Pathway is our barefoot sandal for urban adventures. With its anatomical fit, padded straps, and flexible sole without a heel, this lightweight sandal offers athletic aesthetics and maximum comfort. Pathway features two adjustable straps with velcro: one at the heel and a second that runs across the instep. Based on your feedback, we've extended the instep strap for our revised Pathway version. Now Pathway can be adjusted even more individually to accommodate customers with medium to high insteps.
What's new in the improved Pathway version?
-
Longer instep strap
For an above-average number of customers, the strap running across the top of the foot wasn't long enough. That's why we extended it for the revised version to provide a comfortable fit for customers with medium to high-volume feet. Customers with lower foot volume can of course continue to use the new Pathway version. Customers with very low instep volume can have the strap shortened if needed. -
Velcro fasteners
Additionally, we've switched the rough and soft sides of the velcro on the instep strap. This means only the soft part of the velcro comes into contact with skin, even when the straps are set very wide. To protect the strap material, we recommend keeping the velcro completely closed when not wearing them to prevent the rough velcro part from coming into contact with the straps when shoes are stacked together, for example. -
New sole shape
We've also optimized the sole shape slightly. In the area of the little toe, we've removed unnecessary sole material and widened the midfoot area for better strap placement. -
New construction without triangle buckle
The entire construction has been upgraded. We've replaced the triangle buckle with padded, crossed straps, so the sandal now offers significantly more stability and no longer irritates the sensitive ankle area.
Other proven features that remain unchanged:
- 6.5 mm thin sole with structured insole and profiled outsole for enhanced grip
- Padding for the little toe
- Vegan & unisex
- Athletic look
