Charook Gladiator Silber – Leather Strap Sandal, Silver

The same construction as the Gladiator Classic, but in a speckled silver leather that shifts between white and metallic depending on the light.

The metallic comes from a pigment layer applied over grained leather, so the surface stays alive and never looks like foil. The silver wrap straps run through the same eyelets as on the Classic and can be taken up below the knee or tied short at the ankle. A model for summer evenings and for occasions where a flat shoe is called for.

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.
