Premium Craftsmanship: Water-Repellent Suede and Leather Lining
This premium model stands out with a carefully selected combination of leather textures:
-
Protective Suede Upper: The upper is made from the underside of leather, meticulously sanded in Rio Grande do Sul to achieve a soft, supple, velvety finish. This premium suede is treated with water-repellent oils without PFC chemicals, protecting the sandal against light rain and splashes.
-
Full Leather Lining: Unlike standard models, the interior is entirely lined in smooth leather. This premium finish feels exceptionally comfortable barefoot, reduces hot spots, and extends the life of the shoe.
-
Eco-Conscious Tanning: The suede and leather are tanned in Brazil in compliance with strict regulations, without hazardous chemicals and with responsible water management.
Innovative Soles: Sugarcane and Wild Rubber
The Etna's sole unit combines anatomical cushioning with the preservation of natural resources:
-
Bio-Based Cushioning: The insole incorporates 57% bio-based EVA (41% of which comes from sugarcane) and 11% recycled EVA, ensuring plush comfort that adapts to the shape of the foot throughout the day.
-
Amazonian Grip: The outsole is made from 50% Amazonian rubber, harvested through fair-trade practices, and reinforced with 26% mineral silica for optimal abrasion resistance on both cobblestones and trails.
