Our Wool: From Nepal to Your Feet

At Kuuma Shoes, we believe that the story behind a product is just as important as the product itself. This philosophy drives us to create felt shoes that not only provide comfort and style but also tell a tale of craftsmanship, tradition, and sustainability. Our journey begins in the beautiful, mountainous regions of Nepal, where we source and craft our wool.

The Heart of Our Wool: Nepal

Nepal is renowned for its rich history in wool production and felt making. The high-altitude pastures, clean environment, and traditional farming practices result in wool that is of exceptional quality. We source our wool from local farmers who have been raising sheep for generations. This ensures that we get the best raw materials while supporting the local economy and preserving age-old farming techniques.

The Art of Felt Making

Felt making is an intricate process that has been passed down through generations in Nepalese communities. It begins with the shearing of sheep, followed by the cleaning and carding of the wool to prepare it for felting. The wool is then carefully layered and treated with natural soap and water, before being hand-rolled and shaped into the desired form. This meticulous process results in a durable, breathable, and comfortable material that is perfect for footwear.

Handcrafted with Care

Each pair of our felt shoes is handcrafted by skilled artisans in Nepal. These artisans take great pride in their work, ensuring that every stitch and every detail meets our high standards of quality. By creating our shoes in Nepal, we are able to provide meaningful employment to local communities and support sustainable, fair-trade practices. Our artisans are paid fair wages and work in safe, respectful environments.

Sustainability and Ethics

Sustainability is at the core of our business. Wool is a renewable resource, and our felt-making process is environmentally friendly, using minimal water and energy. By sourcing and producing our shoes in Nepal, we also reduce our carbon footprint compared to mass production methods. Our commitment to ethical practices extends to every aspect of our business, from sourcing materials to the final product that reaches your feet.
