Traditional Japanese footwear gets a new twist with Geta Setta Japan’s beach sandals. The natural rubber soles offer resilience and comfort, while padded straps reduce scraping. But the real appeal is the wafu design—bold colors such as yellow, teal and red mixed with elaborate traditional patterns from graphic shapes to the iconic sakura. Women’s sizes are 24 and 25.5cm, while men’s sandals are available in 27 and 28cm (all sizes ¥5,200 plus tax). The size range isn’t broad, but hey—if the shoe fits, it’s the perfect city-to-beach look this summer.
