Sâde
The sâde was a type of inexpensive robe. We have no further information about how it was cut or what it was made of. The word literally means “plain.”
Carpet Slipper-Like Shoes
The outdoor shoes called edik look a lot like modern carpet slippers. They’re the forerunners of modern babouches, which are still worn in countries like Morocco.
Socklike Leather Boots
The soft leather sock-boots called mest or iç edik (inner shoes) are one of the more unfamiliar items of Ottoman Turkish clothing. They were worn as indoor shoes, and were tucked into babouche-like edik when worn outside.
Boots
If the boots look soft, they’re probably the soft leather socks called mest, tucked into the babouche-like shoes called edik. If the boots look solid, they’re real boots, called çizme.
