Walking Sandals – Hour Six Is Where a Flat Sandal Gives Itself Away

These sandals pair a shaped sole bed with a knit upper that has padding worked through it. The straps adjust across the instep, so width is something you set rather than hope for. Six colors and nine sizes.

Why choose sandals with a molded arch bed?

A flat sandal puts the whole load on two points and lets your foot sort out the rest. A shaped bed spreads that load across the length of the sole instead. On a short walk you would not notice; on a full day out you notice nothing else.

• Shaped sole bed — the surface follows the curve of the foot rather than sitting flat under it.
• Padding in the upper — knit with give in it, so nothing hard meets the top of the foot.
• Set your own width — the strap adjusts across the instep, useful when feet swell in heat.
• Low-weight sole unit — less to lift with every step, which adds up over a few thousand of them.
• Dries on its own — the knit sheds water quickly after rain or a splash.

Sandals you can genuinely spend a day on your feet in.

Set the strap at the instep before you head out and reopen it a notch when the weather turns warm. Wipe the knit with a damp cloth or run a soft brush over it when it picks up dust. Let them air dry rather than parking them on a heater.
