The outsole is made from rubber materials to offer some durability and has the wearer's foot rest on top of a soft foot bed foundation. The upper is made from mesh materials for breathability blended with ripstop materials, held together with a velcro strap over the forefoot. Additional security is offered with a buckle detailing to allow wearers to adjust the fit of the sandal to their liking. The sole is done in black and the forefoot in white.
