KAME(Kamei)-san -

Welcome to "Succeeding Generation Project" Room.

Quote:
I put thought into the reason why the eight-sole sandals were worn in factories. In factories, what might cause fire were strictly prohibited and hobnails were included in them. They feared sparks when hobnails were hit. At that time, everyone made shoes hobnailed to protect the soles from wearing out.

As I guessed, they were fairly popular in Osaka, weren't they?

In addition, eight-sole sandals are safe as they are not slippery.

You mean they are sturdy like hardware and not slippery in addition.

Thank you very much.
