Giving a New Meaning to Dress-Up Shoes

Japanese footwear brand Erimaki Sox has designed a new, eye-catching type of sock styled after the traditional Japanese tabi. Ankle-high, tabi are traditionally made from a stiff type of cotton, have a separation between the big toe and the other toes, and are held in place with a series of clasps at the back of the ankle.

However, Erimaki Sox takes this concept and gives it a modern spin, doing away with the separated toe section and taking the back clasps to the front, replacing them with buttons to create adorable miniature business shirts for your feet.
