Adventure Awaits - Slip On Clog in Black Tumble Leather

We believe every flat shoe wardrobe should have a relaxed clog inspired silhouette. Now let us unpack that.

We designed Adventure Awaits as a kind of 'winter sandal' and to pick up on the job our customer favourite Arkestra fisherman sandals do. Taking more 90s cues and looking at clogs as a starting point for our inspiration we wanted to find ways of making them a bit more radical. It was this search that lead us to extended the shape of the vamp and add the unexpected contrast cornflower blue velcro straps to keep the feeling modern. Loose in styling and easy in silhouette - they have a wear-everywhere ease and slip-on ability that will make them your new 'leave a the door' favourites. 

These are shoes for ‘active-lounging’. You know those days when you are WFH and the only commute you are doing is strolling to Breadclub <or insert your own hipster bakery here> to que up for Hot cross Buns. They have a shuffle quality that was intentional and best worn with socks. We like shoes like this for winter because let’s face it we’re not always going that far and some days you just need shoes that hug you back.

Built on our existing Arkestra sandal last this unit has also been made from a 2-piece, super flexible, variegated stacked outsole. With all the flex and spring of your favourite Arkestra sandals.

Leather upper, micro-suede lining this style has been designed to be intentionally exaggerated in the length to ensure that the full foot sits deep in the innersole around the lip of the sole edge. They have been designed so your heel should be fully cupped by the moulded sole edge which is both better for comfort and your foot health. They have an oversized quality to the toe shape which we love. Wide feet will love this style.

We began with a slip on clog silhouette and made the lines a little sharper. We added a velcro strap at the ankle because we like to keep things modern and useful. The velcro means they are adjustable to almost every heel shape, but we tend to wear them loose and 'sloppy' with a-lot of intentional casual-ness.  This shoe is all about the textured Black tumble leather upper. Perfect handle, soft to touch and with all the winter-warmth lushness you could dream of an Autumn palette. Unexpected details are key with the contrast Cornflower blue velcro accents and printed Radical Yes logo detail as a reminder of the limited edition nature of this shoe.

The classic clog silhouette has a laid back, yet practical take for IRL dressing situations. We love wearing them with monochrome Autumn tones like olive-y greens and pops of colour like raspberry pink - as seen here. The heaviness of this silhouette also works well in contrast to more floaty and ethereal with tea slip dresses in silk and cotton. There is a classic edge to this shoe that we like to play up with this upper and it will be our go-to shoe for the big relax into Autumn dressing.

Leather is a wonderful material, breathable, durable and beautiful. But without a bit of love it can dry out and deteriorate.

For optimum care, we recommend and sell "Waproo Waterproofer" to protect them from unexpected showers. We recommend spraying monthly on the Full Moon and can send you a reminder if you sign up to our newsletter here.

Polish your leather shoes around once a month and clean when necessary with a leather conditioner and soft rag to remove any dirt accumulated on your travels.

For extra special treatment, polishing can help renew shoes that have developed scratches or other signs of regular wear. Wax and cream polishes available from a local shoe repairer will breath new life into your beloved toe tappers. Once your newly polished shoes have dried you can re-apply a waterproof spray for extra protection.
