Free Your Toes: Japanese GETALS Sandals with Ena Deer Leather Straps
Experience the feel of traditional Japanese geta sandals redesigned for modern wellness.
GETALS (pronounced “geh-tahlz”) are five-toe open sandals that combine classic Japanese wooden footwear with the casual comfort of Western sandals. Each pair is crafted in Ena City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, using Tōnō Hinoki—a locally grown Japanese cypress prized for its natural antibacterial properties, soothing aroma, and smooth texture that feels wonderful against bare skin.
The soft, durable deer leather straps are sourced from wild deer humanely culled in the Ena region, where overpopulation damages crops and causes traffic accidents. Using this leather supports sustainable wildlife management and honors the animal’s life, aligning with the spirit of the UN SDGs.
Slip into GETALS daily to gently massage and spread your toes, encouraging better balance and circulation. Many users report reduced foot fatigue, improved posture, and a warm, relaxed feeling throughout the body after regular wear.

How to Choose Your Size
Select based on your regular shoe size. For better walking comfort, choose a slightly smaller size so your heel does not hang over.
How to Wear and Remove GETALS
Because of their unique design, it may take a little practice to get used to wearing GETALS. Follow these steps for the best experience:
-
Toe Placement: GETALS have four front straps (called maetsubo) that fit between your toes. Carefully guide each toe into place.
-
Loosen the Straps: Before wearing, gently pull and soften the straps with your hands to make them easier to fit.
-
Heel Adjustment: Also massage the back part of the strap so your foot slides in more smoothly.
-
Step In Slowly: Place GETALS on the floor, shift your weight forward, spread your toes, and slowly insert your toes into the straps.
-
Adjust Comfortably: Once your toes are in, the straps can move slightly left or right—adjust them for comfort.
-
Removing GETALS: To take them off, simply press down on one heel with the other foot and lift.
💡 Note: GETALS are intentionally designed with firm straps to promote toe massage and stimulation. At first they may feel tight or unusual, but most users find that within 2–3 days they begin to fit more comfortably as the foot adapts.
By wearing GETALS regularly, you’ll train your toes to move more freely, massage underused muscles, and naturally improve foot strength and stability.
