Ladies leather sandal

The thoughtful details make this sandal an all-around comfortable shoe. It starts with the material: the upper leather is made of soft, vegetable-tanned cowhide nappa leather. Under the cover sole made of chrome-free tanned cowhide lies an anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed, which in combination with the strong, ribbed rubber outsole has a shock-absorbing effect and allows comfortable walking and standing even for hours. Last but not least, the sandal is conceivably airy due to the arrangement of the leather straps, but still sits well on the foot.

Grand Step Shoes is a brand known for comfortable shoes for more than 25 years – let alone for producing these shoes sustainably from natural materials and in fair working conditions. The Mainz-founded label, based in Pirmasens by now, places great value on high requirements for testing and certifying regarding its production materials. Indeed, Grand Step Shoes adheres to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and follows the IVN guidelines (International Association of the Natural Textile Industry). Grand Step Shoes has been working with the same partners in manufacturing for years and maintains close, personal contact with the workshops, often small family businesses, in Europe and Vietnam. Adherence to an internationally recognised “Code of Conduct” ensures that the people employed there work under fair conditions and get adequate pay. These criteria also apply to the companies involved in the entire supply chain. While showing such scrutiny in production, it’s no wonder that Grand Step Shoes is similarly meticulous when it comes to wearing comfort – the diligence borne of profound insight into the foot’s anatomy and superior knowledge of suitable materials.
