Product Story

These are the genuine Turkish mest, the leather slippers worn by the famous whirling dervishes of the Mevlevi Order during their performances of the Sama. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, they are handmade from select calfskin for its tighter grain and light weight, then cut, sewn, and lined with cotton flannel for modern-day comfort. Tanned and dyed to a luxuriously soft hand that compels daily wear, each slipper is handsewn with a vamp seam and a reinforced heel with a convenient pull tab. The leather soles grip hard surfaces, yet are supple enough for one’s own ritualistic footwork, whether cooking or relaxing by the fire. Unisex. Women’s sizes 7-10; men’s 9-12. (8 oz.)
