Curated to feel 👣
Designed to be free🦶
Made with love ♥️

John & Nicole at Common Tread designed the Sierra Sandal with intention. Implementing suggestions from the greater Common Tread community and as always, guided by how feet are naturally meant to move, the Sierra Sandal is about returning to something simpler.

A rich brown leather sandal that moves easily between moments - from slow mornings at home to stepping out into the world.

The beauty is that you won't feel like you're wearing anything on your feet with room to move and strengthen your feet, while you continue with your everyday rhythms. Pairing beautifully with any outfit, they'll look even better with age.

Available now at 📍The Grounded Sole
