Haushs

Haushs are a type of traditional footwear originating from the Hausa people of West Africa, particularly in the regions of Nigeria, Niger, and Cameroon. They are known for their distinctive design and cultural significance. Haushs are typically made from leather and feature a high, round heel, which is often decorated with intricate patterns or designs. The upper part of the shoe is usually made from a single piece of leather, which is stitched together to form the shoe's shape. The sole is usually made from a different type of leather, which is stitched onto the upper part. Haushs are often worn with traditional Hausa clothing, such as the buba and kaftan, and are considered a symbol of Hausa culture and heritage. They are also worn for special occasions, such as weddings and festivals. Haushs are not only a form of footwear but also a cultural artifact that reflects the history and traditions of the Hausa people.
