The Benjamin open-toe fisherman's sandal from Camel Sandals' biblical handmade leather sandal collection will appeal to fans of slip-on sandals who need a little extra protection for their feet. This model covers most of the instep while leaving the toes and ankle free.
The Benjamin model features two wide bands of smooth natural leather at the base of the toes and the bottom of the instep. Each of the wide bands is top-stitched in a single row on one side and in a double row on the other. Four narrow strips of leather – each one top-stitched in a single row on both sides – stretch over the instep between the two wider bands. The narrow bands pass through eight loops on a wide piece of leather, creating an almost solid panel at the center of the sandal.
Note: As the Benjamin fisherman's sandal is a new style, please allow up to 10 days for your hand-sewn sandal to be finished.
The Benjamin leather fisherman's sandal by Camel Sandals is an updated take on leather footwear that have been discovered at archeological sites in Israel dating back more than two millennia. One can imagine fishermen on the Sea of Galilee or along the coast of ancient Israel wearing similar footwear.
Camel Sandals' leather biblical styles are comfortable enough to wear almost anywhere, and are well made to last the wearer for years. All of Camel's styles, whether slip-on or fastened around the ankle, feature uppers made of thick, sturdy leather and molded arch supports for comfort and quality.
The biblical sandals are handmade in the Holy Land by skilled leatherworkers, who stitch and glue the leather uppers to natural rubber soles by hand. Any of the styles of Camel's biblical leather sandals can be ordered and made in sizes for men, women, and children.
