>Would you buy a pair?
No.
>They're on sale.
... Maybe.

Ayayaya~

They aren't akai. I'll only buy them if they're akai, like Aya-chan's.

I refuse to believe anyone would actually be able to stand wearing these. There's a reason Aya most gets around by flying.

what if i said i have a pair, but never take them out because of the horrible amounts of shame i feel for being so weeaboo

I'm sure I can find better ways to cripple myself.

You iceskate sideways with it.

>>1684009

ZUN could.

NOT TALL ENOUGH.

Aya's a pair of shoes actually.

What's the point of these anyway? High heels for the samurai?

There is none, they're just a type of geta associated with Tengu. Tengu are mythical anyway, so you can hardly ask too many questions. Proper geta have practical usage of course, but that's debatable when it comes to tengu-geta.

>>1684270

I totally did not know Tengu were fictional.

But then again I totally did not know what Tengu were.
(I thought they were just some type of Blackbird.)

>>1684306
tengu = sky dog

>>1684306

Oh wow am I uninformed; through Wikipedia I just learned that Blackbird is in fact NOT synonymous with every type of black bird.

And I always call Crows and Ravens "blackbirds".
Damn.

Ippon-ba Geta were also supposedly used in rocky or uneven terrain. Also some have speculated that they were used in muddy terrain so that mud wouldn't accumulate in between the "teeth" like normal geta.

>>1684308
That's what the characters mean, not what it is. (I hear that the Chinese creature they were derived from were more dog-like.)

If you wear that in muddy terrain, you're just going to get your shoe stuck in the mud.
