Flat Sandals

Wide Strap Flat

A 42 mm band instead of an 18 mm one. Same hold, spread over more than twice the area.

USD 138

Max instep 66 mm

Price in US Dollars (USD). VAT included where applicable. Free standard shipping over USD 119.

At the loosest hole this holds an instep of 66 mm. At the tightest it closes down to 48 mm. One 42 mm band with 2.5 cm of travel across 6 holes.

Size (EU)Foot length in cm

Adjustable styles are worth trying at the loosest hole first. Tighten one hole at a time until the foot stops moving, and stop there.

Going up a size makes the sandal longer, not taller. It will not fix a tight instep — the strap anchor points move forward, not upward.

Three things to know before you buy

One · where this pair can rub

Outline of a foot seen from above with the rub points of this sandal numbered12
Numbers match the list. Positions are indicative, not to scale.
  1. 1

    Along the edges of the band

    A single band carries the whole hold, so all of the pressure runs along its two edges.

    What reduces it: Work the band edge between your fingers before the first wear. The strap softener speeds this up; a pad under the edge helps on long days.

  2. 2

    At the outer side opening

    With nothing enclosing the side of the foot, the foot shifts sideways on the bed and the little toe meets the rim.

    What reduces it: Tighten the forefoot strap by one hole so the foot stops travelling. If the style has no adjustment, size down only if the length chart supports it.

Two · break-in

There is more leather in a wide band, so it takes longer to soften. Expect 4–6 wears before the band stops feeling rigid across the instep.

Leather Strap Softener — USD 28

Three · barefoot wear

Worn barefoot, the footbed takes sweat directly. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth after each wear and let it dry away from direct sun. The leather will darken where the ball of your foot and heel sit — that is patina, and it is a characteristic of unfinished leather, not a fault.

Pads cut for the 2 points marked above

along the edges of the band, at the outer side opening — the shapes in this set are cut for exactly these positions. They go on the sandal, not on your skin.

Sizes, in centimetres

EU numbers are not a unit of length. Measure your foot from the wall to your longest toe and read the centimetre column instead.
