As travel season dawns on us, one question looms large: What is the perfect travel shoe?
Whether you’re walking 20,000 steps a day through the streets of Tokyo or navigating cobblestone alleyways across major European cities, the Solely Jane Flat Sandal might just be your perfect match.
While it may appear to be a simple, everyday sandal, it’s interchangeable and can be worn in multiple ways. The brains behind the design? Designer Doug Hintze of Hintze Creative, for Solely Jane: the go-to brand for innovative, interchangeable footwear for women.
When it comes to footwear, some believe that if it’s functional, it can’t be stylish. And if it is fashionable, it’s not functional. But why give up either aesthetics or function when you can have both?
A true visionary dedicated to creating sustainable and inclusive footwear designs, Hintze designed these sandals to blend modern style with ergonomic function.
Specifically made for travellers in mind, particularly those who refuse to compromise on comfort and aesthetics, the Flat Sandal brings thoughtful innovation in every step, making it the ideal companion on your journeys.
Not Your Average Sandal: The Solely Jane Difference
The differentiating factor for the Flat Sandal compared to its counterparts in the market is its patented interchangeable technology, which allows users to swap sandal tops without replacing the same base sole.
This allows users to easily change into different looks without the hassle of carrying multiple pairs of shoes, especially when travelling. Should the top or sole wear out during use over time, all users have to do is replace them.
“I strive to be more and more sustainable in the way I create and my overall approach to design. As my island of understanding increases, my shore of ignorance does as well – I am always striving to learn and improve.” – Designer Doug Hintze
Another unique feature is the use of high-quality, durable materials, ensuring lasting comfort at every step.
The base is made with a soft vegan leather top and an EVA foam pad for its shock-absorbing properties, along with a supportive heel cup and gentle arch support for all-day wear.
The sandal’s rubber-textured sole also offers excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, helping to prevent slips and falls and providing stable footing at every step.
Built to withstand up to 300 miles, these might be the only pair of sandals you’ll ever need.
All that designer Doug Hintze wanted was to create footwear that goes beyond function and meets the user’s everyday needs, all while inspiring connection through intentional and thoughtful design.
The perfect travel shoe should do more than keep up with you and your pace; it should elevate your journey. Whether you’re crossing time zones or simply making your way across town, the Solely Jane Flat Sandal is built to move with you.
