Anyone knowing of a vendor of Kendoh accupressure massage sandals in US, please reply here or send pm to me.

thanks,

oops. Misspelled -- s/be Kenkoh with two "k"s. Made by Yasmac Company in Japan. Their website is in Japanese, the English translation by Google mentions no way to find a retailer.

Answer 1

Looking up Kendoh acupressure massage sandals on the Internet, I came across that the Kendoh should be spelt Kendo. The first citation explains that it's a sport; the second citation is that in Kendo, Zori sandals are worn; and then followed by several Internet sites to buy the Zori sandals.

The sport of Kendo is performed on hardwood floors (like a basketball court), on which competitors formally wear hakama and armor (but no shoes)…according to http://www.uky.edu/StudentOrgs/Kendo/about.html.

Zori, or tatami, straw sandals traditionally worn in Japan for Iaido and Kendo or casual daily wear.

I found several online stores that sell Zori sandals:
