“I don't know⟳ when the change⟳ to un-greased shukas took place⟳, but images of Maasai in the 50s show⟳ some wearing loose, ungreased shukas—maybe earlier than that. Even now, some are greased and others not. “Cotton” shukas were worn up until the mid‐90s when the manufacturers switched to a woolly textured synthetic—probably acrylic.”
