Our Latest Addition to the Kyrgies Family
We’re excited to introduce you to the newest addition to the Kyrgies workshop—Wovens. Lightweight and unstructured, Wovens are roomy with a lofty warmth. They’re also foldable and packable, perfect for tucking in your overnight bag or backpack for easy travel.
Wovens are ideal for anyone with foot sensitivity who prefers a lightly-shaped house shoe. For additional warmth or gentle support, layer them over socks.
Watch the video below to experience the making of Kyrgies Wovens for yourself.
Traditional Techniques
Our durable wool Wovens house shoes are created through an intricate spinning, weaving, and hand sewing process. Designed to harness the warmth, moisture-wicking, and long-wearing properties of the valley’s local wool.
Wovens reflect our commitment to supporting the craft traditions and communities of Kyrgyzstan. The process of making this product is based on the traditional "zhalpy" weaving technique on the traditional Ormek collapsible loom. This technique is found in the remote Alay Valley of southern Kyrgyzstan.
