Customer photo review of Kendo Half-Tabi

These navy blue toe separators are comfortable, lightweight, and easy to use. The soft material feels gentle on the skin, while the adjustable strap helps keep them securely in place. They are practical for daily foot care and relaxation at home. The simple design is convenient, and they offer good value for anyone seeking comfortable foot support.

Customer photo review of Kendo Half-Tabi

It’s great, now don’t have to wrap my toe (old running injury) before kendo and it’s very comfortable!

Customer photo review of Kendo Half-Tabi

Top quality and does not interfere with your footwork. Keeps looking great even after multiple sessions.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Very nice contact helping me settling things up.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Very handy to have if getting foot use to Kendo so I could continue training.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Thank you for replacing wrong item and sending to me right tabi.

Kendo Half-Tabi

This tabi fits better, and stays in place, than any other I've tried. The stitch pattern on the front of the sole should extend the lifetime of the tabi.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Solves my problem dry feet on old wooden dojo floor. I couldn't push forward much without this. The difference is night and day.

Kendo Half-Tabi

All my gear ever since I started Kendo @ 50yrs old, pre-covid are from Kendo Star. I have Plantar fasciitis or basically in my own translation "flat feet" and the pains that come with it after every Keiko. This has become unbearable so I have had to buy paddings to continue my kendo. Ordering the half tabi was a breeze and delivery was unimaginable speed considering I live in Canada and Fisher Sensei's Shop is across the ocean in UK. The pain has definitely reduced but still trying to get used to not having my feet feel the Dojo floor for Ashi Sabaki. Thank you very much Kendo Star for high quality products... Arigato Gozaimas

Kendo Half-Tabi

It’s good but you sent the wrong foot I wanted the right foot not left foot

Kendo Half-Tabi

Good, comfortable fit, true to size. Ordered size L (26-27cm), I have quite standard width feet and regularly wear a size EU 42 men’s shoe. Quality of materials feels high and the leather sole gives a decent grip for pushing off with the left foot.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Great fit, seems sturdy.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Very comfortable and fits well.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Great fit. Perfect foot saver for feet new to kendo. Thanks.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Fits perfectly, and fulfils its purpose

Kendo Half-Tabi

Half tabi I am very satisfied with the product. It really helps to overcome some periods with blisters or pass through a 1-2 days intensive seminar (especially if a floor surface has some gaps). I have a US 10 shoe size and half-tabi XL size fits just perfectly.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Extremely useful Works really well to protect the bottom of your foot and to add cushioning. Defiantly recommend!!

Kendo Half-Tabi

Very useful It's a fantastic equipment. Very useful for protecting sole, it's strong, soft and comfortable.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Train while recovering... Admittedly, I am somewhat of a "tenderfoot" and kendo has certainly been toughening up my feet. However, after two days of all-day seminar and three of keiko, my feet were pretty torn up. These half-tabi are a life-saver; I still hunger to train and these allow me to continue my normal keiko schedule while my feet heal. Great product and service! Thanks again, KendoStar!

Kendo Half-Tabi

No more blisters Fits well and has saved my feet from blisters. I only use it when I feel a blister starting as I'm trying to toughen up the ball of my left foot. A most useful piece of protective gear.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Half tabi Absolutely brilliant. I was dubious over the sizing but they fit perfectly. Obviously no substitute for real bare foot kendo. However great for a freezing cold dojo in winter and training at work on a tiled floor in the engine house. Highly recommend

Kendo Half-Tabi

perfect little helper Good quality, fast shipping and most important no blisters anymore.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Stop Blisters! If you're experiencing blisters and sore feet the Half Tabi are for you. Be sure to measure your foot as per the instructions. Size was correct but I have wide feet so a little snug. Lovely quality and fast shipping that we've come to expect from KS. Excellent!

Kendo Half-Tabi

Excellent quality! I just received my tabi in the mail, and I am more than happy with them. The material and craftmanship is excellent quality. Having wide feet, the initial fit is quite tight, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. I am hoping it stretches out in time. The important thing is that they protect my feet!

Kendo Half-Tabi

Fantastic Einfach nur toll! Ich liebe diese Fuss-Schützer. Meine Füsse sind immer hornhautfrei, Frau muss gepflegte Füsse haben, und echt empfindlich. Ruck-zuck gibt es eine Blase unter dem großen Zeh, die Haut ist weg und das Training wird schmerzhaft. Mit diesem Schutz passiert das alles nicht. Der Fuss ist save und ich kann mich um die wichtigen Dinge im Training kümmern. Außerdem hoffe ich, dass in der nun kommenden kalten Jahreszeit, mit viel Lüften wegen Corona, die Füße nicht so kalt werden ;-)

Kendo Half-Tabi

Excelent protector It fits like a glove. It ofers excelent protection and it seems to be made of high quality material. I bought one for my right foot and it has the perfect amount of "slip" needed for your right foot.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Fantastic! Initially I bought it in case of injury, but I tried and it helps more than a simple protector. The leather slips a little bit, and for this reason, you must perform correctly the fumikomi, in fact, it is helping me to have the feeling of the correct movement (and reduce my right foot pain).

Kendo Half-Tabi

Good fit I'm a UK 7.5 G fitting (wide) and bought the L size. The fit is OK but couldn't be any smaller (for width or toes). As always, fantastic customer service from Andy and Joseph!

Kendo Half-Tabi

Good This is a really good protector. Handy when you need to continue training despite of blisters. I do not like the strap appearance. In my opinion it should be less visible but that's a matter of taste.

Kendo Half-Tabi

The best quality El protector es perfecto, de origen japonés por lo que las tallas son un poco pequeña, en mi caso utilizo un 46 EU y la talla XL, entra pero aprieta un poco, las costuras internas pueden ser un poco molestas al principio, una vez te acostumbras realiza su función perfectamente, tiene apariencia de durar muchos años. ------------------------------------------------ The protector is perfect, of Japanese origin so the sizes are a bit small, in my case I use a 46 EU and the size XL, enter but tighten a little, the internal seams can be a bit annoying at the beginning, once you you usually perform its function perfectly, it has the appearance of lasting many years.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Great Beautiful equipment ans Amazing service.

Kendo Half-Tabi

Really helps with training This is fantastic, the lethrer soles are far better then the canvas ones. And the best thing about this is that I can continue training even when I have a very painful blister (because of this I managed to train with an infected blister ) I only use them when injured and I always advise people to have one just in case of injury at a really unfortunate time (just before competition / during a seminar)
