Crafted from Wanzai ramie fabric—an iconic Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage with a 1,600-year weaving history—our Breathable & Sweat-Absorbing Summer Fabric Home Shoes blend ancient craftsmanship with modern comfort needs. Originating from Wanzai County, Jiangxi Province (the hometown of Chinese Ramie Fabric), each pair is handmade by artisans inheriting the national-level "Wanzai Ramie Weaving Technique," which was listed in China’s National Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2008. Unlike ordinary synthetic or cotton home shoes, our ramie fabric home shoes leverage the natural properties of ramie fiber to solve summer foot discomfort, making them an ideal choice for households pursuing eco-friendliness, tradition, and daily comfort.
Our home shoes feature a upper and insole made of 100% hand-woven Wanzai ramie fabric, with a non-slip rubber outsole for safety on indoor floors (wood, tile, or carpet). The ramie fabric used undergoes over 20 traditional handcrafting processes: from planting high-quality ramie in Wanzai’s mineral-rich alkaline water areas, to "dew bleaching" (a natural method using morning dew to whiten and soften fibers without chemicals), hand-spinning ramie into yarn, and weaving it into dense yet breathable fabric. The upper design adopts a loose, low-cut style to fit most foot shapes, while the insole is slightly padded with ramie fiber to enhance cushioning without compromising breathability. Each pair bears subtle hand-weaving marks, reflecting the uniqueness of Intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship—no two pairs are exactly the same. The neutral color palette (off-white, light gray, natural beige) matches various home decor styles, from minimalist to bohemian.

Q: Is the ramie fabric scratchy?
A: No. Our ramie fabric undergoes natural dew bleaching and softening processes, so it feels smooth to the touch, not scratchy. It becomes even softer after the first wash.
Q: Can these home shoes be washed?
A: Yes. We recommend hand washing with mild detergent (avoid bleach) and air-drying in the shade. Machine washing may damage the hand-woven fabric.
Q: Are they available in different sizes?
A: Yes. We offer sizes from EU 35 to EU 46, covering most adult foot sizes. Please refer to our size chart (with foot length measurements) to choose the right size.
Q: Is the non-slip outsole effective on wet tile floors?
A: Yes. The outsole is made of high-traction rubber with a textured pattern, which provides strong grip even on wet tile floors, ensuring safety.
Q: What makes Wanzai ramie fabric different from other ramie fabrics?
A: Wanzai ramie fabric uses a unique "round yarn" weaving technique (vs. flat yarn from other regions) and is made from ramie grown in Wanzai’s alkaline water areas, resulting in finer, more durable fibers with better breathability.
