Flat Sandals Australia: The Luxury of Comfort and Timeless Style
When summer arrives, there is one style of shoe we return to year after year: flat sandals.
Simple, elegant and effortlessly comfortable, a beautiful pair of flat leather sandals can take you from a long lunch to a luxury resort holiday, a beach wedding, sightseeing through European villages or an evening by the water.
At Ankalia, we believe flat sandals should be more than simply practical. They should be beautiful, luxurious, comfortable and timeless — sandals you look forward to wearing every summer. https://ankalia.com/collections/ankalia-sandals
Luxury Flat Sandals, Handcrafted in Australia
Ankalia is an Australian sandal brand based in Perth, Western Australia, creating limited-edition luxury sandals for women who appreciate beautiful craftsmanship and understated elegance.
Each pair is handcrafted by Ankalia founder and creative director Cheryl Botha, who trained in Italy in the traditional art of sandal making.
Our sandals are made in small batches rather than mass produced. This means every pair receives the care and attention that comes with genuine artisan craftsmanship.
For us, luxury isn’t about having more. It’s about having something beautifully made that you will love wearing for years.
Why Choose Flat Sandals?
There is something wonderfully liberating about a summer without high heels.
Flat sandals are ideal for women who want to look stylish without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re walking along a beach, exploring a resort, enjoying a summer lunch or spending the day sightseeing, a well-made pair of flat sandals allows you to keep moving comfortably.
And flat doesn’t have to mean boring.
At Ankalia, our collection includes everything from beautifully understated leather sandals to glamorous designs embellished with genuine Swarovski crystals.
Comfortable Flat Leather Sandals for Summer
The foundation of every great sandal is the leather.
Ankalia sandals feature premium Tuscan Italian leather soles, selected for their beautiful feel, breathability and comfort.
Quality leather can soften and mould to your feet with wear, making your sandals feel increasingly comfortable over time.
This makes Ankalia flat sandals particularly suited to warm-weather dressing, when you want your feet to feel comfortable and cool throughout the day. https://ankalia.com/collections/ankalia-sandals
Flat Sandals With a Touch of Sparkle
For those occasions when you want something a little more special, Ankalia’s Swarovski crystal sandals bring glamour to the classic flat sandal.
Our genuine Swarovski crystal designs are inspired by the effortless glamour of summer in Italy and the beautiful jewelled sandals traditionally associated with the island of Capri.
Imagine sparkling crystals catching the sunlight as you walk beside the ocean, or adding a little evening glamour to a simple summer dress.
They are the perfect alternative to high heels when you want your footwear to feel special without being uncomfortable.
Flat Sandals for Luxury Resort Holidays
A luxury holiday is often the perfect opportunity to leave the high heels at home.
Think barefoot walks along white sandy beaches, long lunches overlooking turquoise water, afternoons beside the pool and sunset cocktails by the ocean.
These are no-heel holidays.
A beautiful pair of flat leather sandals is all you need to complete your resort wardrobe.
Ankalia sandals are perfect for destinations such as the Maldives, Tahiti, the Greek Islands, Bali, Noosa, Port Douglas and Broome — anywhere your summer wardrobe calls for effortless resort style.
Flat Sandals for Weddings
Flat sandals are also becoming a beautiful choice for brides and wedding guests.
For a beach wedding, garden wedding, tropical island wedding or luxury resort wedding, high heels aren’t always practical.
A pair of elegant flat wedding sandals allows you to walk comfortably across sand, grass and outdoor spaces while still looking beautifully dressed.
Our delicate pearl and Swarovski crystal sandals can add just the right amount of sparkle to a bridal look.
And because they are comfortable enough to wear throughout the celebration, you won’t necessarily need to change into another pair of shoes when the dancing begins.
The Ankalia Woman
The Ankalia woman loves summer.
She is worldly, well travelled and inspired by beautiful destinations around the world. She appreciates luxury, but doesn’t need to shout about it.
Her style is cool, chic, understated and elegant.
She wants to look beautiful but she also wants to walk.
She might be exploring Capri, enjoying lunch in Noosa, wandering through a Greek island village or spending a week at a luxury resort in the Maldives.
And she knows that sometimes the most luxurious thing you can wear is a beautiful pair of comfortable flat sandals.
Flat or a Little Heel?
While many women love the simplicity of a completely flat sandal, sometimes a tiny bit of height feels just right.
That’s why many Ankalia designs are available in a choice of flat or a cute little 2cm heel.
The 2cm heel provides a subtle lift while maintaining the easy, walkable feeling of a flat sandal.
So whether you prefer completely flat sandals or a barely-there heel, you can choose the style that feels best for you. https://ankalia.com/collections/ankalia-sandals
