Juodos

Juodos are a type of traditional Lithuanian footwear, typically worn by men. They are characterized by their simplicity and functionality, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the Lithuanian countryside. Juodos are usually made from leather and feature a flat sole, a single strap that crosses over the instep, and a simple, often decorative buckle. The upper part of the shoe is typically made from a single piece of leather, which is stitched together to form the shoe's shape. Juodos are often worn with traditional Lithuanian clothing, such as a kilt or a long shirt, and are a symbol of Lithuanian cultural heritage. They are also popular among tourists and fashion enthusiasts for their unique design and craftsmanship. Juodos are typically worn with socks, and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. They are a staple of Lithuanian footwear and a testament to the country's rich cultural history.
