Ghurka sandals are said to have originated from the footwear worn by the "Ghurka soldiers," a mercenary unit formed by the British in Nepal, for traversing rugged mountain paths. They are characterized by uppers woven in a mesh-like pattern that covers the foot widely, offering both good breathability and a comfortable fit, creating a look that's somewhere between sandals and leather shoes. When you want to keep your feet cool, they provide an elegant impression without being as casual as sports sandals or beach sandals. They go well with bare feet as well as socks, making them a versatile item to wear from spring to autumn. Thank you for viewing.
