Women's Leather Slides, Apricot

A pair of women's leather slides in Apricot on a cork footbed. Cork takes an impression of the foot over the first weeks and keeps it, so the bed ends up fitting one person. Until it does, it feels firmer than foam, and that is the material rather than a fault.

The upper is genuine suede, cut plain with no adjustment. The outsole is a textured rubber the maker calls non-slip. The maker's words for this pair: orthopedic and non-slip.

Wearing them

Summer indoors and out, on a porch and a hot pavement. Cork hates standing water: a wet footbed goes dark and takes a day to come back.
