Lotus Handmade Sandals
Lotus handmade sandals have totally adjustable leather ties that wrap around and around your ankle. They are made from the highest-quality vegetable-tanned leather, and are soled with natural rubber that flows from tropical trees. The soling provides unparalleled comfort, yet allows you to detect all the earth's features as you walk. Stitching the components together avoids the use of toxic shoe cements. Restitching is always free.
To order, send an outline of your feet drawn w/ a pencil. Or, simply stand on a piece of paper against the wall, and have someone place a mark at the tip of your longest toe. Send me the measurement from the edge of the paper to the tip of that toe, and I'll send you sandals for that length foot, in the standard shape shown.
Price for sandals: $65.00 plus $5.00 shipping.

Starpath Handmade Sandals and Shoes
Starpath sandals and shoes have a low heel and the natural shape of feet. The sandals are especially suited to wear while dancing, as the ankle strap and leather heel counter provide the support you need.
I use the finest leather and the most shock-absorbent soling materials available. An arch support is built into the sandals. The highest grade of orthopedic cushioning can also be added, please inquire.
These sandals and their straps are completely lined, so they keep their original shape through years of wear.
Sandals and shoes are available in women's sizes 4-12, in medium, wide, and narrow widths. There is an extra charge of $25.00 for extra-wide or extra-narrow widths.
