carikResearch has so far traced the history of Turkish costume back to the eighth century, before the Turkish conquest of Anatolia. The Turks of Central Asia were a nomad people whose needs were mostly supplied by their herds, so leather wool and hair were used in many diverse ways to make tents, furnishings, clothing and other daily needs. Of course one of these uses was shoes, and the earliest type of leather shoe made by the Turks was the çarık, and there are still traditional çarık makers in some Anatolian villages.
