Our Notes

Two straps crossed over the foot and a slingback round the heel. Cork underneath, and enough hold to walk properly in.

The straps meet in a wide X across the instep — one from each side, cut in our Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials), smooth with a low sheen and stitched fine along both edges. Behind, a slim slingback runs round the heel and fastens on an adjustable metal buckle (100% zamak), with pin holes to set it where you want it and a stud anchoring the strap. There's an elasticated strip built into the buckle strap, so it gives as you walk and settles back — that's what gets the fit right and keeps it there without gripping at the heel. In tan, warm all through against the natural footbed. In black, sharper, cooler, and quieter.

Underfoot is where the work is. A deep Portuguese cork footbed with a raised arch and a moulded heel cup, layered with soft vegan suede (100% PU) on top. The cork moulds to the shape of your foot as you wear it in, absorbs shock as you walk, and stays cool. Under that, a rubber tread layer for grip — and you can see the recycled content in it, flecks and splashes of colour embedded right through the material. Durable and grippy over pavements, gravel, decking and the walk between. A 3cm heel and 1.5cm toe for a gentle lift.

Lined in soft Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU), so you can wear them all day without socks and not think about it. And you can take them down to the beach — salt water won't mark or stain them, and they're easy to care for.

The slingback is what makes these the dressier of the footbed sandals. Tan wears with linen and cream, a loose dress, wide stone trousers. Black takes denim, black linen, or anything you'd wear out to dinner.

Materials

Upper: Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials)
Lining: Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) – soft and comfortable against the foot, with a breathable suede texture that helps keep feet fresh
Insole: Deep Portuguese cork footbed layered with soft vegan suede (100% PU) on top – moulded to your foot and improving with every wear
Outsole: Portuguese cork midsole with a rubber tread layer underneath — the cork moulds to the shape of your foot over time while staying light, with the rubber giving durable grip where it meets the ground

Construction & Features

Hardware: Adjustable slingback buckle (100% zamak — a durable zinc alloy) in an old gold finish, with pin holes to set the heel strap to your foot, plus a matching old gold stud securing the strap

Care Guide

Clean: Wipe the uppers and outsoles with warm soapy water and a cloth or soft brush, then towel dry thoroughly. Polish: A synthetic polish can be used to bring back shine and refresh the colour — any synthetic product should work fine, applied as described in its instructions. If your footwear has a burnished effect on the toes and sides (we apply a darker polish to some of our brown vegan leather uppers for effect), this is best reapplied by a cobbler, or at home using a darker shade of polish worked around the toes and sides. Drying: You can dry your footwear on top of or near a radiator or other heat source. Depending on the heat, it can take a few days to dry out the insides fully. Never put your footwear in the washing machine. Deodorising: Don't let your footwear stay damp between wears, especially inside boots, as this can damage the water resistance and let microbes develop, causing a smell. If this happens, dry the footwear thoroughly and use a footwear deodoriser until the smell stops. In extreme cases, wash the insides out with warm soapy water, then dry fully and reapply the deodoriser. Waterproofing (optional): You can treat the uppers with a waterproofing spray to improve durability, stain resistance and water resistance. We recommend doing this every 2–3 months depending on use — most standard waterproofing sprays work fine on our vegan leather.
