Flat Sandals

Flat Premium

The best hide and the most hand-finishing in the flat line.

USD 208

Max instep 64 mm

Price in US Dollars (USD). VAT included where applicable. Free standard shipping over USD 119.

At the loosest hole this holds an instep of 64 mm. At the tightest it closes down to 46 mm. Three hand-burnished straps, 2.5 cm of travel across 6 holes each.

Size (EU)Foot length in cm

Adjustable styles are worth trying at the loosest hole first. Tighten one hole at a time until the foot stops moving, and stop there.

Going up a size makes the sandal longer, not taller. It will not fix a tight instep — the strap anchor points move forward, not upward.

Three things to know before you buy

One · where this pair can rub

Outline of a foot seen from above with the rub points of this sandal numbered12
Numbers match the list. Positions are indicative, not to scale.
  1. 1

    Across the top of the instep

    The strap crosses the highest point of your foot. If your instep is near the upper end of this style's range, the strap sits under tension there for the whole wear.

    What reduces it: Loosen one hole and check the strap can still hold the foot. If it already sits at the loosest hole, this style is at its limit for your instep — an anti-rub pad under the strap will reduce friction but will not create height.

  2. 2

    Along the back heel edge

    The rear edge of the footbed meets the heel at an angle while the leather is still firm.

    What reduces it: The edge rounds off with wear. Until it does, an oval anti-rub pad on the heel edge — not on your skin — takes the contact.

Two · break-in

Leather straps start firm. Expect 3–5 wears before they take the shape of your foot. Wear them indoors first and keep the first outdoor wear short.

Leather Strap Softener — USD 28

Three · barefoot wear

Worn barefoot, the footbed takes sweat directly. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth after each wear and let it dry away from direct sun. The leather will darken where the ball of your foot and heel sit — that is patina, and it is a characteristic of unfinished leather, not a fault.

Sizes, in centimetres

EU numbers are not a unit of length. Measure your foot from the wall to your longest toe and read the centimetre column instead.
