The design is inspired by traditional Japanese straw sandals. Made entirely of rubber, the thong and sole are integrally molded. You won't have the common problem of the thong pulling out and breaking. The moderately cushioned sole also reduces the burden on the heel. The specially shaped sole is designed for use in water and on wet surfaces, making it slip-resistant and highly practical. These simple and stylish Japanese-made sandals are perfect for both leisure and everyday wear.
