No matter how often we see the Margiela Tabi, the split-toe design never becomes overdone or loses appeal. The avant-garde spirit of the shoes is consistently eye-capturing, making them always striking to behold. But given the uniqueness of the shoe type and design, it’s no surprise most people wonder if they are comfortable. Let’s evaluate this.
Comfortability
The Maison Margiela Tabi is a nearly 50-year-old shoe design, in this time the brand has perfected its star style and ensured its customers are getting the best comfort levels possible with the split toe present. The gap between your big toe and the rest is not too big allowing the in-between skin not to stretch or rub against the material, it’s made for a snug fit to mould to your foot, not for your foot to fit the shoe. The material is chosen to promote higher levels of comfort and give you personalized support. Though for maximized comfort we recommend getting a special Tabi sock.
It obviously will feel strange on the foot when you first try them out because one of your toes is in a different compartment but once you adjust to it you will find them oddly comfortable, the Tabi offers extra protection against shoe blisters, stability, and more awareness whilst walking which is a pro for less wear and tear.
