What are Tabi boots used for?
Tabi boots are traditional Japanese footwear, with a design separating the big toe from the rest of the wearer’s toes. They were worn by gardeners, farmers and construction workers because of their flexibility and durability. You can shop Tabi-style boots from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
