Does anyone know if the high top ninja tabi boots run large or small?

I wouldn't say they are large or small, but I wear 7.5 US, so I don't know if they are different with the higher sizes. Let me know your shoe size and I'll ask. Is this for NinjaStar (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58511)?

i'm usually an 11.5 wide...i was figuring the 12 for sure but wondered if they ran small and i needed a 13...that would probably be too long...some people say i might as well have paddles for feetses.

Thanks!

if i pull it all together for the holloween parties i'm attending i'll surely get a picture made and submit it. i had to send the uniform to the dry cleaners though...there were some stubborn blood stains i just couldn't seem to get out...

[GeneChing]

It's hard for me to gauge, truth be told. I'd say that they are narrower towards the heel. A 13 might be better if your feet are particularly wide.

For blood stains, you got to get them early. Soaking in warm water with dishwashing soap usually works for me.

but, when you have to go to ground for weeks after a killin' spree you don't always have that option...and it's just plain tacky to start a new killin' spree with blood from the last killin' spree still on the garb.

thanks for the help. one pair ordered.

[GeneChing]

...it's time to buy a new ninja suit (http://www.martialartsmart.com/16-01.html). ;)

Thanks for the order. I hope they fit well so you can step stealthily.

[Oso]

i actually make my garb from scratch...the way you're supposed to ;)

i'm going with the tabi's just for fun though.

[GeneChing]

...okay, no, not really. I just bought them back in the daze before the internets. Now you can buy them online. (http://www.martialartsmart.com/ninja-styles.html) Life is better for ninjas.

All you need to qualify for ninjastar (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=922)is to "PROMINENTLY DISPLAY TIGER CLAW GEAR in their photo." That can be any gear from tabi to a headband (http://www.martialartsmart.com/75-50.html). Just don't display our competitor's gear, as the special Ninja Council that makes the selections is comprised of a panel of KungFuMagazine.com and Tiger Claw experts.

Yea...just did look at the rules...I think pretty much everything I own is TC....didn't y'all have the Hayashi brand at one time? ....I guess that would have been 97 or so.....

[GeneChing]

Hayashi is one of the Tiger Claw lines. It's a lot of our heavyweight gis (http://www.martialartsmart.com/11-2color.html).
