MARUGO “Jitsuyo 3” Ninja Jikatabi Shoes — Black (3 Kohaze)
The MARUGO Jitsuyo 3 is a practical, durable pair of Japanese jikatabi (地下足袋) designed for secure footing and everyday use—perfect for ninjutsu training, ninja footwork, and traditional Japanese work environments. Built with a grippy rubber sole and a supportive split-toe shape, it helps improve balance, ground sensitivity, and natural movement—key qualities appreciated by practitioners of ninpo, Togakure Ryū Ninpō, Bujinkan, Genbukan, and Jinenkan.
Why Choose the Jitsuyo 3 Jikatabi
- 3 Kohaze closure for a secure ankle fit and easy on/off.
- Thicker vulcanized rubber sole for traction and stability on mixed surfaces.
- Non-slip grip designed to perform well on wet ground, morning dew, and muddy paths.
- Reinforced glue processing for improved durability during intensive use.
- Split-toe (jika-tabi) design supports natural movement and confident foot placement.
- Unisex sizing (women and men) with classic black, training-ready look.
Materials & Construction
- Upper: cotton canvas with durable black PVC accents (easy to wipe clean).
- Sole: vulcanized rubber for grip, shock resistance, and long wear.
- Brand: MARUGO (Japan) — trusted maker of traditional footwear.
- Color: Black
Best Uses
The Jitsuyo 3 is a versatile choice for ninjutsu training (footwork, balance drills, outdoor keiko), martial-arts walking practice, festivals, and traditional Japanese work use. If you want a reliable “everyday” jikatabi with extra grip and durability, this model is a strong baseline.
Sizing Guide
Jikatabi are sized in centimeters (cm). Choose the size closest to your foot length. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thicker socks, consider sizing up by +0.5 cm.
| Japan Size (cm) | EU (approx.) | US Men (approx.) | US Women (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22.0 | 35 | 4 | 5.5 |
| 22.5 | 36 | 4.5 | 6 |
| 23.0 | 36–37 | 5 | 6.5 |
| 23.5 | 37 | 5.5 | 7 |
| 24.0 | 38 | 6 | 7.5 |
| 24.5 | 38–39 | 6.5 | 8 |
| 25.0 | 39–40 | 7 | 8.5 |
Tip: If you are used to wide sneakers, a half-size up in cm often feels better in jikatabi. For a performance fit (training/footwork), choose the closest cm size.
Care & Maintenance
- Wipe PVC areas with a damp cloth after outdoor training.
- Air-dry in shade; avoid direct heat to preserve glue and rubber.
- Remove dirt from the sole pattern to keep traction strong.

Excellent experience with this e-shop which I do recommend for their really nice selection and for their precious advice.
The Tabi boots I get are exactly how I expected them.
As an US 10 the 28 is perfect.
Japanese traditional style to walk through the streets of the world
Hervorragende MaterialQualität zum fairen Preis.
Domo Arigato gozai masu!🙏
My haori arrived in a timely manner and was everything I expected it to be and more. The quality of the haori is fantastic, and it fits great!
This pair of shoes is really very comfortable, and the craftsmanship is excellent. It's exactly what I expected. The only problem is that I ordered a pair half a centimeter larger than my usual size, and even so, they're so tight that I can't even wear socks (tabis)!
I loved them, very beautiful and perfect fit if you follow the measure instructions. Looking forward for some outdoors bujinkan training in the spirng!
I wish they would come in 12 version as well
Thank you very much
Just like described, fast shipment. Nothing to complain about :)
The Samue suit is very beautiful crafted - the fabric is soft and very pleasant to wear. A high quality clothing that exudes a genuine Japanese feeling attention to detail. . The tabi shoes clearly high quality. I am very happy.
Super cozy!
out est parfait. Merci
heads raised to the heavens, i am not worthy of the energy without thy consent.
Comfortable and visually stunning
Just the right size.
As this belt was a replacement for my original black belt from 2003, I am very pleased to say that it has the same feel and quality of my previous belt. I teach karate 5 days a week, so I need a belt that stands the test of time. I am positive that this is it!
Confortable et parfsit pour ma taille de pied. C’est super a porter a l’interieur :)
An amazing Gi. More like a samurai robe. Where the tk-10 is stone this is water, not flimsy but heavy but flows like a powerful river. Amazing quality.
