Each pair of these sandals is individually handmade, ensuring a unique finish for every customer. Please note that faint pen outlines may be visible on the outer edges from the templating process; these are a mark of their handcrafted nature and will naturally fade with wear.

To ensure maximum comfort and durability, each pair is hand-conditioned with 3 coats of skin-safe and natural jojoba oil. This premium oil is a liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) shrub, a hardy plant native to the Sonoran Desert. It provides a deep, natural moisture barrier that is gentle on your skin and keeps the leather supple.

The sandals feature 3/8" Latigo leather laces and a copper rivet that removes the knot bulge under the sole. This rivet also provides grounding, helping maintain a natural connection to the earth. Over time, the copper will naturally flatten out with wear and can be replaced once it’s fully worn down—I include two replacement rivets with every order. To replace, simply use a #9 rivet with a rivet setter.

Construction & Materials

• Premium Hermann Oak Vegetable-Tanned Leather: Sourced from the back or bend for maximum durability. At a substantial 10-11 oz (1/8") thickness, these provide a rugged yet natural barefoot feel that molds to your feet.

• Minimalist Barefoot Design: Encourages natural movement and ground connection.

• Latigo Leather Laces: Strong, flexible, and easy to adjust.

• Copper Grounding Rivet: Secures the laces, removes knot bulge, and facilitates a connection to the earth.

• Eco-Conscious Build: Vegetable tanning creates leather that ages beautifully and develops a unique patina over time.
