Classic two-strap sandals built for lasting comfort
Sometimes the best designs are the ones that don’t try too hard. The Barna embodies that philosophy – understated leather sandals hiding genuinely clever engineering underneath. Plakton’s signature soft apure leather breaks in beautifully, and dual adjustable straps deliver exactly the right fit. The Memory Cushion insole sits on top of a natural cork footbed, creating the kind of support that makes long days on your feet genuinely comfortable. Metal buckles ensure longevity, whilst the textured sole provides reliable grip on wet surfaces. They’re the sort of sandals that start the season as a luxury and end it as an essential. Handmade in Spain by craftspeople who’ve been perfecting cork footwear since 1995, using sustainably sourced materials throughout.

If you know the European size of the shoes or sandals you wear from other brands, we recommend basing your selection on our EU sizes. Also, remember that the adjustment of the straps can have a great impact on the way sandals fit, so if they seem too small or large on first try-on, try adjusting the straps to help accommodate your foot shape. If in any doubt, we recommend sizing up by a half size.

Responsibly Produced: Sustainable practice leather production and materials sourced in Spain from local suppliers
There’s something incredibly inspiring about a brand that’s spent nearly three decades perfecting one thing: cork sandals that feel like they were made for your feet. Plakton started in Alicante back in 1995, and they’ve been handcrafting their footwear the same way ever since – each pair shaped by artisans who take genuine care in getting the details right. The cork comes from sustainably harvested oak, sourced through ancient processes that require real skill. Descortiçadores, they’re called – specialist harvesters who know exactly how to strip the bark without harming the tree. It’s the foundation of every design, paired with premium suedes and leathers from certified suppliers who share Plakton’s commitment to responsible production.
With most of the supply chain kept local to Spain, there’s an honesty to how these sandals are made that feels refreshingly straightforward. But what really sets Plakton apart is their Memory Cushion Technology, which moulds to your foot over time. After a week of wearing them, you’ll understand why people become so attached to their pairs. These aren’t sandals for a single summer – they’re the ones that end up in your bag for city breaks, countryside walks, and any occasion where comfortable, well-made footwear matters. Handmade in Spain, built to last, and genuinely committed to doing things properly.
