Modeled after tabi, a Japenese split-toe style sock, Jika-Tabi means "tabi that contact the ground."

Jika-tabis are ninja shoes, and wearing them makes you feel stealth and cool.

The split-toe takes a bit of getting used to at first but once you do, the sensation of the soles gripping the ground feels good on the bottoms of your feet.

Tabi ninja shoes are comfortable, stylish, and guaranteed to ignite conversation. It's recommended that they be worn with tabi socks for comfort and to decrease odor issues.

Professionals wear them. Athletes wear them. Hipsters wear them. Children wear them. Grandparents wore them. It's practically a required dress code for college students. Originally considered the essential sports shoe, today Converse has infiltrated closets of both athletes and slackers alike to become what a lot of people consider the essential everyday shoe.

Cons come in a variety of colors and cool designs, and you can get them in low-top or high-top. What's interesting about Cons is that although the design hasn't changed too radically since the original All-Star basketball shoe was launched in 1917, Cons never seem to go out of style.

When compared with brands like Nike, Cons aren't that expensive. You can find a pair from $35-$50, depending on the store.

You know it's going to be a good time anytime you're sporting some Chuck Taylor's, but if you want to work out and seriously play sports, Cons aren't good shoes for that anymore. They've evolved into an everyday shoe that sure beats the heck out of wingtips and crushing heels on a casual Friday.
