How common are tabi boots in Japan?

I heard tabi boots are increasingly popular in Japan. They are used by workers construction, but more are now being used by civilians. Would fresh and regular street shoes in America? I am a man really wants get a pair, but if I do, I do not know whether to take to school. I want to start a trend, but I do not know what others think. Is it like this in Japan?

I do not know where they get the information, but no tabi boots are popular in Japan. They are only for construction workers and other workers blue. It is very strange for them to school. What kind of clothes you think you coordinate well with tabi boots? If you want to set a trend, should be considered "a cold person "or" innovative "to be picked up by early adopters early majority'','','','' y''mayoría late,''respectively. And people actually cool not "intend" to establish trends. I recommend that boots should tabi only on Halloween.
