Traditional Polish Folk Mountain Shoes "Karpce" Size 6





































Here is the story... I LOVE these shoes. I get a pair as often as I can, as they are made of an extremely soft and light leather with a hand-made sole and with frequent wear, they usually last about a year and a half (if worn as slippers they last a lot longer). I had a relative bring me a pair from Poland, but sadly they are too small!! They are handmade in the mountains, and have adorable braided leather throughout, a small strap over the foot with cute folklore prints.

Details: this is a brand-new, never worn pair of shoes/slippers. They are approximately size 6 (measured from the bottom sole: 9.5 inches lengthwise, 2.5 inches from the middle of the foot (the slender part). Because they are handmade, the sizing is not exact, but I usually wear a 6.5 and they are definitely too small for me.

I have included a photo of the actual shoes that are for sale (unworn) but PLEASE NOTE: the photo on the carpet with the sparkly socks is simply a photo of MY pair in action, if you will... The color changes with wear to a nice tan leather and they fit to your foot the more you sport them.

I am selling them for $20 plus shipping for $5 in the US. If outside of the US please let me know in the comments.

Deadline: Dec. 6th and I would send them out Dec. 7th!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Wow Justyna,

*IF* the next time a relative happens to come into town with another pair for you, I would certainly pay for a pair of my own, too (I collect "folk" clothing.") I am a size 37 7. Let me know they look so cool on you!

Best, tien
