Uncomfortable footwear can significantly detract from one's enjoyment of an event, and the Free People x Dr. Scholl’s collab is reshaping consumer perspectives on orthopedic foot care with designs that prioritize comfort and style.
In celebration of its 100th anniversary, Dr. Scholl's collaborated with Free People to reimagine its Original Sandal. The vintage-inspired collection plays with heritage pattern linings, vintage-dyed woods and unique hardware and detailing to attract a new generation with modern, retro, kitschy designs.
While the wood-sole clog sandal received a makeover in line with the Spring 2024 season's obsession with denim, the white eyelet design is a feminine, frilly choice to accompany picnics and plenty of other warm spring and summer events.
