With summer on the horizon, premium footwear brand ECCO has expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the new ELEVATE Sandals that fuse form and function for a versatile summer sandal. Available in two colorways — Black and Merigold — these chunky sandals embrace a timeless elegance with a fashion-forward aesthetic.
The ELEVATE Sandals are crafted for a selection of smooth, full-grain leathers or premium goat suede, and provides both comfort and breathability. The integrated ankle strap with a high-shine metal buckle not only provides a contemporary aesthetic but also offers a flexible and supportive fit. The chunky soles, meanwhile, provide plenty of cushioning and shock absorption for all-day comfort and support.
