Description
Vegetable-tanned leather strap over a moulded cork and latex footbed, with a suede topcover that grips the foot rather than sliding around. The strap adjusts on a single brass buckle and the footbed is replaceable at a cobbler once it wears through.
Cork moulds to the foot over a few weeks of wear and then stops changing, which is why an old pair is better than a new one. The arch is pronounced — if you have never worn a contoured footbed it will feel like too much for the first few days.

Took about ten days for the cork to shape to my foot and then they became the only thing I wanted to wear. Arch is high, be ready for that.

The buckle is real brass and has not bent or dulled. Strap leather has darkened where my foot sits, which looks good.
