John Ibbitson — December 20, 2011 — Fashion
Onia is an brand of swimwear for men that recently unveiled a line of casual beach shoes made from the same fabrics as its swimsuits. Going by the name the Montrose Shoe, this range of footwear blends together the comfort of a flip-flop with the protection provided from a sneaker, and is able to get wet without causing damage to the shoe itself due to the fact that it is made up of fast-drying cotton and nylon blends that can also be found in the company’s swimwear line.
So you can walk on the beach without having to get your feet all muddy, but not have to worry about having soaked shoes when you migrate towards the boardwalk. The shoes are also stylish and reasonably priced at only $80.00 a pair, making them the perfect pair of casual kicks for packing along on that summer holiday or day trip to the shore. They come in moss green, khaki and black, feature rubber soles and have antique nickel eyelets around the shoelace holes that may remind you of ones seen on the pockets of bathing suits. So get ready to make a splash at the resort this year with the Montrose Shoe form Onia.
