Tired of sandals that feel like they were designed by someone who’s never actually walked anywhere? The Lems Switchback Sandals ($120) are here to revolutionise your foot-based adventures. After four years of intense sandal-brainstorming, they’ve emerged with a single piece of webbing wizardry called the “Switchback Slydr™” – sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie for your feet.

This clever system promises the perfect adaptable fit with just one buckle, so no more faffing with a million straps. The “Barefoot Footbed™” is shaped like an actual foot (imagine that!), making these minimalist marvels ideal for everything from battling river rapids to conquering airport security. With a grippy rubber outsole and comfy EVA midsole, they’re ready for rugged trails or just a gentle stroll to the pub. Finally, sandals that understand feet aren’t just flat planks.
