WHAT ARE RRAT’S DESIGNED FOR?

RRAT’s were designed with lots of uses in mind: from strolling around the city or travelling to tackling a fairly technical approach.

WHICH TERRAIN DO RRAT’S PERFORM BEST ON?

RRAT’s are all-terrain footwear, versatile and functional for outdoor sports. They perform brilliantly on all kinds of surfaces, from rocky ground to dirt tracks. So they give you security, stability and comfort, even on the toughest terrain.

WHAT ARE THEY MADE OF?

RRAT’s are made with top-quality materials: the polypropylene straps are 100% recyclable and just as soft to the touch as cotton. The Vibram sole, meanwhile, guarantees quality and grip. The Velcro fastenings hold your foot securely, and the technical non-slip lining on top of the sole maximises foot safety.

ARE RRAT’S SUSTAINABLE SANDALS?

At RRAT’s we love nature, which is why we develop sustainable footwear of the highest quality. 40% of each sandal is made from natural or recycled materials, and the polypropylene straps are 100% recyclable. We also use locally sourced raw materials to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible.

WHAT KIND OF SOLE DO THE SANDALS HAVE?

RRAT’s have a 10 mm high-density midsole. It's a completely flat sole, which is good for your lower back and your biomechanics. It's also a very flexible base that lets your feet bend and move naturally, while offering torsional stability, good cushioning and underfoot protection. The Vibram Megagrip® sole performs on both dry and wet surfaces and, together with the tread design, gives you reliable traction on a wide range of terrain.

WHAT KIND OF FIT DO RRAT’S HAVE?

RRAT’s have a natural-fit last: wide and specially designed to respect your foot's natural shape.

WHERE ARE RRAT’S MADE?

RRAT’s are designed and made in the Mediterranean area using materials from the region. That makes them a locally made product with a minimal carbon footprint throughout the whole production process.

CAN I WEAR THEM IN WINTER?

So you can wear your RRAT’s for more months of the year, we've teamed up with Lurbel to make merino wool socks. Their ergonomic design fits the sandal perfectly thanks to a separate big-toe pocket.

WHY ARE THEY CALLED RRAT'S?

The name comes from an absolute fascination with mountains like no others in the world: Montserrat. With incredible landscapes and breathtaking views, every walk along its paths brings a new discovery. Hence RRAT’s, from Montserrat: footwear made for enjoying the wild places closest to home, without limits and without stopping.
