Women's raffia sandal with footbed

These casual raffia sandals give your summer outfit that certain something and can be combined just as well with jeans or shorts as with a skirt or dress. They are just as comfortable as a slipper. The upper is made of braided raffia fiber. The lining and the anatomically shaped insole are made from supple, vegetable-tanned cowhide. They ensure a pleasant walking sensation and a good foot climate every step of the way. The cork sole edge adds a striking visual accent. Thanks to the two straps that can be adjusted using metal buckles, the sandal can be easily adapted to the individual shape of the foot. The finely profiled rubber outsole provides the necessary grip, even on slippery surfaces.

Two aspects characterise Werner shoes: natural leathers – if in any way possible chrome-free and vegetable tanned – and a comfortable feel thanks to tried and tested fittings. The family business founded in 1911 is, after all, still in line with its traditional claim to produce beautiful and good shoes. What once began with sturdy work and hiking boots developed into a range comprising chic après-ski boots in the 1970s and 80s and progressed up to the current collection of (casual) shoes for men and women, some sporty, some rather elegant. Werner also actively follows new developments in the leather market. For instance, some shoes feature a lining made of olive leather®. In the tannery, they use olive leaves (residues that accumulate during the annual pruning of the trees), the resulting leather is very skin-friendly. For many years, Werner shoes were made at the company’s founding place in Pirmasens. Today the “quilters” and “nippers” work in south-eastern Europe. The raw materials come from Germany and the neighbouring European countries –in unvaryingly guaranteed high quality –, keeping transport distances as short as possible.
