Toe-Post

Toe-Post Ankle

An ankle strap takes the load off the post, which is where most toe-post rubbing starts.

USD 138

Max instep 60 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 60 mm. At the tightest it closes down to 44 mm. Ankle strap with 3.0 cm of travel across 7 holes. The toe-post itself is fixed.

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

    In the gap between the first and second toe

    A toe-post sits in a skin fold that has almost no callus. Sweat softens the skin there, and the post moves against it with every step.

    What reduces it: Wear short indoors first. A padded post sleeve or a small anti-rub pad wrapped around the base of the post spreads the contact.

  2. 2

    Over the inner ankle bone

    An ankle strap that is set too high crosses the bone rather than sitting below it.

    What reduces it: Fasten the strap below the ankle bone, not on it, and leave a finger's width of slack.

Two · break-in

It is the post that needs breaking in, not the strap. Expect 3–5 short wears before the post stops registering between your toes.

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.
