DESCRIPTION: The Sophie is a twin buckle slip-on sandal crafted with a moulded, anatomical, imported Spanish cork footbed, covered with genuine suede, designed to provide a comfortable, stable walking experience and promote healthy posture. The uppers are made of soft premium-grade Nubuck leather with a microfiber lining to wick sweat away, keeping feet cool and dry. The sole is made of a proudly South African exclusively designed and hard-wearing high-grade 8mm lightweight EVA Handmade in Cape Town, South Africa.
DETAILS: Nubuck is made by lightly buffing the grain of the leather to create a fine nap(almost like velvet). We have our leather tanned with a water resistant additive, to make the leather more stain resistant.
Handmade in Cape Town, South Africa.
Cork Footbeds lined with suede leather imported from Spain.
I bought 3 pairs for my girls. They absolutely love them! Exceptional value for money for good quality shoes.

Uncomfortable
I can see that a lot of care and consideration went into the design and construction of the sandals, but sadly they are not comfortable.
I am an average size UK 6.
My first challenge is placing my foot comfortably in the toe section, leaves a 1cm gap behind my heel, which means to sole is too long.
I love that the straps are adjustable, which is one of the reasons I bought a pair, but unfortunately none of the holes are suitable.
Adjusting them to means it's either too big, causing me to have overexert my feet to keep the sandals from slipping off, while the next hole is too tight, causing pain and blisters on top of the bridge of my foot.
It really is a shame because they are so beautiful and tick all the right boxes.
Maybe they'll get more comfortable with time, but for now I'm not enjoying wearing them.

Love my corkies!
It has been worth the wait for my beautiful corkies. They are super comfortable!
Lovely shoe for my husband, he cannot be happier, though the sizing was very far from standard sizing. My husband is a standard size 9 UK (size 43 EU) and we had to order a size 8, which fits perfect on his feet. Had a bit of trouble with the return but the problem was with the courier company and Freestyle made quick work of rectifying the issue.
Overall, we'll be happy to order from Freestyle in the future!
Had the plakkies for less than a week and the stitching on the left one came undone where the toe straps meet. Contacted Freestyle to request this be addressed/remedied and have received no feedback. Not happy with quality especially given the price paid.
