Product Insights
The Ektoras Strappy Sandals, handmade in Greece by local artisans, are rooted in ancient Greek and Roman footgear research and executed by a Balenciaga-trained co-founder. They feature an adjustable ankle strap to secure a narrow last that requires sizing up for wide feet or half sizes, with leather straps and a contoured footbed that molds to feet after break-in and claims effectiveness for plantar heel pain. The natural tan leather develops a patina over time, but the sole is vulnerable to water damage and the forefoot offers negligible wet traction—only the heel rubber patch grips. Offered at a 76% discount from original MSRP, they pair with cuffed denim shorts or rolled chinos in earth tones, continuing a fashion legacy revived by Zendaya.
