Grace is the everyday thong in the women's range, and the only one with a fabric upper. The V-strap is cut from printed textile rather than moulded PU, which is what makes it comfortable from the first wear — fabric gives against the foot straight away instead of needing to soften first.
The V meets at a toe post and widens across the instep, holding the foot at the front as well as across the top. Underfoot, the footbed is moulded in a fine diamond texture that runs the full length, so the foot grips the surface rather than sliding on it.
The sole is where Grace differs from everything else here. Instead of a flat sidewall, it is cut into deep blocks of tread that run across the width — a proper lugged outsole, closer to a walking sole than a flip-flop one. That is what makes it the pair to reach for when the floor is wet or the road is uneven.
This colourway is black throughout, with the strap printed in a streaked orange, white and brown pattern — the one bright thing on an otherwise all-black shoe.

Easy to clean — wipe the strap with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct sun. A fabric upper holds a stain longer than PU, so wipe it sooner rather than later. Do not machine wash.
The one for the school run, the market, the walk to the shops — worn daily rather than saved for occasions.
