About

ABE Sangyo

Room shoes are an integral part of daily life in Japan, and since the company's founding in 1919, ABE Sangyo has been dedicated to crafting the most comfortable examples in the land. In a small workshop in Kahoku, a rural town that produces more than 40% of Japan’s room shoes, ABE Sangyo's experienced craftspeople design, cut, and sew domestic materials to create room shoes that fit their philosophy of “quality first without compromising."

Sizing Guide

Room Shoe Sizing Tips: Room shoes are designed for maximum comfort and are very forgiving when it comes to sizing, but it is important that your foot is not larger than the footbed. To ensure a proper fit, put on the type of socks you plan to wear with your room shoes and measure the length of your foot (in centimeters) while standing. Compare this measurement with the Japanese sizing in the chart below - which is also measured in centimeters - to determine the appropriate size. If you fall between sizes, round up, and if you have particularly wide feet, consider moving up one size. For more tips, check out our Rikumo Journal post on achieving a perfect fit.

Care + Use

These room shoes are hand washable. Wash separately using a wool detergent and fabric softener. Do not use chlorine bleach. After washing, reshape and dry in the shade. Avoid strong friction. Pilling may occur over time, due to the nature of long-fiber wool. Trim with scissors or use a wool brush when needed to remove pilling and restore the look of the shoes.
