Tonde Slide

Product Details

The bold plait design and super-soft sheep leather of the Tonde Slide bring both comfort and edge to the everyday design. A moulded leather footbed supports the foot and the ridged lightweight foam sole provides cushioning, making it comfortable and easy to wear. The upper section is super soft with a spongey like feeling - we love a chunky slide to wear with jeans, pants and long dresses.

Material

Upper: Sheep Leather
Lining: Sheep Leather
Footbed: PU
Sole: EVA Foam

Leather is a natural, renewable material made from animal hides that have been preserved and softened through a tanning process. We select our leathers based on their individual properties and the intended application.

This product is made from leather sourced from a Leather Working Group (LWG) audited and rated tannery. LWG aims to improve the environmental impact of the leather industry by assessing and certifying leather manufacturers. The audit protocol covers energy use, waste, water use and chemicals, as well as traceability. Chromium VI is not used in any tanning processes for our leathers.

EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a lightweight, rubber-like polymer, with excellent shock-absorbing properties to provide cushioning.

Care Instructions

These leather shoes should be cleaned and conditioned with a neutral cream polish. Apply with a soft cloth and rub into dry or scuffed areas. Leather is a natural material and will age with wear. It is imperative that you avoid wetting or soaking these shoes in water as this will greatly affect the quality and appearance.
