Best Answer

While acting as a Geisha, she wears tabis. The tabi is a velvet low ankle sock with a sewn-on sole of canvas, and a separate section for the large toe (like a mitten). It is fastened with two flat metal hooks at the heel. When walking out-of-doors, she puts on getas. The geta is the wooden sole supported by two wooden blocks (front and back) and held on with two cords, like rubber flip-flops.

The shoes they wear are called 'Zori' most are black lacquered that resemble high flip flops. Apprentice Geisha or Maiko wear very high wedge Zori and full fledged Geisha wear low Zori or flat Zori shoes. They always wear 'Tabi' socks with them. These socks are split after the first toe to wear the thong Zori, sometimes Tabi socks have leather pad bottoms for less wear.
