History

Babouches (from the Persian papush – pa, foot, and push, cover) have a history that goes back centuries: in fact, it is estimated that they appeared in the 3rd century BC! They appeared in the Arab-Muslim world and were worn by women in order to hide their toes, out of modesty. Men quickly adopted them for their convenience.

This convenient aspect is what the babushiers, as they are called nowadays, are looking for.
