Artist: Diidhi Disho

Diidhi was born in Shakawe, Botswana, in 1968. She has three sons and a daughter, though her partner or nyechi (betrothed) still hasn't paid for a proper Mbukushu marriage. She went to school for two years, but stopped when the family moved to Etsha.

She learnt to weave when she was ten years old, but it took her many years to weave baskets that were good enough to be sold. With her first earnings she bought bread, which was very scarce at the time. With money from subsequent baskets she bought herself her first pair of shoes, an achievement that made her very proud.

Diidhi was originally a farmer, growing maize, millet, peanuts and pumpkins. Rainfall is erratic in this part of Botswana, making farming a laborious and unreliable means of subsistence. She found farming bearable though tiresome while she could still use cattle to plough. As a result of the Contagious Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) or cattle lung disease epidemic in Ngamiland in 1996, all cattle in the area had to be put down. Diidhi had one cow, for which she received five hundred Pula (less than US $100) in compensation. She used the money to buy food. She says that tilling the soil by hand is too laborious, and she is glad that she is able to weave baskets for a living.

In 1992 she was invited to become a teacher for other weavers. She enjoyed it, and the weavers were also glad because they all wanted to upgrade the quality of their baskets.

But as Diidhi says: “The problem with having a job is that people know where to find you if they are hungry!”

So comfortable but only lasted 5 months…
Size: 9, Color: Sea Salt, Size: 9, Color: Sea Salt
I was hesitant to buy these without being able to try them on, but I’m so glad I did! They are incredibly comfortable. I am on my feet for a large portion of the day as a school principal and these feel amazing all day. They’re very adjustable so if you have feet that swell (or just fatter feet like me) these should be able to accommodate you. They are clunky but really cute! They’re also easy to clean. I’ve worn mine just about every day since I received them and can easily wipe them down with a wet paper towel to make them look new. They will occasionally trip you up if you’re not careful, the same way Ugg boots can do, but that hasn’t been a big problem for me. They’re very lightweight and versatile. Love them! Update: I probably just wore these too hard because today I was walking the school hallway and the shoe just snapped. One of the sides was completely unattached and within 30 minutes they were only on my foot by one strap. Super disappointed!! But I loved them enough that I ordered another pair to get me through until boot weather.

Great shoe, room for improvement
Size: 7, Color: Bison Brown
I wore these to a 2 day music festival and my feet were so comfortable dancing and walking all day. Got a little sore by the end of the night, but the only thing that would have been more comfortable would be athletic sneakers so that pretty good for such a cool looking sandal. Sizing is off tho. I am a 7-7.5, and I ordered a 7. Length wise theyre good, but maybe I have skinny feet because I had to strap the 3 Velcro straps as tight as they could go, especially the heel one. Maybe I would have been better going down a size because I want to have my feet feel super snug and secure in sandals, especially if I’m dancing. But overall great sandals and honestly I’d buy them again

Love them
Size: 5.5, Color: Red Pepper
I have gotten so many compliments on these shoes! They’re true to size and comfortable. Because of the material feet might sweat easier if hot but they dry quick. Quality is great and the color looks good, it’s more of a orange/red color. I got a 5.5 size
