We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Jax & Bard. Jax & Bard is a women owned company that handmakes clogs and sandals in Maine. Together we worked to develop the Puffin Sandal, named after the renowned Maine coast dweller. The Puffin Sandal is crafted with 100% recycled nylon and reclaimed wood. This sandal offers an adaptive fit and all-day comfort, and is sure to be a conversation starter.

This collaboration brings two Maine-based companies with a shared passion for durability, craftsmanship, and sustainable materials. The Puffin Sandal upper uses Flowfold’s noteworthy water-resistant outdoor performance fabric. Each yard of this specialty material recycles about ten plastic bottles and saves about one pound of carbon emissions. As is customary, the wood used for all Jax & Bard clogs is sustainable. They are made from carefully selected remnants of another process, reducing waste and our carbon footprint.

Our Puffin Sandal offers exceptional comfort and is ideal for any outdoor activity. Its soft and cushioned upper fabric is made from high-performance outdoor material. Not only is the design stylish, but it's also versatile enough for everyday wear.
