YolSandals — Reflexology Sandals, Clogs & Insoles
Inner & outer sole
The design of the YolSandals soles is what makes them unique, and the material we use stands out for how highly recyclable it is: they're made from a synthetic rubber (a TPR compound) blended with up to 10% recycled rice husk, produced under our "BE-TECH" bio- and eco-recycling system and a "Km.0" (local-production) concept that keeps its carbon footprint to a minimum. It's odourless, fully recyclable, and resistant to hand-washing without cracking or growing mould. We recommend avoiding prolonged direct sunlight. Like every YolSandals material, it's made in Spain under REACH, so the composition and manufacturing are independently guaranteed safe. The outsole is EVA rubber — the industry standard for this kind of footwear, valued for being durable, recyclable and highly slip-resistant on wet ground.
The vegan straps
As material for the straps we have chosen a vegan leather. It is a synthetic material, very resistant to friction, changes in temperature and humidity. It is carefully dyed with antiallergic dyes. For all this it carries the "Eco Tex Standard 100" certificate. In order to guarantee a perfect fit of the foot, the straps are adjustable, thanks to the metal buckles, matt gold color, nickel free. It is normal for them to loosen slightly after the first use, thus adapting 100% to your foot. An extra hole can be added with a leather punch, if needed. The design is unisex.
The wool upper
Made from robust Wollwalk, a densely milled 100% new wool that's naturally soft, breathable and mulesing-free. A wool trim finishes the edge, and inside, a shaped cork layer adds an extra note of comfort above our signature reflexology sole. The wool fabric is milled in our manufactory in Tyrol, Austria, and every pair is finished by hand at our partner workshop in Eastern Europe, under strict, regularly checked quality standards.
Wear it your way
This is exactly the piece described above, now offered on its own. Slip it into whichever shoes you already own and bring the same reflexology stimulation to every step, for a set amount of time. Note: the YolSandals insole sits higher than most conventional insoles; even so, it fits not only our recommended Gottstein model but also any other footwear with a removable anatomical insole, such as certain Birkenstock or Surippa models. Surippa tends to run one size smaller than ours, so we recommend ordering one size up. Hand wash only; not machine washable.
