[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11164883, member: 2844"]I think these are the actual shoes. They look related to opanke and Turkish shoes, which are often worn with thick woollen socks. I once wore Turkish shoes during a dance performance. I usually didn't dance that part, and the shoes were provided by the troupe. Problem was that I had smaller feet than everyone else. I tried to solve that with an extra pair of thick socks and tightening the leather thongs. But sure enough, during the dance someone stepped on the side of my shoe, and my toes slipped out.:rolleyes::hilarious: I sort of skip-danced the rest of the choreography, smiling a lot so people would look at my face and not my feet.:D After that 'incident' I was always allowed to wear my own small Croatian opancici during suitable dances, Bulgarian, Turkish, etc because all of the available shoes were for big feet.[/QUOTE]
