FAQs
Do I need special socks for Tabi shoes?
Yes, you must wear split-toe socks (Tabi socks) because the design separates the big toe from the rest of the foot.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Tabi range generally follows standard European sizing; however, the split-toe box may feel different initially, so it is recommended to ensure the length accommodates your longest toe.
How should I store these loafers?
Store them in a cool, dry place inside their dust bag to prevent the leather from drying out or collecting dust.
Can these be resoled?
Yes, as high-quality Italian leather shoes, a professional cobbler can usually replace the sole once it wears down.
What is the white stitch detail?
The white stitch is a signature design element of Maison Margiela, representing the brand's unique identity on many of its products.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure you are using split-toe socks and that your foot is properly aligned with the toe split before sliding the heel in.
Scuffing on the leather surface
Use a matching black leather cream and a soft buffing brush to gently buff out superficial scratches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Tabi loafers, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust after each wear. For minor scuffs, apply a leather-specific cream or conditioner to maintain the luster of the smooth black finish. Because of the split-toe design, ensure you purchase split-toe socks or Tabi-specific hosiery to prevent discomfort between the toes. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or exposing them to excessive heat, as this can degrade the natural leather and structural adhesive.
