.These are my first barefoot sandals. I've started wearing them every day. :))
The sandals are very comfortable and the quality is excellent.
The tradition of handcrafted footwear in Türkiye dates back thousands of years, rooted in Anatolia’s rich cultural, geographical, and artisanal heritage. Long before modern footwear technologies emerged, local craftsmen produced shoes that closely followed the natural shape and movement of the human foot. These early forms of footwear can be considered the historical foundation of what we now describe as barefoot shoes.
In Ancient Egypt, sandals made from leather, papyrus, or palm fibers were thin and lightweight, offering basic protection against heat and rough surfaces without restricting foot motion. These sandals had no elevated heel and allowed the toes to spread naturally, supporting balance and efficient walking.
In Anatolia, footwear was traditionally made by hand using locally sourced materials such as leather, wool, felt, and natural fibers. Shoemakers—known historically as kunduracı or yemenici—designed shoes that prioritized durability, flexibility, and comfort rather than rigid structure.
