Step Into WoodchuckSato
The Tabi design has deep roots. Originally worn in Japan for balance, agility, and connection to the ground. At WoodchuckSato, we bring the tabi into every corner of your wardrobe: loafers, boots, flats, and heels, each pair handmade with care down to the smallest detail. The unique split-toe design brings style and comfort to every step - distinct, deliberate, and made to be worn daily.
Consideration behind every pair of Tabis
Nothing at WoodchuckSato is rushed. Every pair takes shape slowly in our small workshop, no assembly lines, no shortcuts. Each material is chosen with intention, from the upper, down to our hybrid leather-and-rubber soles, with every pair inspected by hand for a level of detail no machine can match.That patience is what gives a handmade shoe its soul. This is WoodchuckSato - made deliberately, built to be worn, one pair at a time. Explore more in our story.
The Story Behind Our Tabis
From a single piece of leather to a lovely pair of Tabis
Every pair begins with quality leather and a pair of skilled hands. Our artisans cut, stitch, and shape each shoe individually. No assembly lines, no shortcuts, just honest craftsmanship, from the first cut to the moment your pair is carefully packed and on its way to you.

Let customers speak for us
Beautiful shoes and so well made. Customer service were amazing in helping me select the correct size. Very happy with my purchase.
Beautiful shoes and well made.
Beautiful shoes!! The leather is such nice quality and the design looks exactly the same in person. I really wish they offered half sizes though. I normally wear a US 7.5-8 and am in between 38 and 39. I ordered the 38 and they are a pretty tight but I’m hoping the leather stretches. But I’d be worried the 39 would be too big and my heel would slip.
Beautifully made shoes and really comfy! Very soft leather. I ordered my usual size and they are snug but will stretch enough through wear.
The sling backs are absolutely comfortable and beautiful this is my second pair and im glad i have both. Very well made pair of shoes.
So much more comfortable than my Margielas!
Super cute, well made, and very comfortable. My only regret is not getting two pairs, one in each of the sizes that I was contemplating and returning the one that didn’t fit. I got the worry free shipping but was worried that one size too small would have been two tight and I would have had to exchange them again. If you’re not sure about sizing, get the worry free shipping and get two sizes!
I'm between two sizes and I took the smaller ones, they are a bit small and it hurt the first time i wore them because the leather had to soften a bit, i would recommend to size up if u are between two sizes ! Nevertheless the quality is very good and they are so pretty !!
I can honestly say that my experience buying from Woodchuck Sato is the best experience I’ve ever had and I will absolutely continue to buy Tabis from them.
Not only are the shoes gorgeous and beautifully made, but the team are incredibly kind and go out of their way. I originally ordered a size 38 (my usual size) and unfortunately they were a bit too big. I would highly recommend getting the Seel buyer protection if you’re eligible because this saved me from a costly return.
After speaking with the team and getting approval for my return, they got back in touch within a few hours saying that they’d checked their warehouse located closer to me and they had a 37 that someone had returned and they could ship that pair from the closer warehouse to reduce the delivery time. I’m blown away by the fact they took the time to check, when they could have easily just sent me a new pair from Singapore which would have taken longer.
I love these flats! I have the margiela ones and I prefer these 🤩 thank you! I can’t wait to wear them down
son muy cómodos, la entrega fue muy rápida y segura, están muy bonitos, la atención por parte de la tienda es perfecta
Much better quality than expected! Comes with a pair of socks too, which was a lovely bonus. True to size, although slightly big — sizing down would’ve been too small, so it’s perfect for me! I love them!
I’m absolutely blown away by the quality and craft. The leather is supple yet hold the shape beautifully. The details are amazing and so well executed. There is nothing here to envy about higher (ends ?) brands. It’s true to size. My eu39 is 39 from Woodchuck. I definitely recommend. Thank you.
Just as I expected. I’m going to enjoy wearing them.
Le ballerine sono veramente molto comode, non stringono e non danno fastidio. La pelle é di buona qualità e si sente. Consiglio vivamente l’acquisto. Io ho preso un 39 che é il mio numero abituale e mi vanno perfette
