Every Frequent Traveler Needs a Pair of Foldable Sandals
16.08.2024 - 18:10 / cntraveler.com
Very few things can hinder one’s travel plans quite like a pair of uncomfortable shoes. The risk of getting blisters while aimlessly exploring a new city or twisting an ankle on the cobblestone streets of Paris has led me to be strategic when picking out footwear for trips to avoid any unnecessary hurdles along the way. In the rare instances that I choose to prioritize style and forsake comfort, I'd often tuck a pair of spare flats into my bag.
However, stowing an extra pair of shoes on my person, more often than not, meant having to forgo compact bags for the sake of space. Even my thinnest sandals or most bendable flats left very little room for other essentials in size-appropriate carryalls, while small baguettes and quaint handbags were basically out of the question. That is, until I was introduced to Kindred Label’s foldable sandals, which were seemingly the answer to my prayers of practicality.
Weight: 12 oz.
Shape: Square-toe
Sizing (FR/US): 37/6–42/11
Convertible footwear is a concept that many brands before them have explored. Where I’ve found others have fallen short, though, is the ability to balance style and comfort in one seamless design. Most collapsible heels have a somewhat homely silhouette that can feel out of place with an otherwise stylish outfit, while Kindred Label’s Hannah thong sandals look like something out of The Row, without the steep price tag. After seeing them online, I decided to check them out for myself.
Two things I instantly noticed, and liked, about the shoes: They came in a reusable Tyvek pouch that’s padded with a zipper fastening to keep them safe and secure, and were made with a rigid leather—a sign of high quality. Over the next few weeks, I found myself throwing the foldable sandals into various bags when on the go—whether that meant traipsing around Cape Cod or the five boroughs of New York City. It made it easy to get from point A to point B without carrying extra baggage or having to make a pit stop back to my room at Nantucket’s Faraway hotel.
If you’re even thinking about investing in a pair of foldable sandals to add to your travel wardrobe, this is everything worth knowing before taking the proverbial plunge.
Aesthetics aside, one of the things that separates Kindred Label’s foldable sandals from other convertible shoes on the market is the craftsmanship behind each design. Each pair is made by artisans in Portugal using Italian and Portuguese leather for longevity. What I found most impressive, though, is the subtle science behind the patented, shape-shifting design that goes completely unnoticed once you're wearing the shoe. “Our mechanism uses two magnets and an elastic hinge, enabling the shoes to fold flawlessly in half and snap back into place
