Ankalia Sandals
The Sandals You’ll Live In This Summer
When the weather warms up, nothing beats the ease of a perfectly made pair of leather sandals. Light, breathable, and effortless, they keep you cool and comfortable while adding instant style to every summer outfit - from coffee catch-ups to sunset dinners. Ankalia takes these timeless staples and turns them into something extraordinary.
Each pair is individually handcrafted with buttery-soft Tuscan, Italian leather and finished with limited-edition details that make them truly unique. Swarovski crystals are the embellishments, catching the light with every step, while subtle gold or silver trims and a choice of flat or low-heel designs bring together comfort and luxury in one. More than just sandals, they’re pieces of wearable art designed to last season after season.
Choosing your perfect pair
Ankalia sandals are offered in Italian sizing 35‑43 (Australian 4-12). To find the correct size, measure the length of an existing flat sandal (heel to toe) and match it to the size chart. You can select either a flat (1 cm) sole or a cute little 2 cm heel – the heel version includes a steel rod in the arch for extra support and sits only 1 cm higher. High‑quality Italian leather straps are soft and breathable and will mould to your feet over time, the toe post softens quickly and can be eased with a little moisturiser.
We can also lengthen or shorten the strap across the top of your foot to accommodate high arches or narrower feet. Each pair is handcrafted to order and usually ships within three days. To keep your sandals looking beautiful, store them in the provided cloth bag and gently clean crystals with a dry cloth and leather parts with a quality leather cleaner.
