Kids Tengries Walkabout

Young explorers deserve to discover the world in comfort. These soft and pliable wool walkabout slippers from Kyrgies are made with durable, non-slip rubber soles and elastic laces. They will adapt snugly to small feet, while still allowing little learners to pull them on with ease. Available in cold gray, magenta, and heathered navy, these slippers are handcrafted by artisans in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. All of Kyrgies’ shoes are made with low-impact dyes. These slippers use a thicker, vegetable-tanned leather on the sole, which is a technique that avoids using chromium — a potentially toxic metal that can pollute waterways.
