If you’re about comfortable flat summer sandals, minimalist (but still fun) in design and last a long time, then this piece is made for you.
I’m all about comfortable flat shoes and sandals and how I’ve survived without knowing the existence of this brilliant Bali-based Etsy shop called ELF simply escapes me! Their shoes (and bags!) are beyond swoon-worthy. Their handmade leather flat sandals especially are my top favorite as my boxy feet love me some easy-to-slip-on summer sandals with back zip closures.
I love ankle straps and the kind that I go mad for must carry the back zip closure as I have no patience for buckles. If they don’t feature zip closures, I’d prefer the ankle strap to be stretchable so I can shove my big foot in quickly as I’m classy like that.
It’s just that I really do like my footwear to be on the practical side as who has time for sitting around or bending down for ten minutes to fuss around with dainty buckles that won’t cooperate when you really need to dash, right?
Ever since I found ELF, where all things leather are made by hands in Bali, Indonesia — which was about a few hours back — I just know I NEED to feature their gorgeous summer sandals that my feet are aching for and hopefully, you’ll like them too, if you share the same liking for flat sandals with the kind of fuss-free ankle straps I’m always eyeing for in stores but they just don’t make them where I am for some reason.
Without further ado…

With these genuine leather sandals, time is on their side. If you like the vintage look of worn leather, you’ll see that with time, they get even more beautiful as the leather becomes softer with use.

“You want to fall in love with a shoe, go ahead. A shoe can’t love you back, but, on the other hand, a shoe can’t hurt you too deeply either. And there are so many nice-looking shoes.” — Allan Sherman
