Jipsin are Korean traditional sandals made of straw. Koreans have worn straw sandals since ancient times. They are categorized as yi (이, 履), shoes with a short height, and the specific name can vary according to the materials used, as with samsin, wanggolsin, cheongol jisin, and budeulsin.[1][2] In the Joseon period, jipsin were worn mostly by commoners, working farmers, and scholars while on outings. The Jipsin was also used for private prescriptions to save mothers at the crossroads of death, as it was recorded in <Forest Economy(Hangul: 산림경제): Agricultural and Family Life Book compiled by a practical scholar during King Sukjong of Joseon>. It also served as the manure needed for pumpkin farming.[3]
Today's Jipsin style is inherited from the Joseon period.
