Shaw Slide

$155.00

The secure hug. Sophisticated, refined, and built for the long haul. Shaw's longer hugflex™ strap wraps more of your foot, delivering the security of a shoe with the ease of a slide. Supportive enough for a 20,000-step day. Effortless enough to slip on without thinking. Molds to your foot over time, and if it doesn't feel like yours within 30 days, we'll make it right.

Patented hugflex™ + barecork™ · Handcrafted in Portugal · Machine washable · 100% Vegan ·  30-day Feel Free guarantee

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 minimal strap keeps the ride light and free.

Natural rubber soleFlexible, 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.

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.

the barefoot hug. Our most minimal slide. The shortest hugflex™ strap in our collection for a free, uninhibited feel. Classic slide width, our own unique interpretation.

Shaw

the secure hug. Shaw's strap is about 20% longer than the Mullen, wrapping more of the foot for a more sophisticated ride. Supportive enough for a 20,000-step day, effortless enough to still be a slide.

Reviews

I love them!!!! I work

"I love them!!!! I work in Special Education and am on my feet all day. These have become my new favorite for work and outside of work they are instantly comfortable. I love the Olive color and get lots of compliments and the best part…… easy to clean and they can get wet unlike my tried and true Birks. Perfect for upcoming summer! I’ve already ordered another pair on preorder I hope they hold up well for the price that we will see."

Newsletter S. (5/5)

These are absolutely amazing! So

"These are absolutely amazing! So incredibly comfortable and easy to dress up or down. I replaced my birks with these and there's no going back. Easily the most versatile shoe I have. I'm a US size 9 and typically wear a EU size 40. Based on other reviews I got a 39 and they fit perfectly."

Sarah H. (5/5)

LOVE THEM

"My birks weren’t cutting it anymore and I was searching for a replacement. These slides are amazing. My foot pain immediately went away and I never want to take them off. Came back & ordered more can’t wait to continue supporting and wearing Message."

Christie (5/5)

About to order another pair!

"About to order another pair! These are a bit more supportive than the rubber Birks but way more flexible than the cork Birks which is really nice. I also have wide-ish feet but Birks are kinda awkwardly wide and the stiff upper either rubs or it loose - so for my house shoes I'm pretty excited about these. They are still pretty new so I can't speak to durability yet"

Elsa B. (5/5)

I love these slides! I

"I love these slides! I have always been a Birkenstock girl but have been having issues with some plantar fasciitis and other foot issues that those seemed to make angry. I love the way these hug your feet and have just enough support without being crazy orthotics. My feet have no issue after wearing these to walk around, stand, and they are cute on top of it all. I also love how these don’t stain from foot sweat and can be washed. 12/10!"

Kelly M. (5/5)

These shoes are so worth

"These shoes are so worth it. They’re incredibly comfortable and super cute! And my feet don’t sweat in them compared to my Birks. Seriously I love these and will be buying more! They’re also like super stable slip ons - like I can keep up with my 2. 5 year old without worrying about me tripping over myself."

Keri G. (5/5)

Very comfy, they dry well

"Very comfy, they dry well after you get them wet, lots of compliments on the color, fabric is very stretchy but still snug which feels great now, hoping they hold up long term but for now 10/10"

Danielle G. (5/5)

I love them!!! Ordered an

"I love them!!! Ordered an additional color. I do feel size chart is a bit off. I wear a US woman’s size 9, a 40 in other EU shoes, your size chart indicates a 39, those are too small, size 40 fits my US size 9 feet perfectly."

Lisa B. (5/5)

This is my new favorite

"This is my new favorite summer shoe. The Shaw is very comfortable and supportive. (Note- I have very picky feet) Color is a beautiful neutral and goes with everything. Love these!!!"
