-The //Type 38 Jika-Tabi// is a model of [[wp>Jika-tabi]] (written 地下足袋 in [[language:Yamataigo|Yamataigo]]) that was introduced into service in [[timeline:ye_38]]. They can be used in place of boots in most [[stararmy:start]] uniforms. They are excellent for walking, running, and climbing. A pair of jika-tabi cost just 30 [[faction:yamatai:ks]] at the [[stararmy:clothing_store|Star Army Clothing Store]]--significantly less expensive than standard [[stararmy:uniforms:footwear|Star Army leather boots]]. The jika tabi should be worn with tabi socks (not regular socks) or "[[stararmy:uniforms:tights|tabi tights]]."+The //Type 38 Jika-Tabi// is a model of [[wp>Jika-tabi]] (written 地下足袋 in [[language:Yamataigo|Yamataigo]]) that was introduced into service in [[timeline:ye_38]].

 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
-Starting in [[timeline:ye_37]], the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]]'s military, the [[stararmy:start]], began allowing the replacement of boots with jika-tabi in its uniforms. The first uniform they were authorized to be used with was the [[stararmy:uniforms:field_uniform_type_37]]. These were very popular. In [[timeline:ye_38]], the Star Army created a new design of jika-tabi that was usable with more types of uniform, including the Class B duty uniforms such as the [[stararmy:uniforms:duty_uniform_type_35]] and [[stararmy:uniforms:coverall_type_36]].+Starting in [[timeline:ye_37]], the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]]'s military, the [[stararmy:start]], began allowing the replacement of boots with jika-tabi in its uniforms.

-The jika-tabi is composed of sturdy, matte black fabric and has a divided toe area. It is about the same height as a combat boot. The outer fabric is composed of flame-resistant meta-aramid material and a layer of stretched polytetrafluoroethylene, which is waterproof but breathable. Water beads off of it and it allows moisture to escape, keeping soldiers' feet dry. The boot also has a reduced n-IR signature. The interior fabric is made of white silk.  It is opened and closed at a seam along the rear using twelve metal tab closures called //kohaze// that hook into loops of fabric.+The jika-tabi is composed of sturdy, matte black fabric and has a divided toe area.

 It has a firm yet flexible rubber sole that allows the wearers to feel the ground but also provides protection. The rubber sole is gray colored and has a heavily textured surface. They have better traction than regular boots do. It has a firm yet flexible rubber sole that allows the wearers to feel the ground but also provides protection.
