{"product_id":"gold-cloud-geta-shoes-japan-kumoito","title":"Gold Cloud Geta Shoes Japan 'Kumoito'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBrown wooden geta with a navy strap printed in gold clouds and vines\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGold clouds on navy, on brown wood. These geta are a solid base in a warm brown stain with the grain showing, two teeth underneath, and a padded strap in navy cloth printed with gold clouds and a scroll of vines, passing between the toes. The brown warms the gold, and the whole shoe reads richer than the black-wood version and older.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are the geta in the collection for someone who wants gold on the strap and wood that looks like wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Kumoito, is the cloud thread, the gold line drawing clouds on the strap, and the name is the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is a solid block of wood in a warm brown stain that shows the grain, with a flat footbed, a rounded toe and two teeth underneath, the front one set forward of the ball of the foot. The strap is a padded fabric thong that passes between the first two toes and anchors at three points through the sole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear them with a white tabi sock, the split-toe sock in the photograph, which is how a geta is worn in Japan: the sock takes the rub of the thong and the split gives the strap its place. Under a yukata, a jinbei, a wide trouser or a pair of shorts, the geta is the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strap print is gold clouds and vines on a navy ground, the pattern of a formal cloth, and the padding runs the full length of the thong. The brown stain is darker at the edges and lighter across the footbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe footbed is flat and the two teeth are fixed, so the walk is the geta walk: a short step, the weight over the front tooth, and the knock of wood on pavement that gives the shoe its sound. Indoors, on a wooden floor, take them off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the wood with a dry cloth and keep it out of standing water, which swells the grain; the strap can be sponged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a street they are brown geta with a gold strap. From close the strap shows its clouds, the wood its grain, and the footbed its lighter centre. They are the geta for a navy yukata with a gold obi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes run from EU 35 to 46, each listed with its US equivalent. They are cut to Asian sizing and run small, so take one size up from your usual. A geta is meant to end a little before the heel, and the size up keeps the toes off the front edge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"35 \/ 3.5","offer_id":59208065679708,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:200000333","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36 \/ 4.5","offer_id":59208065712476,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:200000334","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"37 \/ 5","offer_id":59208065745244,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:100010482","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"38 \/ 6","offer_id":59208065778012,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:200000898","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"39 \/ 6.5","offer_id":59208065810780,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:200000364","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 \/ 7","offer_id":59208065843548,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:100013888","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"41 \/ 8","offer_id":59208065876316,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:100010483","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"42 \/ 8.5","offer_id":59208065909084,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:200000337","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"43 \/ 9.5","offer_id":59208065941852,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:200000338","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"44 \/ 10","offer_id":59208065974620,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:100010487","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45 \/ 11","offer_id":59208066007388,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:3116","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46 \/ 11.5","offer_id":59208066040156,"sku":"14:496#0;200001027:200000899","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/gold-cloud-geta-shoes-japan-kumoito-1.jpg?v=1790584100","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/gold-cloud-geta-shoes-japan-kumoito","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
