Description
Simple yet striking, our barely-there Athena thong sandal is an easy, elevated everyday option that screams S.U.M.M.E.R. Featuring a handbraided (thank you Ares!) leather ankle strap, our Athena thong sandal pairs perfectly with maxi dresses, linen slacks, and short shorts alike.

Fit Notes
Our Athena thong t-back sandal fits true-to-size, with an adjustable handbraided buckled strap for that perfect fit. If you find yourself between sizes, we recommend that you size up. If the sandals feel a little snug, the vachetta leather will mold to your foot with wear.

Materials
Our sandal uppers are made with vegetable tanned and chromium free Italian leathers. Our strap is made from the same leather and is handbraided.
Finished with our signature stacked cuoio leather sole and rubber outer sole.

We want you to treasure your sandals for years and years to come. While we’ve made every effort to build the sandals to last with materials that age beautifully, there are also steps you can take to protect and prolong the life of your leather sandals. First things first, use an all natural leather cream to protect your sandals from water and other elements!
