The shape is designed to be adapted to the shape of the foot and limit fatigue when walking. This model is water resistant and can be worn on rainy days or near the showers in the dojo.
Ideal replacement for Zori when walking in a dojo or gym, but also refined and solid enough to be worn with a yukata, a Jinbei or Samue, or simply with normal clothes.
| Size | Japanese Size | US Size | UK Size | EUR Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M | 23.5 ~ 24.5 cm | 6 ~ 7 | 5 ~ 6 | 38.5 ~ 39.5 |

Traditionally, the Setta is slightly shorter than the foot and it lets the heel protrude of a few centimeters.
The Western style consist in retaining a full heel supports like that of the rear of shoe.

Japanese Cotton/Polyester Samue
Made in Japan
Material: 65% Polyester / 35% Cotton
Color: black or navy
Size: S, M, L, LL or 3L.What makes this Samue special? It was designed by Buddhist temple monks so it suits their everyday needs to perfection. Among the main features they requested:
- Reinforced sleeves opening for better durability. Also allows great comfort when rolling up the sleeves.
- Zipper on the right pocket so nothing gets out when working hard.
- Internal pocket, designed at (big) smartphone size (yes, even monks have smartphones nowadays!).
- Elastic waistband + cord, so it can fit most body types.
- Reinforcement on the bottom for better comfort and durability when sitting for long hours.
- Double layer reinforcement on the knees, similarly for better durability when working on the temple's everyday tasks.Monks wear Samue all day long and they have limited time for each of their daily tasks, so it was decided to use a cotton/polyester blend to improve washability and fast drying.
Solid, well-cut, this is a high-quality Samue model that will delight all enthusiasts of Japanese tradition, as well those seeking an original homeware or leisure outfit for a family outing at the weekend, or even Shiatsu practitioners.
The Samue is a garment that has many uses. Traditionally worn by monks in Zen Buddhist temples, artists, or even doctors, it is also widely worn as homeware, both at home, in the ryokan (traditional hotel), or at the onsen (hot spring). It is also found among players of the original Zen instrument, the Shakuhachi (traditional flute). In recent years, the port of Samue extended outside the home, as particularly comfortable informal clothing. Just like Jinbei, Samue is worn without a belt.
Sizing advice
A samue is designed to be loose, so a specific size will fit a very wide range of body shapes.
