In my collection I have 3 pairs of shoes but only the vaguest idea of their geographical origin. All appear to have some age and I have owned them since the early 1980s . Any help in placing their identity would be much appreciated.

All true; but when they're worn out you can return them for the deposit .

the 2nd one is morrocan probably from the atlas mountains and generally made of camel leather. I attached a few pics of some recent ones made in that area well 10-15yrs ago. a lot of the soles of these shoes are either heavy leather or worn tires.
