shkumërat

Shkumërat, also known as shkumëra, are a type of traditional Albanian footwear. They are typically made from leather and feature a simple, open design with a low heel and a flat sole. Shkumërat are often worn with traditional Albanian clothing, such as the fustanella and the çelesh. The name "shkumërat" comes from the Albanian word "shkumë," which means "shoe." These shoes are known for their durability and comfort, making them a popular choice for both everyday wear and special occasions. Shkumërat are also a symbol of Albanian cultural heritage and are often worn during traditional festivals and celebrations. The design and construction of shkumërat can vary depending on the region and the specific craftsmanship of the maker. Despite their simplicity, shkumërat are an important part of Albanian traditional attire and continue to be worn by many Albanians today.
