Sandals

Warm weather asks less of a shoe and more of the foot, which is why the sandals here are chosen for the footbed first and the strap second. Every pair carries a cushioned insole, and most add arch support or a contoured bed under the arch itself.

The range covers slides, slingbacks, wedges, thong sandals and flat crossover shapes. Straps are woven, caged, knotted and buckled; hook-and-loop and adjustable buckle closures let the fit be reset across the day rather than set once in the morning, which matters when a foot swells in July. Rubber outsoles with a real tread handle wet tile and loose ground. Cork-wrapped midsoles and wedges add height without adding weight.

Colours run through black, ivory, natural, taupe, brown, blue and pink, in leather, suede and open woven textures. Heights go from flat to a wedge you can still cross a lawn in — nothing here was built for standing still. Wear them for errands, a boardwalk, a garden party or an outdoor ceremony. Sizes run from 5 to 13, in medium and wide widths, fitted by a Brooklyn shop that sells women's footwear and nothing else.
