Cool sandals for a hot summer. Made in Brazil from recycled car tires. They nicely “mold to your feet” after a few wearings …you won’t want to take them off. They come in lots of colors: green, black, white, gold, and silver and two styles. One has a black sole and the other is called “Cip” which has fibers from the Cipo plant running through the soles.
Green chic at its finest!!
