily in snow and rain.
Geta comes in various styles and designs. Most of them consist of a wood called ‘Dai’ and then a fabric that is in shape of V attached at three corners and settled between the thumb and second toe, called ‘hanao’.
The teeth are also wooden pieces called ‘ha’, the teeth are the essential part as they provide the certain uniqueness to the sandals and a clacking sound known as the ‘Karankoron’.
