Used to be quite good, perhaps not always looking fancy, but it didn't fall apart and get scuffed easily.

Nowadays, there are just a few makers left who do it the old way ("Beograd" or whatever they were renamed to, perhaps "Gradbeo" or „Uno“, and "Kompako" that I know of), using leather and thread. The rest that's on the market is all allegedly famous trademarks, but in reality cheap knockoffs and chinese garbage. One has to know where to buy.

There are few kinds you most likely never heard of or never tried:

- clogs - klompe - closed slipper with wooden sole. Common in Netherlands and worn mostly by medical staff around here.

- nanule - open slippers with wooden sole, worn by women only

- espadrile - light shoes with top made of cloth

- opanak - traditional serbian footware, now mostly part of folklore and sold as souvenir, very few still wearing it, unless a traditional dance troupe
