Keep it long, treasure it long.

Gentle on the Earth, gentle on your feet.

Slip them on and head out in a flash.
No need to tie shoelaces; you can easily take them off and put them on, bringing the carefree summer vibe right to your feet. Their lightweight nature makes them easy to carry in your bag, adding to the unique joy of summer. During the summer, you might even keep them in your car. However, the ease of use sometimes leads to treating them like disposable items, which can weigh on your conscience.

ASPORTUGUESAS was born from the desire to encourage you to choose beach sandals with a bit more thought and care. Originating from Portugal, these are the world's first cork beach sandals. They maintain the same lightness while using materials that are gentle on both your feet and the planet, perfect for summer outings.

Summer Changes. ASPORTUGUESAS

Founded in Portugal in 2016, ASPORTUGUESAS is a shoe brand created by Pedro Abrantes, an architect and surfer. The idea began with a focus on recycled cork materials that were discarded at a factory producing cork soles for Birkenstocks, leading to the creation of beach sandals made from regenerated cork.
The soles are made from a unique material that combines recycled cork and latex. The cork's bubble structure absorbs shock and reduces pressure on your feet. While the comfort level rivals that of Havaianas and Ipanema, the cushioning is even better. They are designed to minimize fatigue, gently conforming to the contours of your feet.
From sandy beaches to cobblestone café terraces, ASPORTUGUESAS seamlessly blends into any summer setting.

The Perfect Touch of Cuteness

Many beach sandals in the past have been either brightly colored or prominently feature sports brand logos, making them difficult to coordinate with outfits.
The design of ASPORTUGUESAS features a unique wave-shaped sole that stems from an architectural background, along with simple straps. The minimalistic appearance, free from unnecessary embellishments, pairs effortlessly with summer dresses, shorts, and jeans. They are not just for the beach; they naturally integrate into your everyday life.
Additionally, for those concerned about outside perceptions, the cork texture and gentle colors elegantly enhance your look.

Perfect for These Occasions

- At the beach or pool with family and friends, enjoying summer leisure activities
- Styling with summer dresses or bikinis
- Pairing with casual everyday wear like jeans or shorts
- Relaxing on the balcony or in the garden

The World of Cork Production

Portugal, where ASPORTUGUESAS was born, accounts for about half of the world's cork production. The cork oak, which is the raw material for cork, can be harvested by hand every nine years and typically lives for an average of 200 years. This material, carefully collected by artisans, can be regenerated repeatedly without harming the tree, making it a truly sustainable resource.
Moreover, ASPORTUGUESAS donates one euro to orphan support surf schools for every pair sold.
