Hi everyone, We are back after another round of trial and error with our new collection of Cima Sandals! Our goal this time was to make the footbed softer for a super comfy fit while keeping it 100% biodegradable. Listening to our friends and their feedback we redesigned the original footbed together with our experts in the Portuguese shoe industry. While some of you loved the fact that the sandals are quite sturdy in the beginning and melt to the shape of your foot after a little bit, we came to realize that a lot of people were skeptical of that when trying them for the first time. After another year of lots of prototypes we came to a solution...
After some months at work we are finally back with our new and improved sandals! There have been some changes in the materials we used in an effort to make them even more sustainable. We are happy to announce that after many trials and errors we were able to replace the agglomerate of the previous sandals (which consisted of a mixture of rubber and cork) with a mixture of natural latex and cork, which are both 100% biodegradable! Further tweaks in the composition and production process resulted in increased durability of the sandals, making them last longer so you won´t have to buy new ones any time soon. Since we are working closely together with the manufacturer we were able...
After long hours of development, a successful crowdfunding campaign on kickstarter, ordering all materials, starting production and shipping all our pre-orders to all our backers we are finally live and selling online.
Thank you to all our initial backers you made this possible, we wouldn't have been able to move forward without your help. We will be forever grateful of your support and our humble beginnings.
