Vietnam Tire Sandals

VUA DÉP LỐP — A Heritage You Can Wear

From a wartime necessity to a modern icon of sustainable craftsmanship.

Where It All Began — 1947

In 1947, at the Việt Bắc Revolutionary Base, President Hồ Chí Minh received a pair of sandals cut from a captured French military tire. He wore them for more than two decades, and the humble design soon stood for resilience, independence, and the Vietnamese spirit.

The image of President Hồ Chí Minh wearing simple tire sandals has long been familiar to Vietnamese people. Original wartime tire‑sandals preserved in a museum display, showing the iconic crossed‑strap construction.

From Survival Gear to a Cultural Icon

Originally made for necessity, these sandals quickly became known for one thing — reliability.
Over time, they evolved from survival gear into an everyday essential, trusted for their durability and simplicity. What began as a practical choice is now a symbol of resilience you can still wear today.

A Living Heritage

In Hà Nội today, hands‑on workshops teach the original technique—transforming discarded tires into something “almost like new.” Many visitors describe the experience as “walking his path — literally.”
