ETHNIC FOOTWEAR
5 Attachment(s)
In my collection I have 3 pairs of shoes but only the vaguest idea of their geographical origin. All appear to have some age and I have owned them since the early 1980s . Any help in placing their identity would be much appreciated.

The middle pair looks Moroccan to me...

Ah, the ingenuity of Humans .

THE FIRST PAIR REMINDS ME OF SOME I SAW IN EGYPT OR MOROCCO I THINK THEY WERE CALLED BABOOSH. THE LAST PICTURE BY RICK SHOWS A BAD CASE OF WATER ON THE FOOT GONE FLAT. YOU ALL HAVE HEARD OF WATER ON THE KNEE :p
|
.........and water on the brain........ :D
|
All true; but when they're worn out you can return them for the deposit .

the 2nd one is morrocan probably from the atlas mountains and generally made of camel leather. I attached a few pics of some recent ones made in that area well 10-15yrs ago. a lot of the soles of these shoes are either heavy leather or worn tires.
