The weather is warming up and all we can think about is, you guessed it, sandals. This season we nailed the brief and crafted a collection of summer sandals you’ll want to wear literally, everywhere.
It may surprise you, but office life for us revolves around shoes. We’re all about building an outfit around our footwear and what makes ours even better, they’re actually good for you.
Work sandals need to be comfy, yet chic enough for the office. You want them to support your morning commute and take you to knock-off drinks, too. That’s where our biomechanical footbed comes in. Fitted in every pair, this magic-making machine provides all-day comfort with every perfectly shaped contour. The arch shape is designed to aid foot function and reduce pressure on the heel, while the heel cup cradles the heel providing next-level support.
Now, let’s get into the fun stuff. Depending on your office vibe, you may opt for black sandals to keep it simple or go full summer in a pair of woven flats. We’ve rounded up our MVPs to pair you with your new work (footwear) bestie. Let’s get into it.
