A Korean shoe brand. Launched in New York. Built for travelers.
It started with a problem we saw every day. We run a guesthouse in New York. Every week, guests arrive from all over the world, excited to explore the city, and within a day or two the same thing happens: their feet give out before the city does.
Heavy sneakers. Stiff boots. Shoes that looked fine in a suitcase but felt like a burden after hours on Manhattan sidewalks. Every time, we thought: there has to be a better option.
Then we found Bluemountain.
Bluemountain is a Korean footwear brand founded in 2013, built around lightweight, breathable woven shoes. Every Travel Slip-On has a hand-woven elastic upper that flexes with your foot and lets air circulate. At about 174 g per shoe (men’s US 8), it is easy to carry and easy to forget you are wearing.
The shoes are designed by our team in Korea and made by our long-time manufacturing partner in China, to our specifications and quality checks.
One pair for the whole trip
Our goal is simple: the next time you pack for a trip, you only need one pair of shoes. We are a small operation, and when you write to us you are talking to the people who chose this brand and stand behind it.
