About getas
About wearing geta, a useful clarification is needed given complaints about the size.
- First, it should be noted that the straps are taut when getas are new foot rest back and a bit more than the back. Over time, the strips relax, take the shape of the foot, and it is set up small to small.
- On the other hand, the wearing of getas by the Japanese is such that the foot always protrudes a little behind, unlike the western port which wants the foot to be entirely on the geta. In conclusion, let's say that the 5mm, or even 1cm, projection of the foot is normal and is not uncomfortable once you get used to it.
