medium-height geta
Rare term for geta (wooden clogs) of medium height, between low (駒下駄) and high (高下駄) styles. Mostly encountered in traditional footwear contexts.
I hear that people in the old days wore medium-height geta for everyday use.
High-height geta; 中下駄 is shorter than these.
Compound of 中 (medium) and 下駄 (geta). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term straightforwardly describes a medium-height style of traditional wooden clogs.
