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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
