Marugo

Barefoot brand from Japan.

Marugo is a Japanese footwear maker from Kurashiki in Okayama, making split toe tabi style shoes since 1919. Their range is mainly unisex, with everyday tabi shoes, a training shoe and tabi boots, plus a kids' shoe. I'd say they suit anyone curious about the two toe design, which is quite different from a usual barefoot shoe.

Specialities: split toe, unisex, kids, boots, training

How Marugo fits

standard width, medium volume

Marugo make split-toe tabi shoes, and their own advice is to pick a size with 0.5 to 1cm spare at the toes. The fabric relaxes with wear, so I'd avoid sizing up, and the insole comes out if you want more room.
