These sandals are thought for humid or dry places, perfect for exploring and provide great freedom of movement. Thanks to their 5mm Vibram®sole, their incredible flexibility, resistance and lightness, you can keep them in your backpack or even in pockets.
Great for flat lands and mountains. Sandals that are complete from the technical point of view, and at the same time offer a minimalist design with a focus on details.
All the materials are high end. The sandals are completely handmade.
TECNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Thickness: Vibram® 5mm
In our quest for quality, we opted for the most famous sole in the sector. Vibram® 5mm, light yet extremely resistant, that provides a better grip with ground and more durability*.
Laces: Nörd lock System®
It took us a while to figure out which closure system to apply on this sandals. We wanted something minimalist with an aesthetic design while selecting the most resistant materials.
We also opted for the ease in the use and the option for washing and to disassemble some parts for replace if necessary.
*natural wear and tear will occur depending on the use and ageing of the product.

Great product, perfect delivery and beautiful sustainable packaging.

Really loved the design from the website. Express delivery perfect.
But then, extremely disappointed by the quality of the plastic sole. Could hardly look cheaper and be thiner. So flexible that possibly dangerous to walk with ! Nothing to compare with any Havaianas tongs. For that price (not cheap at all…) even if great design, would definitely not recommend.

Hi Pascal, I can understand your disappointment, but I think this might be because you are new in the minimalist sandals world (huarache style). The idea is to have a super-minimalist sole like barefoot, for this reason it’s only 5mm thick. About the quality, we use the Vibram© sole, the best in the world used especially in mountain shoes.
The Havaianas flip-flops use one of the cheapest rubbers in the market called EVA foam rubber. Maybe the height of 10mm can lead you into confusion. I hope I was able to explain why you have this sensation. Thank you.

Il minimalismo fatto per camminare, correre e sognare a piedi nudi
Great job

Diseño muy bonito y elegante.
La suela es delgada pero muy buena es Vibram.
El problema es que el pie se mete hacia dentro y te baiala un poco el pie dentro de la suela y si te las aprietas mucho te hacen daño.

In primis, consegna rapidissima, packaging minimal ma stiloso.
Puntuali e precisi.
La regolazione iniziale è semplice e da subito si ha un confort pazzesco, dire che sono leggere è già troppo poco per definirle, fantastiche praticamente sembra di essere scalzi, un infradito che però è senza il fastidio dell’infradito strutturata tradizionale.
La suola è soft, sottilissima ma protettiva grazie al concept di Vibram, la fascia posteriore è confortevole e rende stabile la calzata.
Da viaggio, da casa o piscina, versatile, gran bel supporto estivo, complimenti per il prodotto??
Provatele davvero sono entusiasmanti.

This is a great and beautiful product. I received the parcel really quick. The size is perfect and the shoe isn’t heavy while walking. This is good for beach days.

De momento cumplen su función como se expone en la web. La estrella que falta es porque creo que no se ajusta del todo bien el elástico.
