OWL has recently created a comfortably knitted slide that leaves absolutely no footprints. The 'No Footprints Slides' are the world's first zero-waste slides made from fully recycled materials.
Typically, sandal uppers are cut from a roll of fabric with a punching press. Owl slides are innovative because their uppers are directly knitted without cuts and waste. This method reduces the 15% of cloth that generally ends on the cutting room floor when clothes are cut and sewn. The slides were created from a super soft yarn and knitted in a way that provides the most comforting, breathable wraparound on the market.
Not only are the No Footprints Slides perfect for inside your house, but they are also ideal for the outdoors. They are composed of non-slip plastic and offer excellent floor grip for poolsides and other outdoor activities.
