Tatami Slippers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The use of slippers in Japan is said to have become widespread during the Meiji period (1868\u20131912) as a way to welcome Western visitors into Japanese homes without unintentionally dragging in debris. Now, you can flip the tradition by opening your own door to Japan\u2019s famous footwear. While there are many decorative designs to choose from, most Tatami Slippers<\/a> <\/strong>feature a gentle curve from heel to toe to provide a snug, natural fit. Felt-like material on the outsole ensures that the slippers are as delicate on your flooring as they are on your feet.<\/p>\n
