The proud history of shoe embroidery in Yazd

Types of traditional hand-embroidered shoes in Yazd

Giweh Yazdi; Cool and comfortable masterpiece

Giveh can be considered the most famous type of traditional shoes in Yazd. This traditional clog consists of two main parts: upper and sole (bed).

Giveh top is usually spun from cotton thread and woven very tightly. The art of weaving is done by rural and urban women artists who delicately put the knots together. This mesh structure allows air to flow easily inside the shoe and prevents sweating and foot odor.

Cuminum also has its own story. In very traditional and excellent models, which can also be found in the Mousavi store, the sole is made of pressed fabrics (old bed) or buffalo leather. This type of sole has great flexibility and reduces the pressure on the spine. Of course, newer models with modern medical soles are also produced, which are a combination of tradition and technology.

Handmade leather shoes

Besides Giveh, Yazd also has a long history in the production of hand-embroidered leather shoes. Yazd's traditional hand-embroidered leather shoes are made using natural cow, goat or camel leather. The main difference between these shoes and industrial examples is in the way they are tanned and sewn. The leathers used in the workshops of the contracting party Mousavi Store are completely naturally tanned and do not contain harmful chemicals. The sewing of these shoes is done by hand with silk or wax threads, which makes it several times stronger than machine-glued shoes.

Why should we wear traditional Yazd shoes?

In today's modern world where foreign brands have taken over the market, why should you go for Yazd traditional shoes? The answer lies in "health" and "authenticity". In the following, we point out the most important advantages of using these products.

Foot and spine health

The foot is the second heart of man. Using inappropriate shoes can lead to back pain, knee pain and skin problems. Due to the ergonomic design and use of natural materials, Yazd's traditional hand-stitched shoes take the shape of the foot and eliminate local pressure. The natural fibers present in the cotton make the static electricity of the body to be discharged and the feeling of relaxation is transferred to the person. Many of the customers of Mousavi store are those who have suffered from chronic foot pain for years and have experienced a significant improvement by switching to Yazdi hand-embroidered shoes and shoes.

Say goodbye to foot odor and fungus

One of the main problems of sports and industrial shoes is foot sweating and unpleasant smell. This moist and dark environment is a paradise for fungi and bacteria. But in traditional shoes of Yazd, especially giwes, air is constantly circulating. Cotton threads absorb moisture and direct it out. If you are one of the people who wear shoes for long hours, we suggest getting a pair of original shoes from Mousavi store to say goodbye to foot odor forever.

High durability and longevity

Machine shoes usually have a short life and after a few months of use, they lose their shape or tear. But Yazd's traditional hand-embroidered shoes are made in such a way that they will work for you for years. The strong knots and basic stitches of leather shoes have a very high resistance to wear and tear. Buying from a reputable store like Mousavi Store guarantees that you will get a quality and durable product that is worth the money.

Features of the best local models in Yazd

In order to be able to distinguish the best local models, you need to pay attention to a few key points. The authentic local models of Yazd have special appearance and structural features that distinguish them from counterfeit samples.

1. Fineness of texture: In genuine fabrics, the top texture should be fine, uniform and without blind or coarse knots. The finer the threads and the denser the texture, the higher the quality of the yarn. In Mousavi store, you can see examples of the most finely woven Yazdi givas that shine like a work of art.
2. Leather quality: In local leather shoes, the leather should smell natural and be flexible. Dry and brittle leathers indicate poor quality or improper tanning.
3. Sole and sole: The best local models have a sole that is neither too hard to irritate the foot nor too soft to wear out quickly. The use of buffalo leather in the sole indicates the highest quality of a traditional shoe.

Cotton fabrics are usually washable. You can wash them with cold water and mild detergent (such as soap powder). But the important thing is that you should never throw them in the washing machine. After washing, put it in the shade and in the air to dry. Drying in direct sunlight may cause the fabric to yellow. To keep the shape of the gyveh, you can fill it with newspaper so that it does not change shape when it dries.

For leather shoes:

Hand-embroidered leather shoes are the enemy of water. Never wash them. To clean the leather, use a damp cloth and dry it immediately. The use of natural waxes and special oils for leather, which can also be obtained at the Mousavi store, keeps the leather soft and prevents it from cracking. Also, try not to put leather shoes in very wet or very dry environments for a long time.
