Mazidans

Mazidans are a type of traditional footwear originating from the Middle East, particularly from the regions of Iraq and Iran. They are known for their distinctive design, which typically features a high, round toe box, a flat sole, and a wide, often decorative strap that wraps around the ankle. The upper part of the mazan is usually made from leather or fabric, and the sole is often made from rubber or cork. Mazidans are often worn with traditional clothing, such as the thobe or the abaya, and are commonly associated with cultural and religious festivals. They are also popular among tourists and fashion enthusiasts for their unique aesthetic and cultural significance. The name "mazan" is derived from the Arabic word for "sandal," reflecting their historical roots in the region.
