There are as many sandals as there are grains of sand on the beach – some pretty, some practical, many uncomfortable after a few steps. Our answer: Merino Slides and Merino Slides Lite, two styles you put on in the morning and barely notice all day. The trick lies in a considered combination of Merino wool and cork, reinterpreted for warm days. The result is an airy, gently cushioned feel that regulates moisture, stays fresh and adapts to you with every step. Add to that adjustable straps you can fine-tune for each foot – because nobody has two exactly identical feet.

 

Merino meets cork: fresh, airy, everyday-ready

Merino wool in summer? Absolutely. The fibre lets air reach the skin, absorbs moisture, and stays pleasantly odour-neutral – perfect worn barefoot. That way the slides carry you effortlessly from the office to the farmers’ market and on to sundowners. The cork footbed offers gentle cushioning so every step feels more natural. Practical: on both styles the straps can be finely adjusted so left and right truly fit perfectly. You’ll feel less friction, more support and a foot climate that stays comfortable even after hours – without the sticky feel of classic summer sandals.

 

Slides or Slides Lite: two styles, one promise of comfort

Whether urban or pared back – both styles follow the same principle: honest materials, clean lines and comfort that convinces from the first step. The Merino Slides rely on two softly knitted, infinitely adjustable straps with a subtle metal detail and a non-slip sole that shines in the city. The Merino Slides Lite are minimalist with a single wide strap, a generous toe box and an ultra-comfy cork footbed with a Merino top layer. That way you’ll find exactly the look to suit your summer – with the reassurance that Merino and cork stay fresh, light and dependable even on long days.

 

Merino Slides

Imagine slipping them on in the morning and forgetting them all day: the Merino Slides blend velvety Merino–cork comfort with two infinitely adjustable ajour-knit straps and refined metal buckles. The cushioned cork footbed with exclusive 3D knit caresses your foot, while the ergonomic midsole offers gentle support. The black anti-slip sole delivers reliable grip on urban surfaces, and the knitted upper fabric made from 100% recycled polyester adds urban chic. For the perfect foot climate and a tailored fit, adjust each strap per foot individually. Treat yourself to this summer upgrade – comfortable, stylish, considered.

Merino Slides Lite

If you like it minimalist, the Merino Slides Lite are your go-to: a wide, softly fitting ajour strap with an adjustable pin buckle meets an ergonomic cork footbed cushioned with a gentle layer of Merino fabric. The generous toe box gives room to move, supports a natural roll-through and provides noticeable relief. At the same time, the non-slip sole gives you confidence on smooth floors. Your arch is ideally supported, the muscles activated and your walking posture improved – noticeable with every step. Perfect for long days at home, quick errands and travel. Slip in, adjust, feel good.
