The Tabi design has deep roots. Originally worn in Japan for balance, agility, and connection to the ground. At WoodchuckSato, we bring the tabi into every corner of your wardrobe: loafers, boots, flats, and heels, each pair handmade with care down to the smallest detail. The unique split-toe design brings style and comfort to every step - distinct, deliberate, and made to be worn daily.
Consideration behind every pair of Tabis
Nothing at WoodchuckSato is rushed. Every pair takes shape slowly in our small workshop, no assembly lines, no shortcuts. Each material is chosen with intention, from the upper, down to our hybrid leather-and-rubber soles, with every pair inspected by hand for a level of detail no machine can match.That patience is what gives a handmade shoe its soul. This is WoodchuckSato - made deliberately, built to be worn, one pair at a time. Explore more inour story.
The Story Behind Our Tabis
From a single piece of leather to a lovely pair of Tabis
Every pair begins with quality leather and a pair of skilled hands. Our artisans cut, stitch, and shape each shoe individually. No assembly lines, no shortcuts, just honest craftsmanship, from the first cut to the moment your pair is carefully packed and on its way to you.
A very good product. Very comfortable. The size matches the chart. 👌😊

Tout était parfait!
Aussi bien au niveau de ma commande qui est arrivée comme prévue avec une très bonne communication.En effet, le système de trakking était très bien
Et quoi demander de plus qu'un large sourire de ma fille en ouvrant son cadeau d'anniversaire, j'aime aussi l'attention des détails de l'emballage de ces chaussures, la qualité du travail se ressent dés l'ouverture du paquet.
je recommande ce produit à100%

Le scarpe sono bellissime, di ottima qualità e comodissime! Ho seguito la guida per trovare la misura e ho trovato la taglia perfetta. Avevo comunque un dubbio sulla taglia e ho contattato il servizio clienti, hanno risposto tempestivamente e sono state davvero gentilissime. Non mi aspettavo un servizio cosi efficiente, sono rimasta stupita! Sono arrivate in meno di due settimane e ho sempre potuto tracciare il mio pacco. Esperienza di acquisto stupenda!

Ich habe normalerweise Schuhgröße 39/40 und habe den Schuh in Größe 40 gekauft, damit ich vorne etwas Platz habe und er passt perfekt. Er ist sehr bequem und das Leder ist schön weich. Ich habe den Artikel nach knapp 4 Wochen erhalten (Deutschland). Durch den Gummizug hält er super am Fuß. Ich liebe ihn!

GORGEOUS! Soft supple leather in a wide fit. Loveeee these. If you’re a wider fit person size up one size and you’ll be good.

I'm usually a US9/EU40/25.5cm foot, and originally ordered the slingbacks with the bow in 40, my usual size. When they arrived they felt too tight, especially in the front/opening. I returned them, and customer service was lovely and understanding. Upon closer examination, I realized these - the slingback with the side ruched - had an opening that felt more forgiving for the wider foot, and so ordered these in a size larger, 41. (Figured I could wear with socks on the off chance it was too long. Which it wasn't!) Both were the right call, to switch to this model and a size larger. In addition to wide, my feet are fleshy, sensitive and blister prone, but walking around the house I could already feel the leather molding to my feet. I unexpectedly had to walk 15,000 STEPS (!!!) the first time I wore them out. I was shocked by how comfortable they were, especially for the first 7-8000 steps. (Which is impressive for any shoe, really.) By the last couple thousand steps I knew I was pushing it, but at the end of the day, while a little sore, I still hadn't gotten blisters. Miraculous. I'm a huge fan of the style and quality, and I think I'll be back for another pair in a different style and color one of these days!

This is my first pair of tabis, and I am obsessed! The quality is great. I ordered a size 42 based on my foot measurement on the size chart, and they fit. However if your measurments are exact to the size chart, I would maybe recommend ordering the next size so you have a little more room. Since these are slingbacks, sizing is more forgiving. I am adjusting to this style of shoe and breaking in the leather between the toes. They get more comfortable with each wear. Overall I would recommend.
