Parnosas
Thinnest sandal with microfiber footbed
About the Parnosas
Named after the Parnonas mountain range located east of Sparta, the Parnosos sandals are made for trail blazing. They are built like a tank and at the same time give you the ground feel of your bare feet. Gravel, protruding roots, lava stones; throw anything at them and they will grind through and keep your feet safe from harm. The Parnosas feature a **0,8mm** thick **microfiber footbed** that has the feel of leather but with a greater capacity to manage moisture. This makes it the sandal of choice when your planning to do a lot of running in wet conditions. The microfiber footbed is pressure glued to a **5mm Vibram Lisk Newflex rubber sole.** This sole has an aggressive tread pattern and exceptional resistance to wear. It is thin, strong, comfortable, and gives you all the traction you need when venturing off the paved roads. Like all Panta sandals the Parnosas feature the **3-in-1 strap system**. One continuous strap is fixed to the sole with a full metal plug. A single sliding buckle gives you three options for wearing. They're shipped as pictured in what we call the diagonal-fixed set-up. This is the most all-round set-up that we've chosen as the standard set-up for our sandals.
