The Ho Chi Minh sandal remains one of the most recognisable pieces of indigenous equipment used during the Vietnam War. Made by hand from discarded vehicle tyres, the soles were cut from the tread, and straps were made from inner tubes or thin strips of rubber. Simple, durable, and easy to repair, they were capable of lasting through the harshest conditions of jungle warfare.
This pair displays wear from real use, and some dirt remains ingrained in the sole. They are a large size and were likely made for a Western foot.
