Benjamin 1
The Benjamin is a lightweight travel sandal built for women who need a shoe that can keep up with a packed itinerary. Crisscross stretch ankle straps provide a secure, flexible fit that moves with your foot, and a reinforced toe strap with a leather underlay keeps your toes from sliding forward on uneven ground. It's a small detail that makes a real difference on cobblestone streets and long walking days.
A padded insole delivers cushioned comfort from morning sightseeing to evening dinners, and the 1-inch faux-cork wedge gives you a subtle lift without any of the instability of a taller heel. The elastic upper stretches to accommodate your foot shape, making the Benjamin a comfortable option for women with bunions or wider feet.
The Benjamin is also machine washable. After a week of vacation wear, just toss them in the wash and they come out looking fresh. That kind of easy care is what makes this sandal a packing essential.
Handmade in Mexico, the Benjamin is available in 10+ colors and finishes, from classic Linen and Denim to ruffle-detail and shimmer options. Whether you need a go-to travel sandal, a comfortable everyday flat, or a machine washable shoe you can style up or down, the Benjamin has been a best seller for a reason.
