Kyoto Open-Toe Suede Sandals

Made in Germany, named for a Japanese city, and inspired by the label's Zürich style, the Birkenstock Kyoto sandals are as unique as they sound. Switching out the brand's signature buckle straps in favour of a more pared-down hook design, the open-toed pair is crafted from soft suede and features a layered upper. Of course, you've still got the all-important cork footbed – anatomically shaped and layered with foam for serious comfort.

• 100% suede

With its famously comfortable soft cork footbed, the 250-year old Birkenstock brand is enjoying a new wave of popularity, with its Boston suede clogs, Madrid and Arizona sandals stealing the spotlight thanks to cosy shearling and big buckle iterations.
