Using fabrics and waste materials such as old sheets,jute coffee sacks, or linen, peasant women made shoes for the whole family with a little imagination and a lot of ingenuity.They then brought them to Venice, where they became popular among gondoliers who appreciated that their non-slip rubber soles molded to the shape of their foot and wouldn’t damage the precious painted wood of their beloved gondolas.
