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.
This is my 4th pair of Woodchuck Sato tabis and I love them. They are so comfortable and cute. I haven’t had to break them in or anything like that. Comfy right out the box.

LOVE these! Definitely measure your foot and size up .5, I’m normally a US 6.5/7 and I went with the 37. My foot measured 23.5 so I went with 24 aka 37. Amazing quality and the smell of the leather <33333 WORTH EVERY PENNY. I ordered it on November 1st and received them November 9th. Great shipping!!! Thank you!

Fit was a bit tight in my toe maybe until i get use to the split toe. Other than that the shoes are well made and beautiful. Delivery was fast 14 days. Im 6 us and i got the 35 but i wished i bought the 36 instead.

Le scarpe sono bellissime Esteticamente ma quello che mi ha stupita è stata la qualità altissima dei materiali, la manifattura è perfetta e sono cucite divinamente bene. La cura nei dettagli è stata la cosa che mi è piaciuta di più. Le consiglio vivamente. Hanno una pelle morbidissima che le rendono super confortevoli al piede🫶🏼🤍

very nice quality and comfort at a fraction of the price for the margiela version. I only wish they had a loop in the back to make it easier to get them on. I have slim relatively flat feet and needed a tabi insole to keep them from slipping around but it all worked out in the end. I get tons of compliments. Customer service is also excellent from this family-run company. I just ordered a pair of their loafers.

Мои первые Таби и они прекрасны во всех смыслах! Сильно сомневалась, что такая обувь может быть удобной, но они реально удобные и очень красивые. Запах обувного клея мне напомнил детство, это мило и он быстро выветрился. Очень долгая доставка, но я знала, что их шьют для меня, поэтому ожидание было с предвкушением! Спасибо!
