These gomusin shoes are popular in Korea, which are made of rubber with lots of designs on them. I personally haven’t seen colorful designs, but I’ve seen black ones. These could be Crocs of Korea. Lol

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

They look quite comfy.
They’re supposed to be and very easy to clean since it’s made of rubber. In the past they were mainly all in black, and they looked dull. But the bright colors and designs are much more aesthetically pleasing!
Makes sense!
Very dainty for people with dainty feet, not feet like mine that have grown 1/2 size from the wide, heavy walking shoes I wear.
So these are paper representations of rubber shoes? What fun! Did you visit a museum?
These were art displayed at a Korean tea shop in L.A. They were so tiny, colorful, and a modern take on rubber shoes that were usually black in the past. Now, they are made in a variety of colors and designs.
Sweet!!!!
They’re supposed to be very comfortable and nowadays there are lots of colors and designs to choose from. 🙂
