With 3mm deep lugs for reliable traction around camp and a dual-adjustable heel strap for a secure, customized fit, these sandals provide the support you need whether you're gathering firewood or simply kicking back. The bio-EVA midsole and footbed cushion every step—perfect for post-hike recovery or relaxed excursions on varied terrain.
Responsibly constructed with recycled polyester, vegan leather, and sugarcane bio-based content, these sandals are as considerate to the planet as they are to your feet. The breathable mesh upper keeps things cool, while the sculpted fit—featuring a form-hugging heel cup, a supportive midfoot, and a roomy forefoot—ensures comfort without compromise.
Whakatā, pronounced fah-cah-TAAH, is Māori for “to catch breath, rest, have a break”—a name that reflects the sandal’s purpose and spirit.
