Eco Sandals of Cork and Mushrooms Pure Ellie (58)

Eco Sandals of Mushrooms and Cork Pure Ellie (58)

The eco sandals Pure Ellie are vegan slides made of cork and mushrooms. They have a simple design with two wide straps that hold the foot very firmly and flatter it. They are cheap sandals, light and very comfortable. They are available in two colors: natural and black. The natural ones are made of cork with gold flakes that make them unique and beautiful. The upper part of the black ones are made of mushrooms and they have matching black cork soles.
The new technologies help to produce a shoe upper made from sustainable and natural ingredients. Mushrooms that are the basis of the production process are mixed with natural components and compose a finished material like a fabric.
The cork sandals are very good for the feet and this is why many doctors highly recommend them for patients with feet and back pain. They can absorb shocks while walking and provide relief during pain. A great benefit of cork is that it is hydrophobic (repels water) and excels many shoes that trap moisture that causes an unhealthy environment for the feet.
In addition, the cork sole takes the shape of the foot and reduces the pressure on the feet significantly.

Please consult the Size Guide to find your size. If you are between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger one. If you have any doubts about the size you should choose, please contact us.

Ellie

In Greek mythology, Ellie and Phrixus were twins of King Athamas of Boeotia and the half-nymph Nephele. The twins were hated by their stepmother, Ino, who hatched a devious plot to get rid of them, roasting all the town’s crop seeds so they would not grow. The local farmers, frightened of famine, asked a nearby oracle for assistance. Ino bribed the men sent to the oracle to lie and tell the others that the oracle required the sacrifice of Phrixus and Ellie.
Before they were killed though, Phrixus and Ellie were rescued by a flying golden ram sent by Nephele, their natural mother. As they were flying, Ellie could not hold on to the back of the ram and fell into the sea, which has since been called the Hellespont and she was rescued by Poseidon.
