Paineira Black Leather Toe-Ring Flat

The Paineira is the summer flat reduced to its most elemental and elegant form. A single leather thong passes between the first two toes, meeting a strap that crosses the foot and holds the sandal in place with the simplest possible geometry. The white leather catches the light and complements any warm-weather colour palette — from deep terracotta to the softest pastels.

The toe-ring sandal is one of the oldest footwear forms in the world, and the Paineira honours that history with calf leather and a handmade finish that gives it the quality the silhouette deserves. At 1.5cm, the barely-there sole keeps the foot close to the ground and the feeling completely free. The white leather is clean and bright from the first wear; with care, it remains so for seasons to come. A sandal for the kind of summer days that begin before breakfast and end after sunset.

Handcrafted in Brazil by Mangara Atelier — the simplest things, made properly.

Fit: made on a French last — slim and precise. Fits well if you have slim feet in your size. If your foot is on the fuller side of your size, we recommend going one size up.
