Somehow the word gets out when your having a birthday...
Some of Chris' Saudi co-workers gave him these!
Chris is afraid to wear them around town not only because they are uniquely hand-made but also they are "Tribal Wear". What if he walks into the wrong tribe turf unknowingly?
I jest......the note that came with them said:
Happy Year (In Arabic)
Those are traditional hand-made sandals, which used to indicate the root of the person wearing them.
Fact: They expand/shrink to fit your feet size "Intelligent Arabian Sandals"

Don't worry we are straight:)
They are way too beautiful to wear so Chris and I decided we'd rather display them up as art!
What a great birthday present! They're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am all for displaying them as art. Did the note really include the "don't worry we are straight part?" What a hoot! Do Saudi men wear sandals like these?
ReplyDeleteYes Jen that's what the note said. Yes I see them wear the Payless version of these all the time.
