The Ease is a slide-in sandal with lots of breathable stretch mesh and webbing for breezy cruising. Its bio-EVA footbed, made from 20% sugarcane, provides all-day comfort, while a stretch binding over the arch secures the foot. If you need to buckle down on any of the days that precede the weekend, you can. Responsibly made with recycled polyester, vegan leather, and sugarcane bio-based content.

Whakat, pronounced fah-cah-TAAH, is Mori for “to catch breath, rest, have a break”.

Oboz consulted and got approval from the Mori language and culture guide at Oboz’s New Zealand-based parent company, KMD Brands, for use of the name. Oboz intends to honor the Mori culture in the best way–both within KMD Brands’ company walls and in the broader community.
