Tanuki Umi
Product information
The Tanuki models came to life thanks to a unique coincidence and a heartfelt collaboration.
Japanese washi paper has a tradition of more than a 1000 years, with a variety of uses. But it was only after Mr. Itioi and crossed paths that this magical fabric found its way into minimal footwear.
Fibers from the Abaca plant are woven together using a special technique making the Tanuki model breathable and water permeable.
The weave, together with the paper-textile properties, makes it the ideal shoe for warm conditions.
At only 56-151g it's one of the lightest shoes in the world - giving an unprecedented feeling of freedom.
The permeable paper upper with its super quick drying qualities makes the Tanuki ideal for water adventures - just remove the hempling insoles, and simply replace them with washi insoles (available separately).

Care
Waterproofing before first-time wear
This minimal shoe is water-permeable. Consequently, waterproofing is not necessary.
Cleaning
If the shoes get soiled, it’s best to brush them clean gently when they’re dry or wash them gently by hand. Not machine washable.
If this minimal shoe walks through salt water with you, we recommend rinsing it well with fresh water afterwards.
For stubborn stains, we recommend gentle cleaning with our biodegradable cleaning solution "Drops".
We recommend removing the insoles from the shoes after use for airing and to avoid moisture build-up.
They can be carefully washed by hand. Allow to dry completely before putting them back. Not machine washable.
Video tutorials explaining how to care for your shoes are available on the video channel.
Additional notes
Every single shoe is a handmade one of a kind, with an upper made from natural material. The structure and coloration may exhibit minor irregularities.
Extensive use can result in a kind of denim look.
When putting on, please note: Widen the opening of the shoe sufficiently by loosening the laces. This minimizes wear on the material and extends the life of the shoe.
When using ride-on toys, we recommend additional protection against scuffing.
Material:
The shoes will be delivered with elastic shoe laces and end clips.
WARNING! CHOKING HAZARD – small parts. Not for children under 3 years!
