Straw Shoes

Ewha Womans University Museum

Ewha Womans University Museum
Seoul, South Korea

Straw shoes with four core ropes woven to the sole. The heel strap was strengthened by weaving paper mulberry bark, and the shoe strap was tied with a knot in the middle so the shoe would not easily come off. The wooden shoe frames—the ones in the front, the rear, and the wedge—remain intact.
