What are sabo sandals?
Many people may not have a clear idea of what “sabo sandals” are when they hear the word “sabo. Sabo sandals are sandals that cover the toes to the instep but leave the heel exposed. Originally, wooden shoes made from lightweight hollowed-out wood were called sabotsandals, and they are said to have originated in Sweden. The classic design often combines a sole made of wood or gathered cork with a leather or fabric upper. In shape, these items are similar to slippers.
Those famous sandals you are familiar with are actually sabots!
The word “sabo” is a French word, and in English-speaking countries it is called “clog,” which is probably more familiar to Japanese people. The name “Crocs” sandals, which everyone has probably seen at least once, are also called “sabo” sandals, which should make sense when you hear that the brand name is also derived from “clogs. Today, like Crocs, there are many rubber-made items that are rough and casual, and they are one of the most useful footwear when going out for a short time.
