Cork sole that conforms to the foot

The 666148 TANGON sandals have a refreshing white upper. The slightly thick cork sole is combined with a wide leather upper.

This design is perfect for those who want to keep their feet exposed, even though it is a summer sandal, and is a popular shape among PLAKTON. The large upper made from a single piece of leather completely wraps around the foot and provides excellent support. Another nice feature is that the Velcro tape makes it easy to put on and take off.

Protect your feet and make them look beautiful

The upper of the 666148 TANGON 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 sole is made of cork. Cork was originally used in footwear in medieval Europe to protect the feet from the cold stone floors. The cork is mixed with natural latex from rubber trees, and the shape of the sandals conforms to the wearer's feet due to the pressure of the wearer. By increasing the proportion of natural latex, the stress on the soles of the feet is absorbed well, making it less tiring to walk or stand for long periods of time. Cork also absorbs sweat and has the ability to sterilize, making them comfortable even in the hot summer. In addition, the outsole is made of EVA (mixed reinforced rubber) which has good grip and is extremely durable.

Cork Sandals

PLAKTON is a sandal brand founded in 1995 in Alicante, a city in southern Spain surrounded by mountains and the sea and rich in nature. Paco, Jesus and Valentin are friends whose relatives all made shoes. They wanted to inherit the shoemaking tradition they had been familiar with 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 the sole material for indoor shoes, mainly by aristocrats, in medieval Europe to protect the feet from the extremely cold stone floors inside the house. Like felt, which is often used for indoor shoes in Europe, cork has the characteristic of not easily transmitting cold air to the feet. It can also be said to be a material that can coexist continuously without disturbing the natural cycle.

PLAKTON's sandals are made from extremely light and comfortable cork and are designed with a focus on fashionability. Their clients include French and British brands and Europe's largest department stores, and they are recognized worldwide as a product and brand that can be trusted.
