An Ichiban Multi-Sport Product
Introducing the TABI, named for the boots of light-footed Japanese warriors, is crafted of Matuse’s limestone-based Geoflex with our new proprietary Hydrasilk material - silky smooth to repel water.
The Tabi features strategic perforations and dual rubber in the footbed replicate that barefoot feel. Internal bridged split-toe offers the comforts of a round-toe but the locking bed of a split design for less drag and more foot stability.
SIZING: Booties sold in whole sizes. If you're in a half size we recommend sizing down.

Great fit
Loved the design and quality, and flexibility. had to return only because the sizing is off. I wear a size 11.5 in street shoes, the 11 is quite big and they were out of stock on the smaller size. If they had the size 10 would have absolutely gotten that because I don’t mind a snug boot and the rubber feels very flexible. If they have your size got a pair!
Comfortable boot that allows for great board feel and range of motion!
The size 9 ran a bit loose. I returned it. Sizing could be better. Looks like a good product but didn’t fit me right.
Unlike the suit and gloves I bought, the boots run big. Get at least a 1/2 size smaller than you usually do. They were warm but not toasty. That might have been because they were too big. The price is great though. I can't believe surf shops want over $100 for booties.

Amazing, must buy. I have tried several brands, this is a no brainer for me now. Matuse's products are clutch and worth the investment.
Love these babies boots. They run true to size so I'm glad I didn't size down like I saw others mention. I'm a 10.5 and sometimes an 11 depending on the make of shoe. But I got 11's and they fit great. They are warm, they are sleek, and they flex easily to my feet. No stiffness. They blow away other brands I've tried. Support local and stay away from the big name brands.
I really love my new boots, I only wish they would dry faster on the inside or if it was easier to turn inside out to help drying.
It's fairly easy to put them on, a bit harder to take them out.
I don't loose any stability while surfing and helps in rocky surfaces.
These boots fit perfect. Sized right even with my fat feet. Easy on and off.
Fit nice, I sized down, seem structured well. But, it's not winter yet. And I haven't surf in them.
Super comfy. Slip on and off no problem but still feel secure on the feet. Didn’t even really notice them during the session. This is as much as I can ask for in a boot.
Ordered a half size below my normal shoe size.
Size down! I’m a size 12 shoe, usually go for size 11 booties to stretch to fit, but these 11’s were a size too big off the bat. Other than that, they are very warm for 3 mil, and have amazing board feel. Hoping I can find some size 10’s on sale soon 🤞
Great fit and very durable.
I love them. They feel great. True to size.
Matuse:
The service at Matuse is excellent, they are always trying to improve their already GREAT PROUCTS. They recently resolved an issue for me that was seamless
Thank you
Best booties ever.
This was my first pair of booties so it took a bit to get familiar with the spilt toe, but they are great overall.
I ripped a pair on a fall, but was able to get a discounted pair thanks to a responsive customer support.
I highly recommend Matuse.
Just used them for the first time in still cold New England water.
Warm and comfortable!
Easier to get on and off than My last pair of booties!
True to size, comfortable, warm considering how thin they are. Great booties!
These new booties exceeded my expectations... simply fantastic.
Additionally, putting them on wet the next day seems not as bad... they are still wet and cold but seem to dry much quicker than my old pair.
I recently purchased a pair before a Santa Cruz trip, and they were hands down the best booties you can own
TABI BOOT
I've tried many brands of booties and final came across a pair that fits well, provides great feedback and feel, are warm and seem durable so far. Most comfortable bootie I own! Give em a shot, you won't be disappointed!
by far the best performing, fitting and lasting bootie. I’ve tested against O’Neill, Billabong, Vans, Excel and Solite.
Room for improvement - warmth, would kill for a 5mm pair! and sizes for women. More Tabi Boot!
Love these booties. Good tight fit with a tough flexible sole!. Important when riding a longboard to feel what the board is doing under your feet…. Hopefully they’ll bring out a 5mm in the future…
Fits well and the rubber doesn’t stretch or thin out on the toe box area. Very smart design of taking the thick rubber up the heel (to avoid stretch out where the heel slides in like my 2mm vans).
Great boot, I’m happy with it !
Awesome grip and comfortable fit, easy to put and take off
