hey thanks for the info, but those would take a bit to get used to, besides i dont think that they have em in my size anyway (well actually im not sure :blush:

) but anyway, anyone else got ideas?

Well, I have an idea, but I don't know how well it could work. I'll just post the steps.

1) Make sure you have a pair of black socks and some of those pads you put in your shoes (the comfy ones).

2) I'm not sure, bt I guess you could try sewing the together (the pad on the outside), or, if you don't mind the bottom being dirty, just slip the pad into the sock.

3) Now, I'd assume you would just have to take a short black string, attatch it to the bottom of the sock, and sew it to the top, parting the large toe from the smaller ones.

I have no idea if this will work, but it's simple. I suppose you could also use some denim and black cloth to make a tougher "sock".

yeah, i think it was dw who did that....

either him or luink

but anyway, they seemed to have worked pretty well

(they called them "ninja shoes")

lol, ninja shoes. That's sounds really funny. I'm sure ninjas just call em footwear or even just shoes. But that still sounds really funny, I don't know why but it does.

are you talking about the sock that are worn with zori, or are you wanting a pair of carpenter's boots (the tall ones with the rubber soles that carpenters and framers in Japan wear)?

Thanks everybody for your great help, but i went on a visit to japan and got myself some Tabi, snd man arre they COMFORTABLE! my regular shoes feel clumsy and uncomfortable after wearing them. I highly recommend getting some, i got mine a couple sizes larger than needed, but if you like your toes getting squashed go ahead, but i do recommend only getting one size larger.
