Our bon odori sensei required that the women's zori <em>be</em> wood while the men's were supposed to be bamboo. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geta_%28footwear%29" rel="nofollow">Geta</a> are more elevated and kinda resemble zori on two wood blocks. These days zori are made from both man-made and natural materials. If you don't believe me check out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zori" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia's definition</a>... @Yume, “Are you sure you’re not confused?” Pretty sure I’m not.

Those look more like geta than zori. Zori traditionally were weaved with straw, rope, or old cloth. Wooden Japanese sandals are geta. Are you sure you’re not confused?

That woulda been perfect for these flip-flops. I wish I had seen that earlier :(. So do yourself a favor and buy the foam paint instead of the acrylic if you end up getting the spongy variety of ff; it'll stick way better I should think.
