custom silvery linen sandals

Description

I fell for plastic. Plastic is so fantastic. When it isn't clogging sewers and rivers.

The fabric of these sandals is a light grey (the natural color of undyed unbleached linen) plastic-fused linen. It probably should be a strange raincoat or crazy tablecloth, but it's not. It's a pair of strappy sandals.

The particulars:
1 1/2" "kitten" heel
Long straps cross around your heel and tie asymmetrically over your outside ankle.
The straps are backed with the reverse of the fabric, so the plasticky goodness is not against your delicate skin.
There is some nifty cushioning in the insole.
Leather sole
Leather lining
Cute almost-a-bow detail
Custom made to fit your feet

Available in any color of leather, if you aren't keen on the fabric.

*****On making Zerkahloostrah custom handmade shoes:

Zerkahloostrah custom handmade shoes are built by using
your foot measurements and tracings. Photos of this
process are here:
http://www.eldiabloshoes.com/measurements-the-photo-essa
y.html, and I will also send you a measurements document
to further outline the information required.
Remotely, people send me the completed foot tracings and
measurements via snail-mail. If you are nearby Holyoke,
Ma, you can visit my studio and have your feet traced
and measured by a "foot-tracing professional".
All Zerkahloostrah custom handmade shoe (not flipper
sandals) orders include an initial leather fit model of
both feet. Additional pairs of shoes made from the same
lasts (not requiring mock-ups) will be made at a $150
discount.
The whole process usually takes a month (if you are in
the US), but may take longer depending on availability
of leathers, whether you are in another country,etc. I
require a 50% deposit to begin, and then the second half
is due upon receiving the shoes. I send the shoes
insured, and I will make adjustments to the actual shoes
if there are any adjustments to be made. The shoes are
repairable. Arch supports, comfort cushioning, etc can
be added or not, as you wish.
