When it comes to shoes that outperform what you expect just looking at them, you won’t find a brand doing it better than Oliver Sweeney. The Oliver Sweeney Secret Shoe camouflaged everything you need to be to a secret agent, and now, their Explorer Espadrilles you see here meld simple design with high-quality, tactical materials to make these shoes suitable for anything. Made in collaboration with esteemed British Army officer and explorer Levison Wood, these are the world’s toughest espadrilles. The upper is made with a water-resistant neoprene material that molds to your foot and is finished with printed rubber mud guards on the toe and heel. That is paired with a closed sell molded footbed with shock absorption and recovery, along with a layer of Kevlar material on the insole for extreme protection. Combin that with the EVA midsole, Vibram rubber outsole and reflective finish on the front and back pull tabs, and you have the blueprints for a shoe that’s easy to wear, easier to see and durable enough to wear damn near anywhere. Oliver Sweeney Explorer’s Espadrilles are available now in Black Camo, Grey Camo, Green Camo and Navy colorways.
