Does anyone know where to purchase tetsu geta? I read about
them in a book and would like to get a pair for training. Has
anyone used them before? Did they help improve performance?

Do you mean iron clogs/rainshoes? What on earth would be the point of such a thing? And where did you come across such an item?

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Pre-modern ankle weights.

I take it that the pricing is in yen. What is the conversion from yen to us dollars? Thanks for the site, I've been
trying to find these for a really long time.

Hereīs a link to a site where you can find a yen "calculator"

I donīt know how actual it is but maybe it helps you!

Robert,

On the site, there are different wieights for the geta. Are there
different sizes as well, or does one size fit all? I wear a size
11 shoe if this helps. Thanks
