FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Tabi Mary-Janes generally follow standard sizing, but the split-toe box can feel different; if you are between sizes, consider your usual European size conversion.
Can I wear these with regular socks?
Regular socks will not fit; you must use Tabi-specific socks with the divided toe section.
How do I clean the white stitching?
Gently spot clean the stitching with a very mild soap solution and a soft-bristled toothbrush, taking care not to wet the leather.
Is the leather durable?
The brushed leather is high-quality and durable, but it should be protected from harsh moisture and deep scratches to maintain its appearance.
What is the benefit of the split-toe design?
Beyond the iconic aesthetic, the split-toe is designed to separate the big toe from the others, which can provide a more natural, grounded feeling while walking.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on shoes due to split-toe
Ensure you are using split-toe socks and align the toe area gently before sliding the rest of the foot in.
Scuffing on the brushed leather
Use a soft, dry horsehair brush to remove surface debris and a neutral leather cream to buff out minor scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Tabi Mary-Janes, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use a specialized leather conditioner to keep the brushed leather supple and prevent cracking. Because of the split-toe design, ensure you have appropriate Tabi-compatible socks if you prefer wearing socks with your footwear. Clean the rubber soles periodically with a damp cloth to maintain the stark white contrast.
