Cloth shoes are shoes made of fabric and have a long history of over 3000 years. The earliest handmade cloth shoes were found in the kneeling statues of Western Zhou warriors unearthed in Houma, Shanxi. In 2009, the technique of making handmade cloth shoes with a thousand layered sole was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage by the Ministry of Culture to protect this ancient handicraft. Cloth shoes are turning around in fashion, becoming a representative of "Chinese shoes" and returning to the daily lives of every Chinese person.
The characteristics of cloth shoes include breathability, leisure, comfort, environmental friendliness, and lightness, which are deeply loved by the general public and have become an indispensable part of people's clothing. The craftsmanship of making cloth shoes is quite exquisite, with more than ten processes including lining, cutting shoe samples, edging, filling shoe soles, receiving shoe soles, sealing shoes, cutting shoe edges, edging, shoe last, baking, etc. Old Beijing cloth shoes have developed into multiple series, such as the original ecological series (traditional thousand layer sole series), sports and leisure series, fashion style series, children's series, health and wellness series, etc.
Cloth shoes not only carry the historical heritage of China, but their craftsmanship also reflects a profound cultural heritage. Especially in spring and autumn, cloth shoes are particularly important due to their warmth and breathability. Many styles use cotton lining, which is not only soft and comfortable, but also keeps the feet warm to a certain extent. The matching ability of cloth shoes is also strong. Whether it's jeans, casual pants, or sports pants, a fashionable and versatile pair of cloth shoes can become the finishing touch of a look
