Dark Green Suede Yemeni Shoes — Hand-Stitched Using a Traditional Turkish Method
Long before "barefoot shoes" was a category, Anatolian artisans were making Yemenis this way: soft sole, wide toe space, seamless slip-on fit. This dark green pair follows the same method.

Customer Questions
Customer Questions
What is a Yemeni shoe? It's a centuries-old Turkish slip-on style that happened to be zero drop and wide-toed long before "barefoot shoes" existed as a category.
Are these comfortable for daily walking? Yes, the traditional Yemeni method was built for walking; the sole flexes with the foot rather than against it.
Can I wear these to the office? Depending on the color, yes — the simple silhouette reads dressy enough for most offices.
What sizing should I order? True to size — the traditional last is already cut generously through the toe box.

I've received complements on how they look. They feel amazing and I'm very happy with this purchase.
I wish there was something I could do about protecting my toes more. I do some activities where things might land on my feet and I don't need steel-toed shoes, just something more substantial than a thin layer of leather. This is an issue with all my zero-lift shoes so it's no different here and I'm sure it would add weight to the shoe that might not please everyone. Just an issue for me.
So comfy and I love the color. They were consistent with keeping me updated on my package and I love that the bag was personalized with my name. Just such a fun considerate detail!
The shoes are beautiful and came in a bag with my name on it, such a wonderful personal touch! These are very comfortable and appear to be very well made.
These shoes are amazing! So much better than I hoped. Arrived in 3 days from Turkey…and packaged in a great bag with my name on it! Thank you so much will definitely buy from again!
The sizing was a bit off for me. I had to size down. Also, the color was lighter than expected, but the seller let me exchange for a darker color and smaller size. Note that I measured as directed, but they were longer than I would normally want my shoes.
Look at size chart! They are beautiful sandals, but absolutely HUGE. I'm normally a size 40 (24.5x10) but I size down for sandals. These are comically enormous. I got a great deal and will resell them and continue my search for the perfect pair.
Such nice craftsmanship! I continue to have sizing issues because they are much bigger than expected, but turns out the size chart is foot size and not insole length! I wasn't aware. Next time I will get the right size and they'll be amazing when I can finally wear them!
