Indoor zori sandals for barefoot comfort — machine-washable canvas
When you're at home, you want to relax. These canvas zori (traditional Japanese thong sandals) from ABE HOME SHOES — the home-shoe brand of Abe Sangyo, a slipper maker since 1919 — offer even more freedom than room shoes. They're made to be worn barefoot, letting feet that have been cramped in shoes all day stretch out and unwind.
Why you'll love them
- Fresh and airy — almost everything except the sole of your foot is open, so your feet never feel stuffy.
- Machine washable — the cotton canvas can go in the washing machine and softens with every wash.
- Light and quiet — a cushioned EVA sole that is slip-resistant and doesn't clatter on wooden floors.
- Six colors, three sizes — pick a color for each member of the family.
- Made in Japan — by a long-established slipper maker, in Yamagata.
Cool, comfortable and never stuffy
Canvas zori leave almost your whole foot open except the sole, so there's no stuffiness at all — ideal if you like to go barefoot. The upper is made of canvas, so you can simply put them in the washing machine. Canvas softens as you wash and wear it, is durable, and comes in a range of colors to enjoy.
Abe Sangyo has made footwear since its founding over a hundred years ago, and the comfort, quality and sewing skill that come from that history are second to none.
For anyone who wants to live barefoot
If slippers or room shoes feel stuffy, or you simply prefer to go barefoot at home, these are for you. Keep that refreshing feeling of taking off tight shoes and socks when you get home.
Light and quiet — perfect for apartments
The EVA (synthetic resin) sole is slip-resistant and easy on your feet. Thanks to its cushioning, it doesn't make loud sounds even on wooden floors — easy to use in apartments and rooms where footsteps can bother others.
Six colors to brighten your step
Silver Gray, Cardinal Red, Mustard Yellow, Olive Green, Turquoise Blue and Lamp Black. Match them to your home, or choose a different color for each family member.
