Solh Giveh
Giveh or Givah (Persian: گیوه) is a soft, comfortable, durable, and handmade shoe that is common in several parts of Iran, especially in rural and mountainous areas of Kermanshah Province. The production centers of Giveh are the provinces of Yazd and Kermanshah in Iran.
Giveh is made up of two parts: sole and upper. The sole is usually made of rubber or leather and the upper is made of fabric created using an ancient technique known as nalbinding (not weaving) that pre-dates knitting or crochet. Before the arrival of the rubber industry to the area, Giveh-makers would use a kind of wild-bull leather to make giveh and the upper was made of wool or cotton nalbinding fabric. Most rich people would wear them. Since the arrival of the rubber industry, lower-class people have used rubber as the sole of their giveh.
