The distinctive looking Saudi man's sandals are called "madas." There are many shops that just sell this type of shoe only. The design of the madas sandals are such that they cover a much larger percentage of the foot than most sandals, while still being open. This design allows for more protection and support in this harsh climate and sandy desert terrain.
I love how the madas sandals are displayed and organized so neatly in the shops. This madas shop in Al Balad maximizes a very small space to efficiently display a lot of product. The sandals come in a wide variety of colors, designs, materials, and embellishments. You can see a wider variety of madas in these prior posts I made by clicking HERE - and HERE.
Well stocked.
