Zanzibari Beaded Slippers




This is a pair of handmade and hand beaded leather sandals purchased at the Slipway in Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania.  I have worn them once the entire time I've had them, which I think is a real shame.  Beautiful construction with no fastenings--just a beaded band and a stopper that goes between your first and second toes.  Leather soles with imprinted design on the edges.  Bottom of the foot has a vibram/rubber-like material so you won't have to take them to a cobbler to enhance their durability.

No size marked, but suitable for 8 or 8.5
10" long
4.5" at the widest point

Asking $35 with US shipping included.  Paypal only.
