Step into natural barefoot freedom and sustainable fashion with the Opanka Sandal - the perfect choice for conscious consumers who want to walk without waste.

Our sandal is foot-shaped, allowing your feet to move naturally and promoting stability. The wide, thin, and flexible design increases sensory feedback, enabling you to feel more and connect with your surroundings.

Featuring cross-over straps and a big toe loop, our sandal provides a secure fit and maximum feeling, ensuring that you can walk with confidence and comfort.

We have taken sustainability seriously with our (Re)new and improved Opanka Sandal. Remade with more sustainable materials and off cuts from the production of other shoes, this footwear has a reduced impact on the planet, making it an ethical and environmentally-friendly choice.

Previously known as the Kuru, we have upgraded this style to be part of the Opanka family, ensuring that you get the same pure barefoot feeling with improved sustainability.

Choose the Opanka Sandal and take a step towards a more sustainable future, where walking without waste is possible.

Sizing, we have found that if you wear the performance shoes and have a thumb width from the end of the longest toe to the end of the shoe, going down 1 size will give you the ideal fit.  You may find with your usual size that you have extra length behind your heel.
