Designed with Greece in mind these shoes have a natural rubber base and elastic straps. Making it easy to slip your foot in and head out to the pool or on an excursion. They are practical and functional and very comfortable. I actually hate to part with these but they just haven’t been getting worn like they should. Helios, the company, is based out of Austin and Dallas and isn’t a well known brand… YET! You can find them at heliossandals.com
