handmade fabric waraji sandals / 手作布履鞋

These waraji sandals are made with fabrics ( recycled and new). They are soooooooooooooooo comfortable to wear and unique. They fit for all kinds of foot shapes and are very healthy for your feet. It takes a lot of time to make a pair of waraji, but I really enjoy it. I get to match all the pattern and fabrics. I wear them in the house and hemp waraji outdoors. I will post the hemp waraji sandals soon. ^^Since they are so comfortable and easy to wear, the foot sizes are not really important. Japanese wear their waraji sticking out their toes. Try a pair if you feel like giving your feet a treat.
Note that because they are made with fabrics, the soles are softer than normal shoes. These two pairs are sturdy enough. If you would like me to sew felt on the bottom to make them even stronger at the bottoms, there is an additional fee of 2.00.










These green pair are made for spring. At least that's what I was thinking when I made them. ^^
They are made with soft cotton( new).
Size: 25 cm long X 11 cm wide in the middle
Material: soft cotton( green and rose pattern, bio- disposable hemp rope.
price:24.00.















These blue pair are made with recycled fabrics (jeans +blue sweater)
I made hemp rope loops at the end of the heel for decoration ( I call them, little ears,小耳朵) and you can also put stings or laces through them and tight them around your ankles to make new looks. Feel free to wear them outdoors too. The bottoms might get dirty, but your feet will be breathing~
