A kind of traditional Japanese [[socks|sock]]. Modern tabi resemble regular socks, only there is a division between the big toe and the other toes, and the soles are usually thicker. Historically, Tabi are commonly made of inelastic materials such as [[leather]] and cotton and have fasteners at the back due to its origin as indoor footwear, but modern Tabi also use stretchable fabrics. For socks with division between all toes use [[toe socks]] instead. 

For tabi that are used as footwear, use [[jika-tabi]] instead.
