The comfort of cork, elegant footwear.

A sleek one-strap design with an ankle strap that makes your ankles look slimmer. The sandal 605725 features a synthetic leather upper that creates an elegant appearance reminiscent of leather sandals, while the footbed retains the comfortable feel of cork. It looks polished yet remains comfortable enough to wear all day without tiring your feet. Such shoes naturally become a staple in your summer wardrobe.

The Benefits of Cork, Preserved

This elegant shoe features a footbed made of cork wrapped in synthetic leather. The cork is blended with natural latex derived from rubber trees, allowing it to gradually conform to the shape of your foot with each step, creating a personalized fit over time. By increasing the proportion of natural latex, the shoe effectively absorbs stress on the soles of your feet, making it less tiring even on long days of walking or standing.

The outsole is made of EVA (mixed reinforced rubber), which is lightweight and provides ample grip. The ankle strap can be adjusted with a buckle, allowing you to customize the fit to your size. Its simple form complements various outfits, seamlessly blending with both flared skirts and linen pants. This sandal is recommended for days when you want to look polished while prioritizing comfort.

Cork Sandals

PLAKTON is a sandal brand founded in 1995 in Alicante, Spain, a region surrounded by mountains and the sea, rich in natural beauty. The brand was born from the desire of three friends, Paco, Jesus, and Valentin, whose families have been involved in shoemaking, to continue the craft they were exposed to since childhood while creating sustainable products that coexist with their country and nature.

With the concept of "SUPREME COMFORT," these sandals primarily use cork as their main material, sourcing high-quality materials exclusively from western Spain. Cork is known as a sustainable material that can be harvested without cutting down trees, with a harvesting cycle of 8 to 9 years. The history of cork in footwear is long; it has been used since medieval Europe as a bottom material for indoor shoes, particularly among the nobility, to protect feet from the cold stone floors of frigid interiors. Similar to felt, which is commonly used for indoor footwear in Europe, cork has the property of not easily transmitting cold to the feet. It can also be considered a material that can continue to coexist sustainably without disrupting natural cycles.

PLAKTON's incredibly lightweight and comfortable cork materials, combined with a focus on fashion, have made their sandals recognized as reliable products and a trusted brand worldwide, with clients including brands from France and the UK, as well as Europe’s largest department stores.
