The official sword & sandal post, minus the sword

September 14, 2008

No, you can’t get these shoes from anywhere. Maybe thrift them if you’re super-lucky, or steal them from some museum. I think they’re plain gorgeous.


There were dozens of shoe factories in Tampere, back in the day. These  sandals were manufactured by Kenkätehdas A. Roihu in 1965. Who know, maybe they were designed by Marja Suna, since she started her career at the service of this very company.
