Keep it long, treasure it long.

summer staple

The 666148 sandals from PLAKTON combine a slightly thick cork sole with a wide leather upper. This design is perfect for those who want to keep their bare feet exposed, even though they are summer sandals. The large upper, made from a single piece of leather, completely wraps around your foot and provides excellent support. Another nice feature is that you can put them on and take them off with Velcro tape.

Protect your feet and make them look beautiful

The upper of the 666148 sandals is made from a single piece of leather. The design that covers the instep to the side of the foot is impressive. The heel strap is also relatively thick, so you can rest assured. The genuine leather used for the upper is VACHETTA cowhide produced in Spain, and each pair is dyed by hand. This process is labor-intensive, but there is no waste, and you can enjoy the tasteful texture and the changes in color that occur over time as the color deepens the more you use it.

The sole is made of cork. Cork was originally used in footwear in medieval Europe to protect the feet from the cold of stone floors. The cork is mixed with natural latex from rubber trees, and the shape of the shoes conforms to the wearer's feet due to the pressure of the wearer. By increasing the proportion of natural latex, the shoes absorb stress on the soles of the feet well, making them less tiring to walk or stand for long periods of time. Cork also absorbs sweat and sterilizes, making them comfortable even in the hot summer. In addition, the outsole is made of EVA (mixed reinforced rubber) with good grip, making them extremely durable.

Sandals 666148 are perfect for outfits that make you look cool from the ankles, so we recommend pairing them with cropped pants or thin skirts. Make them a great addition to your summer outfit.

Cork Sandals

PLAKTON is a brand that specializes in sandals, founded in 1995 in Alicante, a city in southern Spain that is surrounded by mountains and the sea and is rich in nature. The brand was founded by friends Paco, Jesus, and Valentin, whose relatives all used to make shoes, and their desire to continue the shoemaking tradition they had been exposed to since childhood and to create sustainable products while coexisting with their country and nature.

The sandals, which are based on the concept of "SUPREME COMFORT," are made mainly from cork, and all of them are made from high-quality materials harvested from western Spain. Cork is known as a material that can be harvested without cutting down trees, and is harvested in cycles of 8 to 9 years. Cork has a long history of being used in footwear, and although there are various theories, it was used as a sole material for indoor shoes, mainly by aristocrats, in medieval Europe to protect their feet from the freezing cold of indoor stone floors. Like felt, which is often used for indoor shoes in Europe, cork has the characteristic of not transmitting cold air to the feet. It is also a material that can continue to coexist without disrupting the natural cycle.

PLAKTON's sandals, which are made from extremely light and comfortable cork material and are also fashionable, have clients such as French and British brands and Europe's largest department stores, and are recognized as a reliable product and brand worldwide.
