I think they are a kind of flip flops made of wood that uses a particular culture from the world. They are used for walk and for not have a dirty foot. I think they come from Japan because I saw a movie that the people had kimonos and flip flops like those. I think that it would be fun to see people wearing this. One day I will buy one, and I will put in a table in my house like a Japanese art.

These are a traditional Japanese kind of sandals called "Geta". This type of sandals are often used in a hot weather, combining too many times with traditional Japanese dresses, like kimonos. As we can deduce they are from Japan. Sometimes getas are used in the rain or snow to keep feet dry , due to its height and impermeability. This sandals are made of wood. Ricardo Rodriguez 2014-0042
ReplyDeleteI think they’re sandals, and of course that’s what they look like. They’re used as a clothing traditional and perhaps by the hot weather. I suppose they’re from Japan because of the materials and fresh design that they’re made. Moreover, they look like a strong and truly uncomfortable design in my opinion, but of course, I respect their culture.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all my partner's comments. i think they are sandals. they're used as traditional choose matching with a typically dress. I think they're from Japan because their estructure and the material they are made, which in this case is wood with two perpendicular pieces below. I think tha material they're made of is the most uncomforable that i've ever seem.

ReplyDeleteI think they're a traditional footwear from Japan, their name is Geta if I'm not wrong. They're like sandals but they're different than our sandals. Because our sandals are usually are made of rubber or in plastic, but those types of sandals are made of wood. They are used for walking and also, to wear with kimonos, so that, their height don't let the kimonos reach on the ground.

Those are some traditional Sandals. Maybe this sandals are used to not get dirty with the mud in the field. Some people use this to walk, because, these are confortable. they used it to plant some vegetales or fruit. I think these Sandals are used in China, in some little town there.

What I see on the picture is a sandals used in the Asian continent, for the Japanese girls. Made by materials that we can appreciate on the picture are wood. I think that those sandals are made for a warm weather. Traditionally, they were used in the Japanese culture with a kimono. In my opinion these sandals look very uncomfortable, of course you can get used to it with discipline, which only Japanese have. Is a unique and strict culture full of traditions that we can take a look and admire everything like it was an art.

In my opinion, I think those are sandals but traditional ones. They are used in China or somewhere in Asia to wear with traditional clothes, maybe to look taller or more beautiful. I think is just to wear with traditional clothes because it might be very uncomfortable to walk with those all day long.

I think they are sandals, are old, and I think some countries pus use it. Walking accessory feet, and do not go barefoot, they are comfortable. Guess who use it in the summer weather as it does not cover the feet . I think are of African or Asian continent as there is a large mass of poverty in two continent.

I think they are a kind of sandals made of wood. It's a conventional footwear in Japan or somewhere in Asia. It is just to wear with a traditional dresses like a kimono. I saw movies that japanese people as the samurai wore flip flops like these in martial combats or training and also they used by the chefs.

I think those are sandals from japan. They are used for protect the feet, also as part of tipical dresses from there like the kimono. This sandals seem to be made with wood.
ReplyDeleteAs I have seen I think that's a sandal made of wood and rope called Geta and is a traditional footwear that is used in Japan. this is not used as a common gearment because usually this is used as part of a traditional garment with a dress or Japanese Kimono. I recognized that kind of sandals because i seen it in several movies, cartoons and in the Pan-American party of my school in Puerto Plata city.

ReplyDeleteI think they are a kind of traditional sandals with an elevated wooden base. These sandals are from Asia, and especially used in Japan. They are used to keep the foot well above the ground that are worn with traditional Japanese clothing such as kimono. Sometimes these sandals are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry. What a better way for you to not get your feet dirty with this original Asian sandals.

I think they're a pair of antique sandals from the Japanese culture. Japanese use this type of footwear called Getta to keep their foot off the floor in their homes. The Getta are a part of a traditional Japanese clothing, along with the kimono or yukata, but can be used in the summer and also with western clothes.

I think those are sandals made of wood, called geta, from Japan. All the Japanese people who wear a kimono needs use this sandals, also they are used in any kind of wet weather just to keep their feet dry. This sandals comes from Japan and eventhough they are traditional from there, some people use to customize them for their own use. Geishas and Sumos use to wear this sandals everyday to do their job.

the name of those sandals is Geta. The women of Japan use those kind of shoes. They used with a Kimono, the use this dress for especial ocation or celebration too. For me in my opinion, I consider that is very difficult and unconfortable use those kind of shoes, but the women of Japan I thit that is so normal o use it.

I think they are a kind of sandals with an elevated base used to cover the feet from the ground and the grass. As I can see in the picture by the shape and the material that it’s made the sandal, I think they are a Japanese footwear that can be worn by both women and men. The sandals seem to be from the ancient history, but in my opinion they can be use nowadays to keep their tradition.

I think this photo is a Japanese sandals. After investigate and recall a movie, I found these are a type of knows as "geta" sandals. These are usually built with a main wooden table and two smaller. It principal function is to support the weight of the human body. Also, this type of sandals are use by the Japanese mainly in summer, sometimes combined with a traditional kimono.
