Charook Gladiator Classic – Leather Strap Sandal, Burgundy

A gladiator sandal in burgundy leather whose long straps wrap freely around ankle and calf — a slightly different picture every time.

The upper is cut from a single piece and set with eyelets through which two leather laces in contrasting olive run. Because the laces are not fixed, you decide how high and how tightly the sandal sits. At the front the toe cap stays closed and carries the typical Charook decorative seam; underneath sits the flat, hand-stitched buffalo-leather sole.

Material

The shoe is 100 % leather: a buffalo-leather outsole, a lamb-leather lining and a goat-leather outer shell. The leather is untreated and natural. Goat leather lets the feet breathe, so no bad odours build up and the foot stays cool — which is why these shoes stay comfortable over long days.

Fit and size

The straps wrap around ankle and calf and can be tightened to any degree, so the sandal sits on very different foot shapes. We recommend your usual size. The flat leather sole breaks in within a few days.

Care

The leather is untreated and natural. Wipe off dust with a dry, soft cloth and work in a colourless leather conditioner from time to time. Never machine wash and never dry on a radiator — let the shoes air at room temperature.
