SASAWASHI ROOM SHOES, GREY
DESCRIPTION
Breathable Japanese-style room shoes made from Sasawashi's one-of-a-kind fabric
A pair of room shoes is an essential part of every Japanese home. This breathable version of a Japanese-style home shoe is made from Sasawashi fabric, a pill-free material that effortlessly absorbs moisture and odours from the skin. The combination of antibacterial kumazasa extract and a breathable washi weave keeps these room shoes feeling fresh and comfortable in any season. Designed to be worn with or without socks, Sasawashi's Japanese-style home shoes can be enjoyed year-round.
The inside of the shoe is also made of SASAWASHI, which absorbs moisture and keeps the shoe clean. The outer soles are made of a suede-like material for soft walking comfort.
Kumazasa is a bamboo native to Japan and Sakhalin. Kumazasa has been valued for many of its properties such as as a disinfectant, antiseptic, expectorant and even a remedy for bad breath.
Washi is traditional Japanese paper processed by hand using fibres from the inner bark of the gampi tree, the mitsumata shrub Edgeworthia chrysantha, or the paper mulberry
Washi is generally tougher than ordinary paper made from >wood pulp and is used in many traditional arts. Origami shodō and ukiyo-e were all produced using washi. Washi was also used to make various everyday goods like clothes, household goods, and toys, as well as vestments and ritual objects for priests and statues of Buddha

Room Shoe Sizing Tips: These Japanese-style room shoes are designed for maximum comfort and are very forgiving when it comes to sizing, but it is important that the user's foot is not larger than the footbed. Please use the sizing chart above to inform product selections and customer decisions. Note that, in addition to the US sizing equivalents outlined here, foot measurements can be taken in centimeters and compared to the Japanese sizes, which are also measured in centimeters If a person falls between sizes, they may want to round up, and if they have particularly wide feet, they should also consider moving up a size.
Slippers, a standard item for years
Feet sweat and get hot. The soles of our feet have as many as 300 sweat glands per square centimeter, and at times, both feet produce 200 ml of sweat per day. Bacteria on the surface of the skin becomes active due to the moisture in the sweat, and feed on the wax and grease of the skin, increasing rapidly and producing an odor. This is where SASAWASHI slippers come into play. SASAWASHI, with its excellent sweat and moisture absorption properties, quickly removes dampness and has an antibacterial and deodorizing effect. Please try Sasa Washi slippers and feel the difference.
Room Shoes
The charm of these shoes is that they can be used comfortably all year round. In summer, you can wear them barefoot to feel dry and comfortable, and in winter, you can wear them with socks to keep from getting cold. The back of the slipper is made of two pieces of SASAWASHI laminated together. The back part of the slipper is made of two pieces of SASAWASHI, so the extra insulation shuts out the cold. These slippers are light and soft to wear, and are highly recommended for relaxing at home.
Comfortable Room Shoes
1. Shuts out the Cold
The back part of the slipper is made of two pieces of SASAWASHI, which is recommended for people with naturally cold feet.
2. Comfortable and Smooth
