A note on the metallic finish
Keep lotion, sunscreen and bug spray off the straps — they can mark the coating. And like all metallic finishes, the shine settles and softens with regular wear.

LEISURE PLEASING FEATURES
ARCH SUPPORT
Not a flat sandal. Every pair sits on a contoured footbed with built-in arch support and 62% more padding than the leading minimal flip flop. The same footbed goes under every sandal we make.
MADE FOR WATER
Vegan leather uppers on a rubber sole, so water does no lasting damage. Rinse them off and let them air dry.
100% Vegan
Vegan materials throughout, with no animal products at any stage of production.
Non-Slip Soles
A flexible rubber outsole, textured for grip when the floor is wet.
Which slide?
Same cushioned footbed and arch support underneath every one. The difference is what sits across the top.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the style, so check the Fit line above the size picker on any product page — that's the exact guidance for what you're looking at.
A few rules of thumb: Rafie, Gisel and Gigi run small — size up a full size. Our newer slipper styles come in whole sizes only, so if you wear a half size, size down (a 7.5 takes a 7).
Still unsure? Email us or use the chat.
Yes! Many of our vegan leather sandals are water-resistant. Don't worry about sweaty feet. Also, you can wear them to the ocean or lake without worry. Best of all, if they get dirty, you can clean them easily with some mild soap and water.
Faux fur and denim products are not water-friendly.
