Nice looking, not Long Lasting!,
Fun to wear, with socks expect to wedge your sock, without I never got splinters. They look nice, but they won’t last long outside. Small rocks EASILY stick into the soft lite wood leaving holes. The wood is so soft that someone wore mine outside, walked down concrete steps with them and tore off part of the back. Use these for inside use or costume use only, VERY delicate!!!

|Good for show.,
I bought these geta for about 25 bucks, real cheap! I wore them three times and the hanao (the black straps) came loose. It wasn’t fun walking back to my car barefoot. After a quick fix, I’ve only worn them on special occasions. They do like the other reviewer said collect small rocks in the bottom. They haven’t splintered on me yet, and if you wear them when it gets wet out they get water stains real easy.
But if your looking for a really good pair of geta, and your willing to spend the money on them, I’d suggest going to http://www.karankoron.com where they specialize in hand-made geta. The pair I ordered from there were about 50 dollars and you could wear them anywhere, plus you can get the option to have rubber put on the bottom for extra slip protection.
However, if your just looking for a cheap, impress your friends pair of geta, then go with these. Its all on your preference but remember, all geta are fun to walk on!

|Quality has improved,
The House of Rice has been selling these geta for a few years. Unlike more expensive geta, they are made of a soft wood instead of the traditional kiri/paulownia. The wood is very light in color and can be finished with wood stain or paint and you’ll have a great looking pair of geta.
In Japan, people like the sound of geta clacking along, in Japanese the sound is said to be karan-koron. Outside Japan, people seem to prefer quiet geta. It’s not hard to add rubber pads on the teeth (ha in Japanese), just cut up an old bicycle tire and attach to the wood with contact cement, tacks, or staples.
