Oboz is a brand that can do no wrong in my eyes as their product range and their company ethos, both match my views perfectly and so of course these super Whakatā Ease sandals are no exception, they are comfortable, practical and so useful. They are made with recycled polyester, vegan leather and sugarcane, but these slide-in sandals include the Oboz sole technologies for exceptional cushioning and rubber outsole lugs for optimal traction. Having the new compression-moulded EVA insole I cannot recall my having a more comfortable pair of sandals. Add to that, these sandals have been crafted with 20% renewable sugar-cane so the foot bed provides unmatched cushioning and support for your feet. It is so easy just to slide your feet into this comfy sandals and this is thanks to the clever instep adjustability feature that adapts to your needs. My feet stayed secure with the 100% recycled breathable mesh and webbing so my feet felt supported and also they stayed cool because there’s good ventilation.
As you’d expect from Oboz, these sandals have been responsibly made with vegan leather and polyester, making these versatile sandals not only sustainable, but also durable as they have rubber outsole lugs to provide optimal traction and stability. The outsole also allows for shock absorption which of course alleviates stress on your joints, allowing you to be comfortable on your eco-friendly adventure.
I cannot offer more praise for these lightweight sandals and making it easy to take them on or off speaks to the practicality of these sandals. I found they were ideal footwear whilst I was dog walking on my local Welsh beaches, in the forests or off walking the Coastal Path. If it is comfort and style you are looking for then the Whakatā Ease is the sandal for you.
Oboz’s most-tested rubber compound boasting superior slip-resistance, enhanced durability, and improved elongation and tensile strength. Length runs true to size and there’s a form hugging heel cup, sculpted mid-foot and a wider forefoot & toe box – hence the comfort they offer.
