Madas - Traditional Saudi Men's Sandals

Worn by Saudi men, madas sandals are readily found in shoe shops all over Saudi Arabia.  The styles, colors, and detailing are now endless, quite a change from the past when they mostly came in a choice of brown or black leather. 

Madas are usually made from camel or cow leather and used to be entirely made by hand, which of course makes them quite expensive.  Nowadays more affordable madas are machine made. 

Madas sandals are now also made for women and children as well.  They are available in just about any color and can have different embellishments like beading, contrast stitching, and different leather effects, like ostrich texture.
