Leather Sandals

$42 $180 on Birkenstock

Everything you love about the original, without the nameplate markup. This is the classic two-strap sandal — contoured footbed, real cork, smooth leather — made to wear every day and built to last.

• Iconic two-strap design with adjustable buckles
• Mold-to-your-foot cork-latex footbed
• Real leather upper with soft backing
• Deep heel cup + raised toe bar = natural support
• Durable EVA sole for everyday wear

Contoured Footbed
The signature detail. With arch support, a deep heel cup, and raised toe bar, this footbed encourages healthy alignment and a natural gait.

Two-Strap Versatility
Timeless and unisex. The dual straps keep your foot locked in without feeling restricted, and the silhouette goes with everything from shorts to denim.

Custom Fit, No Fuss
Buckle both straps to fit high arches, narrow feet, or just how tight you want them that day. Set them once and slip in and out.

Breaks In, Never Breaks Down
The cork-latex core compresses with use but bounces back between wears. Combined with a sturdy sole and quality materials, it’s built to handle years of daily wear.

Cork-Latex Footbed
Molds to your foot over time, providing personalized arch support and weight distribution that gets better with every step.

Leather Straps
Made with smooth, full-grain leather that softens as you wear it. Structured yet flexible — no break-in battles.

Adjustable Buckles
Metal hardware for a secure fit. Rust-resistant, wear-resistant, and subtly matte.

EVA Outsole
Lightweight, shock-absorbing sole adds grip and bounce. Perfect for pavement, beach paths, or long airport walks.

Fit Note:
The Leather Sandal runs true to size and is available in full European sizes only. If you typically wear a half-size, we recommend sizing up. To ensure the best fit, double-check the footbed length that corresponds with your EU size.

When you shop with The Essential, you’re paying for quality products—not costly packaging, photography, or promotions. That’s why our products are shipped directly from the source, packed by the premium factories we’re proud to work with, in the same simple, safe packaging they use. Direct. Bare. True.

Made From Real Leather

We use full-grain leather that softens with wear but holds its structure. No synthetic blends, no shortcuts — just the kind of material that looks better the more you live in it.

Cork That Learns Your Foot

The contoured cork-latex footbed molds over time, giving you custom arch support and weight distribution. It's breathable, naturally cushioned, and built to last.

Form with a Purpose

Two adjustable straps, a deep heel cup, and a raised toe bar—every element has a purpose. The shape encourages healthy alignment, while the minimalist silhouette wears well with anything.
