Why Cork Footbeds Are Awesome!
Your Sandals Shouldn't Embarrass You
You know that moment—you walk into someone’s house, they ask you to take your shoes off, and your sandals suddenly feel... shy. The footbed is darkened, kinda gross, maybe even has a dirt footprint in the footbed. You start wishing you’d worn socks. (We get it.)
That’s the problem with most suede footbeds...Suede feels great, and can be cleaned...but do you actually clean them? Suede is quick to absorb sweat, oils, and dirt. After a summer of fun, they end up looking like they’ve been through battle. Not exactly “leave-them-at-the-door” material.
The Triple Cork Difference
At Gypsy Footwear, we designed our Triple Cork Sandals and Flip-Flops with something better: a lightweight, high-density cork footbed that’s breathable, supportive, and—most importantly—doesn’t look like you betrayed your hygiene habits.
Unlike suede, cork resists staining, darkening, and breaking down. It wears in, not out. That means your sandals stay looking new longer, even after dozens of dog walks, farmers markets, and spontaneous road trips. They’re the kind of shoes you’ll actually CAN kick off at the door. You might even get a few "where did you get those?" comments!
But Wait, Don’t We Sell Suede Too?
Yep. We sure do. In fact, four of our best-selling styles come with suede footbeds—and customers love them. Suede is cozy, plush, and great for folks who want that buttery feel underfoot. But we believe in giving people options. If you're looking for something that lasts longer and looks cleaner, cork might just be your new go-to.
It’s about matching the right shoe to the right lifestyle. If your days involve riverside walks, long dog park hangs, and sandals that double as your go-to grocery run and adventure pair, Triple Cork Chloe or Jessica Triple Cork Flip-Flop are your ride-or-dies.
