Women's sandals

No shoe shows its material as openly as a sandal: you see it up close and it sits on the skin. Here microfibre stands next to two plant-based materials — pineapple leather, woven from leaf fibres, and cork, light and naturally yielding from the first wear.

Cork is the only material on this page with no plastic at all in the upper; the others contain polyurethane, and we say so. Worn barefoot, breathability matters — cork and pineapple lead on that count.
