There are sandals as plentiful as 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 slip on in the morning and forget about all day. The secret is a smart combination of merino wool and cork, reimagined 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 no one has two exactly identical feet.

 

Merino meets cork: fresh, airy, everyday-ready

Merino wool in summer? Absolutely. The fiber lets air reach your skin, absorbs moisture, and stays pleasantly odor-neutral—perfect for going barefoot. That way, the slides take you effortlessly from the office to the farmers’ market to a sunset drink. The cork footbed provides light cushioning so every step feels more natural. Practical: On both models, the straps can be finely adjusted so left and right really 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 minimalist—both styles follow the same principle: genuine materials, clean lines, and comfort that wins you over from the first step. The Merino Slides feature two softly knit, infinitely adjustable straps with a subtle metal detail and a slip-resistant sole that excels in the city. The Merino Slides Lite take a minimal approach with a single wide strap, a generous toe box, and an ultra-comfy cork footbed with a merino top layer. That way you can find the exact look that fits 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 combine velvety merino-and-cork comfort with two infinitely adjustable open-knit straps and sleek metal buckles. The cushioned cork footbed with exclusive 3D knit cradles your foot, while the ergonomic midsole offers gentle support. The black non-slip outsole provides reliable traction on city surfaces, and the knit upper made from 100% recycled polyester adds urban chic. For the perfect foot climate and dialed-in fit, adjust each strap individually for each foot. Treat yourself to this summer upgrade—comfortable, stylish, thoughtful.

Merino Slides Lite

If you love a minimalist look, the Merino Slides Lite are your go-to: A wide, softly hugging open-knit strap with an adjustable pin buckle meets an ergonomic cork footbed cushioned with a gentle layer of merino fabric. The generous toe box gives your toes room to move, supports a natural roll-through, and noticeably relieves pressure. At the same time, the slip-resistant sole keeps you confident on smooth floors. Your arch is ideally supported, your 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.
