Diversity

The last couple of days have been interesting with the shoe calendar.  Nothing I absolutely love, but they have been rather diverse this week, which I appreciate.

 

For instance, these are from the 80s and are worn by brides of the Hadendwa tribe of Eastern Sudan.  I find that fascinating.  Do I want them?  Not really, because I hate stuff between my toes, but I love the colors, and love that they are worn for a specific purpose and have special meaning for a group of people.

 

 

Tooled leather from the 50s.  They kind of make my feet sweat just looking at them and their non-breathable-ness, but I like the detail.

 

 

Also from the 50s, but this time from China.

 

 

Eh.  Another bootie-type shoe.  I'm kind of whatever on these, except for the color, of course.  But hey, the rest of the week had some character!  Different decades and countries!  Yay!
