barecork™ footbed.  

Crafted from upcycled wine cork, harvested from cork oak forests in Portugal every nine years without harming the tree. Water-safe, cork-on-cork construction molds to your foot, naturally absorbs impact, and provides subtle arch support without added weight. Cork is a natural material and may show minor separation or flaking with wear—this is normal and does not affect function or comfort.

hugflex™ upper

A patented compression stretch-knit that wraps the foot like a sock. It holds without pinching, flexes as you move, and never needs to be broken in. The Shaw’s longer strap provides a secure ride—it performs more like a shoe, in slide form.

Natural rubber sole. 

Flexible, durable, grounded.

100% vegan. 

No animal materials. Get them wet; these are quick-drying materials. 

Handcrafted in Portugal. 

Handcrafted in small batches by 2nd- and 3rd-generation family-owned workshops outside Porto, all within forty minutes of one another. The cork is carbon-negative, and the production runs are small to keep waste at zero. Built to last, not to pile up.

If you are in between half sizes, size down. For instance, if you are a size 39.5, choose a size 39.

Fit

Our straps are designed to hold the foot snug but not tight, like a really good hug. We recommend pulling them on like socks, shimmying your toes to the top of the slide for a secure, comfy, strapped-in fit. Measurements below are based on a size 38.


MULLEN

Original, wear-everywhere silhouette, comfortably snug but with more spring in your step.

SHAW

Increased stability improves your every move and fits every foot just right, even narrow feet.

MESSAGE slides are 100% machine washable. Gentle cycle, cold water, air dry. The cork is water-safe, naturally antimicrobial and antifungal, they stay fresh however far you walk in them.

Reviews

These were worth the wait.

"These were worth the wait. I got them 2 days ago and have only taken them off to sleep! They are so comfortable right out of the bag. I’m shopping for more colors now. I have very small narrow feet and they fit like a glove with arch support and wiggle room for your toes. And no break in time. Just get them. You won’t be sorry."

I ordered these for a

"I ordered these for a beach trip since they are water friendly unlike a regular cork sandal. They’ve been the perfect shoe for this trip! There was a delay in shipping, so it took a week shy of 2 months to get them, so keep that in mind when ordering. Overall, very happy with my purchase. Their customer service can’t be beat! Excellent communication."

I have both the Shaw

"I have both the Shaw slide and Mullen slide and both are comfortable. The Shaw slide hugs your foot better so I agree it’s better if you’re doing more walking. True to size. I found my Birkenstock size to be the same in these. No break in period, very comfortable strap."

Kristin K. (5/5)

I was pretty surprised that

"I was pretty surprised that these shoes were extremely comfortable. They don't require a break in period. I have finicky feet and my feet loved them especially the feel of the cork bottoms. I hope they offer more styles especially including platforms."

Felicia S. (5/5)

"I love the way the sandals look, but the quality and what you get for the money is just not there. I received my sandals about 4 weeks ago and i have noticed that pieces of the cork have started to chunk off the shoe. I have also notced the fabric has stretched out after just a few wears as well. These will not replace my Birkenstocks for the $$$ they fall short."

Alicia (3/5)

My absolute favorite shoes! They

"My absolute favorite shoes! They are so comfortable and so chic!! These slides go with everything and that’s exact how I wear them. And I still can’t believe that I can throw them in the washer and they come out looking brand new! The best slides!!!❤️❤️❤️"

Q&A

Do slides fit wide feet?
Hi Patty! We have only one size footbed at the moment, but we do find that many folks with wider feet are happy with the Mullen style. The shorter compressive band is better for their wide feet and hugs them just right. Our footbed is wider than most normal-fit footbeds because of the space we make for the toes to follow a more barefoot footbed philosophy. If you give it a try, and it doesn't, the return will be on us! hugs, Meg
I am in between sizes. Should I size up or down?
If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing down in our slides and sizing up in our mules.
Will these fit narrow feet?
Yes! The Shaw is actually our best option for narrow feet. Its longer knit creates a deeper, more secure hug that helps keep narrower feet comfortably in place.
Can your shoes be resoled?
Hi! Yes, they can. Most definitely. We make them in a way where we can take apart and re-use pieces, so I know the sole can be replaced. Though, it should take years to need it! Keep us posted. x
