Our PALO slides with its tough looking make and sturdy soles retell us how Filipinos value discipline, respect and strong family ties in every home.
TSINELAS (or slippers) in the Philippines are not only worn on our feet. It is a classic Filipino parent’s favorite article to inculcate discipline into their children as a last resort. This classic Asian correctional practice, is known as "Pamamalo", hence the name Palo which is an efficient and amusing tool to shoo away flies or insects too. These durable slip slaps serve many purposes and have been a way of life in the Philippines since the old times. #tsinelasculture
