The nubuck version of the Beta brings a refined finish whilst maintaining all the comfort features that make Plakton sandals distinctive. Nubuck’s velvety texture elevates the aesthetic, making these appropriate for occasions where regular suede might feel too casual. The 3cm platform provides gentle elevation without instability, whilst dual adjustable straps with metal buckles allow for precise fitting. Plakton’s Memory Cushion insole gradually adapts to your foot shape, whilst the natural cork footbed handles ergonomic support. The result is platform sandals genuinely suited for extended wear – city exploring, summer events, long celebrations – without the usual longing to get home and change into slippers. The textured sole maintains stability on smooth surfaces, and because these are handmade in Spain using quality materials throughout, they’re built to outlast several seasons of regular wear.
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.
