Hermes had his shoes crafted on the island of Crete, and the sandal maker embellished them with the messenger god’s ‘golden wings’ signature. Hence the shoe making tradition of the island began, and continues to be an inspiration for Ancient Greek Sandals, whose love of mythology is evident in each collection. Crafted from leather, these chestnut brown Clio dual strap sandals from Ancient Greek Sandals feature an ankle strap with signature wing buckle fastening, an open toe and a flat sole. POSITIVELY CONSCIOUS: Ancient Greek Sandals scores 3 out 5 by independent ethical brand rating agency Good On You.
