Blown Away!!! These shoes couldn’t of been more perfect! The fit, the feel of the leather. I’ve never seen better custom craftsmanship. Everyone asks about them and says they look so comfy. I tell them I don’t even feel like I’m wearing shoes! So thankful!

I bought these for my husband to wear around the house and he loves them! He wants another pair! The quality of the leather is just so nice and smooth and very comfortable and the uniqueness of the shoes definitely worth the price

Great quality and fit. Quality is excellent and the shoes are much more comfortable than expected. I've tried wearing other loafers without socks and never found a pair that were as comfortable as these.

LOVE!! Love love love my shoes, It does take a little bit of wear before they mold to your foot but comfortable day one and just continue to get more comfortable. Great shoes all the way around, My feet are so happy!

Cute and comfy. I love these shoes, their simplicity is so unusual and natural. They are super good quality, handsewn; I can see them lasting forever and getting softer as time goes on.

I wear them pretty much every day. They felt very different from other shoes I wear and I was a little skeptical at first, but the longer I wore them, the more I seem to like with them. Now it is the only shoe I wear. Also travel friendly.

A+++rating. I love love love my new shoes!! I have had a lot of compliments on the look!! They are easy on and easy off. They are very comfortable and I love the look!! I can wear the color I chose with almost anything I wear!

I can actually love these
I ordered these shoes, hesitantly. I was looking for a barefoot shoe that matched my style - natural AND classy. I’ve tried other barefoot shoes before that just didn’t hit the classy mark enough for me. These did!

Unique Construction

Each pair of Yems is handmade by skilled artisans in Turkey, where the tradition of shoemaking has been perfected for generations.

Working with leather is a process that requires more than just technical skill—it demands an understanding of the material’s natural qualities and how it evolves over time. Our artisans, who speak the language of leather, carefully select and prepare every piece, ensuring it performs at its best in both durability and comfort for years to come.

SHOP WAYFARERS

Hand-Stitching

For select styles, we incorporate meticulous hand-stitching into the sole construction. Using heavy-gauge 100% cotton thread rolled in beeswax, this technique enhances durability and flexibility, ensuring each pair offers both strength and a unique, artisanal finish.

Italian Rubber Outsole

A thin layer of Italian rubber is added in select styles for extra grip and long-lasting wear, while maintaining the flexible, natural feel of the shoe.

Inner Lining

Crafted from soft, breathable cowhide leather, the inner lining keeps your feet comfortable and fresh with natural airflow that helps reduce odors. We suggest going no-socks.

Upper

The leather upper is made from high-quality, locally-sourced cowhide, ensuring durability and a sustainable, premium feel with every step.

Better Future with Better Leather

By partnering with tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), we strive for unmatched transparency and a minimized environmental footprint throughout our supply chain. Our commitment ensures that the leather we use is not only a by-product of the food industry but also locally sourced, which significantly reduces CO2 emissions—an approach that is virtually unheard of in the modern footwear industry.

Unlike synthetic alternatives like vegan leather, which often rely on plastics and petroleum-based materials that can contribute to microplastic pollution and environmental degradation, responsibly made leather is durable, natural, and biodegradable.
