Women's Earth “Sand Havana” slide sandals feature a leather upper with pretty geometric perforated cutouts. Two adjustable buckle closures ensure a secure fit, and an EVA cushioned footbed delivers heel to toe comfort.
Material Design – Eco-Friendly Leather & Non-Toxic Adhesives:
Most of Earth’s leather products are tanned using a vegetable-tanning process. Unlike other tanning processes, vegetable-tanning does not contain harmful chemicals. It uses the tannic acids naturally found in plants such as tree barks, leaves and some fruits.
The production time using vegetable-tanned leathers can be lengthier, but its’ health benefits for those in and around the tanneries, as well as the economic benefits for the local culture, are a more responsible choice, and one that Earth believes strongly about.
Non-Toxic Adhesives – Water-Based Adhesives
We use only water-based adhesives in our footwear, which is far less toxic to the air and people who work in footwear manufacturing, that traditional solvent and oil based alternatives. Many other flues such as solvents, radiation-cured glues and hot melts have been shown to be extremely dangerous to people’s heath. Water-based glues are a more responsible choice.
Rooted in a passion for yoga, Earth® founder Anne Kalsø set out to create ergonomic footwear that improved posture in the same way that continued yoga practice does. Integrating environmental concerns into its philosophy of overall lifestyle wellness, Earth strives to minimize its impact on the planet through innovative manufacturing technologies, with the goal of a carbon-neutral footprint.
*****Please note, I only charge the actual shipping rate, including my eBay discount, which I pass on to the buyer. I pack with lightweight materials – recycled peanuts, air bags, bubble wrap, and mailing bags vs. boxes (unless the item is fragile) – to keep package weight down, which is reflected in a lower ship rate for the buyer.
Happy to combine items for shipping! Please wait for a consolidated invoice before submitting payment.
Please Note: View all shipping options available – eBay doesn’t always default to the lowest rate/option for your area.
Local pick-up also available!
RETURN NOTE: If returning, footwear must arrive back in the same condition it was sent – with shoe box and all original interior packing material intact. (Thank you!)
