Note: No, this is not turning into a shoe blog. I just realized that I already have five entries about footwear. ;)

One of my closest colleagues in the office recently vacationed in her motherland, Casablanca (Morocco) and she brought something for me. The famous Moroccan sweets (sorry, I forgot to take a photo and I ate fast) and a pair of traditional shoes.

Meet my newest pair!

Moroccan shoes

Moroccan shoes are known for the pointed style, flat heeled and very comfortable leather piece. Believe me, the web feeds are not exaggerating. The leather quality is remarkable.

I was so ignoramus that when she handed it to me I was trying to move the end design. I did not know it was traditionally like that. Heehee. I told her that the color is very Chinese. At least in my eyes. It was a little short for my feet (I am size 39). But it doesn’t matter, there’ll be a way to manage it. ;) I’m excited to wear it.
