Our Mission
Khraav was born from the idea that footwear can honour heritage while respecting the planet. The original khraav were wooden shoes carved by Kashmiri artisans to protect feet from snow when modern shoes were unaffordable. They were fashioned from locally harvested willow, mulberry or pecan wood and secured with rope or leather straps. As plastic and rubber footwear became commonplace, this craft disappeared.
Our mission is to revive this forgotten tradition and elevate it for the modern connoisseur. We design wooden footwear using sustainable materials and ethical labour practices, transforming a humble necessity into a refined luxury accessory. Each design embodies the resilience and warmth of its origins while offering the comfort and elegance you expect today.
Beyond the aesthetic, our mission is to empower wearers with confidence and comfort. Whether it’s a business meeting or a casual stroll, Khraav shoes are made to support every step of your journey. We are dedicated to delivering an elevated experience for mid‑ to high‑income customers who appreciate artistry, exclusivity and sustainable luxury.
