That 'big toe' style of using the stirrups was popular among Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia etc. Ethiopian warriors rarely wore footwear, since they were accustomed to walking barefoot over rough terrain.
Some aristocrats like Menelik II used European style boots while riding, but it was not universal.
