hezs

Hezs is a term that refers to a type of traditional Turkish footwear, typically worn by men. The word "hezs" is derived from the Arabic word "hijab," which means "to cover." This name reflects the historical purpose of hezs, which was to protect the feet from the harsh terrain and elements during long journeys and military campaigns. Hezs are usually made from leather and feature a simple, sturdy design with a closed toe and a low heel. They are often worn with traditional Turkish clothing, such as the caftan and fez, and are an important part of Turkish cultural heritage. Today, hezs are primarily worn for ceremonial occasions and as a form of cultural expression, rather than for practical purposes.
