My first pair of Korean shoes



Today I met up with one of my very good Korean friends. It was a fun filled Korean day with traditional food for lunch and a belated Christmas gift. A fab pair of traditional Korean shoes!!! These shoes are called Hwahye or Flower Shoes and are most often seen in bright colours such as red with intricate embroidery. They are absolutely stunning and were usually worn for special occasions.

On a more modern note. For those of you who have a slightly larger foot size, you may be interested to know that with the upturned toe, traditional Korean shoes will make your feet look tiny!
