Fashion and toy company Kiko + recreates traditional Japanese wooden platform sandals and infuses them with animal footprint accents. When worn in the sand, the fun accessories leave the footprint of a dog, gecko and even a t-rex in a trail along the beach.
With summer in its prime, sandals are becoming a go-to show for many who are unable to stand the season's hot and humid temperatures. With this notion in mind, Kiko + creates open-toed footwear with an adorable twist.
These animal-inspired footwear accessories can be worn by individuals of all ages and are a style kids are guaranteed to love. In addition to dog, gecko and t-rex, the styles also include different species of monkey.
