NODAL
A Japanese sock brand specializing in Tabi style socks, created by Tamai Shoten, a long-established traditional tabi (Japanese split-toe socks) store founded in 1889. NODAL represents the point where things intersect, conveying the knowledge and qualities cultivated in tabi production to the world of fashion and sports.

Functional for Comfort
It uses a blend of high-performance Merino wool and durable nylon. It retains the inherent characteristics of Merino wool, such as excellent insulation, high odor resistance, breathability, and a soft touch, while also benefiting from the strength of nylon.

Furthermore, a special twisting method creates a smooth yarn surface, reducing the likelihood of pilling even with friction.

Supporting Foot Health
The Tabi socks style, with the separation of the toes, provides not only a unique design but also numerous health benefits. It can help reduce foot fatigue and pain, improve posture and walking gait, prevent bunions, and alleviate cold feet.

The toe and sole areas are made with pile knitting to increase cushioning. The toe section is seamless thanks to a technique called linking, ensuring no seams that can cause discomfort or irritation. Additionally, the instep includes support elastic for a better fit, allowing for long-lasting comfort when worn.
