Alot of people wear sandals in the middle east, so is it required for tourists to wear sandals there? I think it would look a little awkward for everyone to be wearing sandals, and there is one person who is wearing pearl-white sneakers. So are tourists required to wear sandals or are they expected or what?

It isn't required. You can wear whatever you'd like.

It is not required to wear sandals, I think most people do because of the heat . But you can wear any type of footwear that you like, I lived in the Middle East and i wore boots, shoes, tennis shoes and sandals. But the sandals are cheap and easy to take off when you enter someones home.

There is no such requirement. People in the Middle East wear sandals because they are used to them and they're cheap and easy to make, not because they are required. However, a lot of people doing travelling nowadays wear sandals because of the security requirement that we take our shoes off going through detector systems in airports -- sandals (or flip-flops) are easier to shuck off.

you could positioned on some thing you sense like in the middle East. In summer time -in the Gulf section- it get so warm, that you're feeling you want to positioned on sandals after lengthy day at paintings, in case you sense you want to stroll round. you've a complete freedom to gown the way you want, yet respectable. clone of another places.

if you think you can withstand the heat in your shoes then you might not need sandals. but the way i see it, you better get one.

I think you're probably quite welcome to wear kodiaks or any other brand of insulated winter footwear, but the average temperature of probably something like 105 degrees fahrenheit discourages such behaviour.
