the traditional saying noted at the bottom of the page is interesting, a reference for it and the original japanese form would be more encyclopaedic. Is it possible the author could provide such information?
This article is quite short compared to the versions of it in other languages. Should I add a stub template? A Max J 17:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Wait, doesn't the thong go between the second and third toes, not first and second as "how to spot a jap" would suggest?
No, between the first and second toes is correct. Due to the equal lengths of the straps on each side and the path around the outside of the foot being longer, the foot tends to sit at a slight angle on the sole. That is with the heel towards the inside and the toes facing outwards a bit. This actually improves walking ease as most people walk with their feet pointed slightly outwards while allowing the straight teeth on the geta to walk forwards. 75.69.160.252 00:53, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Not worn inside the house? Article should clarify. Johnbod 18:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
why are the shoes elevated so high? that's one of the most distinct features of the shoes, yet the article does not explain this at all. - 134.84.102.195 04:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
"
What I don't understand is why the center of gravity so far back, are you suppose to keep it even while you walk or lean forward? I think this is rather important info since it's you can't understand it's function otherwise. 50.99.131.84 ( talk) 05:56, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

i've seen wooden trays referred to as "sushi geta". Sure, the word is the same, but are the objects related in any way? (besides, you know, being made of wood) Mang ( talk) 06:34, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

There is an athletic version with just one tooth per shoe called the Getta (two ts) that is shorter.
