Item Description
As early as 7,000 years ago, ancient Chinese were making straw shoes like these using bamboo needles and flax thread. Many kinds of grass can be used to make shoes. In ancient times, almost all people across China wore straw shoes, excepting nomadic tribes. Straw footwear was worn by all, whether they were nobles, men of letters or farmers. Even today, local farmers still weave straw shoes for daily use and export.
This pair of artisan crafted sandals brings that tradition to life. A great conversation piece or for the Asian crafts collector.
