The boot in the picture has the grooves which pretty much define the Tabi boot, allowing wall climbing manuevers and such. The boot I received had a flat bottom and gave almost no grip. Tennis shoes work better.

If your new to ninjutsu or Bujinkan, and want a pair of tabi then stay away from these cheap knock offs. Go do a search on ebay or google for jikatabi. The Jikatabi are authentic, and won't fall apart after an hour of training. Hope I gave some good advice!

Happy training

Something I would need to say about these boots is that ive never had troubles with them,and my fellow trainees own the same boots from the same seller,we do alot of rough training through bad weather up steep slopes training to climb walls and roughhousing in the snow(very cold on the footsies lol)and never not even once has a tabi boot busted a seem or come undone.The fabric used to make these boots is very durable and I fell istantly in love with the velcro closure,We ordered six pairs total and not once did we have problems with them and still havent.

The reviews below me are quite unfair,their isn any evidence that the reviwer below me owns a pair of these boots,it only sounds to me like he has a pair of boots from a different comapany,he is happy with them and considers all others crap,kind of like ford truck drivers vs. another vehicle.and the review further down was as far as im concerned a complete factory mishap and should have e-mailed the seller before posting,The way he did it was very childish in my opinion.

And a small comment on the jikatabi that sam suggested in his review,the jikatabi are great only if you prepared to spend upward of about fifty dollars plus,it is true that ninja boots of any kind dont seem to be that cheap but the jikatabi are just too expensive for training that most of us probably wont actualy use so,I mean how many of us are going to scale a wall everyday.

PS.
We have had these boots for well over half a year we havent had to replace a pair yet,i think thats tetament enought their quality AND the quality of the reviews below me.

You absolutely must get these a size smaller than you want. Also note there is generally a good bit of extra space toward the top. I overcame this by lacing mine up in place of the velcro. Soles are nice, not too a heavy patter, not too soft, have decent traction, great toe grip, can feel through the bottom pretty well (which is important with tabi).

All in all you can't beat what you get for the price, soon as mine came I ran straight outback to test them-practically ran up the oak tree when I got there too! I have homemade all leather tabi but, I wanted these for training and rope climbing exercises. Love them so far.

Thanks Amazon!

bought these boots for holloween. they are just ok. not for training. seem to built only to be worn a few times. still pretty cool though.

They were quite comfortable on my feet, even after long hours walking with them on. But I thought they were going to be slip-resistant. They are not. I'm using them around the house, but need to find a work pair

this is perfect! im not shure the negative reviews are for the same product becuase this is top notch. the tabi have great grip and are definatly built to last they clasp with velcro, i prefur velcro to the metal clasps. they bottom of the tabi looks orange in the picture but when they came to me they where a tan color so thats a plus in my opinion. they are comfortable, i ware them without socks but thats just because i havent worn socks in years.They came suuuuuper fast. I ordered them on a saturday and got them on wednesday. I get all of my Gear from Tiger claw, they are verry dependable and my favorite when it comes to uniforms weapons and equiptment. Im a practitioner of various martal arts including Tai chi, ninjitsu, and akido. Tiger claw is my one stop shop for anything i need.

The boots bottom are made of poor quality gel & rubber, uncomfortable, almost get me fell on the ground several times on solid surfaces like granite. Can't walk a lot with it because the bottom layer is thin and solid, with no soft interior layers. When I run with the boots, my feet hurts, and make a lot of noise like beating the floor with a piece of rubber. I expected more than this with the price I paid. At least the size is fit for my feet, and the design for toes isn't bad, and the black color didn't fade away when washed----that's reason I'm giving 2 stars.

they shipped 3 days before the earliest stated delivery time so they shipped quite fast and came with a folding cardboard shoe box though it was not very high quality the actual shoes were great though they ran kinda small for me so i would order them a size bigger than normal calfs are kinda wide but if your going to tuck in your pants theyll be great mine came with grooves on the bottom and seemed quite durable for 30 bucks and your first pair you wont find a better deal probably''''

Way cooler than I originally expected, the only thing is that you kind of have to wear the tabi socks because the velcro does occassionaly rub against your calves and it can be a bit annoying.

Other than that. Great service. Item as described.
