Go ahead, show some toe! With soft, beautiful leather and a breezy, lightweight design, our Solstice leather sandals give you everything you need—and nothing you don't. Complete with an adjustable strap and flexible sole for easy, confident movement, these simple handmade leather sandals are a warm-weather essential.

If you've every wished you could go barefoot all summer, dream no more! Our Solstice styles are minimalist sandals with a lightweight and open design, a classic and versatile silhouette, and a secure fit for free and easy movement. The black natural leather uppers feature clean lines accented with contrast stitching, and the closed back and adjustable strap secure the sandal to your foot (unlike that basket full of old flip-flops you've been meaning to phase out).

A bit more about our leather:
We use only leathers that meet high safety standards both for our customers and for the environment. It is important to us that all materials are as chemical-free as possible. Much of the leather used in manufacturing today is imported from countries that rely on formaldehyde tanning methods. Not only is this chemical a potential irritant to your skin and absorbable transdermally, but it poisons groundwater downstream from tanneries and causes well-documented health issues with tannery employees. We source our exceptional-quality leathers from tanneries that meet our labor and environmental standards.

**SIZING GUIDE**

Softstar's handmade leather sandals and shoes are sized according to our unique unisex measurement guide. To find your Softstar size, follow these handy steps, which are illustrated in the final image in this listing's image gallery. All you need is a book, a tape measure and a wall.

1. Remove shoes and socks and place your bare foot so that your heel is barely touching a wall.
2. Place a book on the floor, parallel to the wall, so that it is barely touching the front of your longest toe.
3. Step away carefully and measure the distance from the book to the wall.
4. Look for your foot measurement on the sizing chart (fifth image in image gallery) to find your recommended Softstar shoe size. (We recommend this method as opposed to tracing your feet because tracing usually gives a larger measurement.)
5. NOTE: The Solstice style runs big so we recommend going down a full size from your regular Softstar shoe size. New leather sandals should feel a bit snug when you first start wearing them, as the leather will naturally stretch a bit over time, creating a perfectly comfortable fit.

These black leather sandals come in regular, wide and narrow width. Trouble deciding your width? Our best recommendation is to order a wide or narrow only if you have found you need those custom widths in other brands for your feet to be comfortable. If you have never found you needed wide or narrow shoes before, then we suggest sticking with our regular width.
