Check out the tread, tyre name, and nails holding it all together.
These sandals are traditionally what male Zulu dancers wear, but I've read that they are equally useful for "strolling around the homestead" (er, I guess that's the category the hubs falls into!) They always remind me of Johnny Clegg and his Zulu dancing. .. I believe he's retired from dancing now, but you can check out his moves on youtube. The dancing starts about a minute and a half into the piece, although the music leading up to the dancing is well worth that time. The video is from the 46664 concert. This concert was named after Nelson Mandela's prison number, from his years on Robben Island, and was to raise awareness of the AIDS crisis in Africa.

Carolyn, I know my husband's sandals were from a flea market in Durban, but I believe you can get them on Johnny Clegg's website.
