RIG FOOTWEAR / Waduki Sandals

RIG FOOTWEAR
A recovery sandal brand born in Japan in 2019 after four years of research into the differences between the foot characteristics of Westerners and Japanese. Designed to provide the most comfort for Japanese feet, the sandals are perfect for work, post-exercise relaxation, and as an everyday wear option for those with back pain or hernias, offering reduced strain on the feet and back compared to rigid sandals.







Minimalist and Comfortable Design with One Rope
Featuring RIG's unique construction, the upper and heel are connected by a single rope. The front drawstring allows for easy fit adjustments, without the need for laces.
The minimalistic design eliminates unnecessary parts, giving a clean look while maintaining comfort and style.







Perfect Balance of Cushioning, Rebound, and Lightness
The three-layer structure of the footbed, midsole, and outsole reduces shock to the feet and lower back by about 40%, ensuring comfort even during long-term use. The midsole is designed in a bucket seat shape to support stable walking, offering an appropriate energy return for natural propulsion.



The outsole is crafted to be as durable as a full-fledged shoe, enabling smooth walking on both city streets and light trails.





Minimal Volume, Urban Sandal
Unlike typical recovery sandals, the clean and modern look of these sandals does not have the bulky feel often associated with other styles.
The slight volume and sleek silhouette make them a perfect match for shorts or slim pants. Furthermore, pairing them with colorful socks enhances the relaxed look with an added touch of style.

They elevate any relaxed outfit, offering a modern vibe.
