Krpce are a typical Slovak oldest folk leather shoe. The history of origin goes back to 9-10th century.

The material used for its manufacture, is a natural leather.

Krpce can be weared by women, men and children, too. The top of these shoes is cut out with one piece of ground leather. Further garbage processing gives them the desired shape on the foot. For increased abrasion resistance, they have a padded and stitched outsole made of durable leather. From a practical point of view, it is not advisable to have a bare foot. Walking (even dancing) is more comfortable if thicker socks of sheep's wool are dressed. The whole manufacture process takes around 2 hours.
