The Beta offers modest elevation without compromising on comfort – something that’s rarer than it should be in platform sandals. The 3cm platform provides just enough lift to feel elegant without the instability of higher heels, whilst dual adjustable straps let you achieve a precise fit. Underneath, Plakton’s included their full comfort technology: Memory Cushion insole that gradually conforms to your foot, natural cork footbed for proper arch support, and textured sole grip for stability on smooth surfaces. The soft apure suede is comfortable from the first wear, eliminating the usual break-in period. They’re well-suited for summer occasions, holiday dinners, or any situation requiring something smarter than casual sandals whilst refusing to sacrifice comfort. Metal buckles ensure durability, and because they’re handmade in Spain by craftspeople who’ve perfected cork sandals over decades, the quality is evident 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.
