TABI FOOTWEAR

Tabi Footwear makes split-toe shoes and sandals, built around the idea that the split between the big toe and the other toes should actually do something. The brand describes itself as function meeting fashion, taking Japanese tradition and giving it a modern Scandinavian design treatment. It says the split promotes balance and stability for natural movement, and the look is minimalist rather than novelty. The range runs from sandals to shoes, with limited-edition split-toe socks and sandals released now and then. The founder is said to have more than 20 years in footwear and fashion. Tabi Footwear also mentions taking inspiration from nature and finding new uses for materials already around us. You can find it at Goodhood as well.
