Two Strap Toe Peg Sandals

The strap arrangement is what makes these. A toe-post sits between the first and second toes and runs back diagonally across the foot, meeting a second strap over the instep — so instead of two parallel bands you get a crossed line running corner to corner, which holds the foot properly and looks considerably less predictable than the standard two-strap slide.

Everything is done in soft vegan suede, straps and footbed alike, in a warm dark brown against the natural sand of the cork. The buckle at the instep is solid metal in an antique brass finish, adjustable through the strap holes so you can set the fit where you want it — and the aged tone is the right call against suede, warmer and less shiny than a bright metal would be.

Underneath is the reason you'll keep wearing them. A deep Portuguese cork footbed layered with soft vegan suede on top, contoured with a proper arch and a heel cup, so the foot is held rather than just carried. Cork does something no foam can: it takes an impression of your foot over the first few wears and keeps it, so the fit gets more personal the longer you have them. Beneath that, a cork midsole with a rubber tread underneath — and the flecks of colour you can see through it are recycled content in the rubber, left visible rather than hidden.

Wear them with everything summer's for: linen trousers or a linen shirt-dress, a long white dress, shorts and an oversized shirt, tonal brown or khaki if you want to run with the colour. They're the sandal you can walk a whole day in and still be comfortable at the end of it.
