A jute footbed is a sandal footbed woven from jute, a fast-growing natural plant fiber. It’s renewable, breathable, and naturally moisture-absorbing, keeping feet cooler and drier than synthetic foam alone. Our SolStitch® Nature's Weave™ footbed is the core of every sandal and insole we make.

Algae-based foam is a cushioning material made with algae harvested as a renewable input, then formed into a flexible foam. SolStitch® uses Bloom® algae-based blended foam in the mid and outsole of every sandal, providing each pair with featherweight cushioning underfoot.

Every SolStitch® sandal pairs the Nature's Weave™ natural footbed with a Bloom® algae-based blended foam with EVA for the mid and outsole and a textile strap. The footbed is woven from natural fibers. The outsole is made with algae-based foam. The strap is a finished woven textile fabric made with a blend of cotton and/or linen.

Yes. SolStitch® sandals contain no leather, suede, or animal-derived materials. The footbed is woven jute, the outsole is a blend of algae-based foam, and the strap is a textile finish.

Jute is one of the most sustainable natural fibers grown commercially. It matures in four to six months, uses far less water than cotton, and returns nutrients to the soil where it grows. Per acre, Jute absorbs as much harmful CO2 from the atmosphere as the Amazon rain forest. Our Nature's Weave™ footbed is woven with this natural fiber.

Jute sandals are comfortable in a way that foam-only sandals cannot match. The Nature's Weave™ jute footbed keeps feet cool, dry, and supported through a full day of wear. Woven jute allows air to flow through its fibers and absorbs moisture, keeping feet cooler and drier naturally.

No. Our Nature's Weave™ is uniquely woven to create a gentle massage-like sensation with every step. Given that the footbed is made from natural fibers, it will break-in over time to provide a custom fit.

SolStitch® sandals run true to standard sizing. If you typically wear a size 10 or 10.5 in most footwear, order the 10/10.5. If you find yourself between sizes (for example, a 10.5 and an 11), we recommend sizing up to the 11/11.5 for the best fit.

Yes. The Nature's Weave™ jute footbed pairs with a Bloom® algae-based blended foam mid and outsole that adds cushion and arch support without the weight. The full sandal is featherweight and ready for a long day on your feet.

All of our sandals share the same standard fit platform and sole dimensions. To ensure a comfortable fit, our styles feature flexible textile straps designed to hug the foot beautifully without permanently stretching out over time.

A SolStitch® sandal is woven, stitched, and finished to last across many seasons of wear. The jute footbed, algae-based foam outsole, and textile strap hold their shape, from the beach to the boardwalk to a Saturday at home.

Yes. The Nature's Weave™ jute footbed absorbs moisture and releases it back into the air, so feet dry faster, and the footbed stays fresh between wears. After heavy exposure to water, let your sandals air-dry before the next wear.

For everyday cleaning, wipe the footbed and strap with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with a little mild soap and water, then let the sandals air-dry away from direct heat. Avoid the washing machine and avoid soaking the sandals overnight.

Because our Nature's Weave™ footbed is crafted from premium natural fibers rather than synthetic foam, it will naturally wear over time with heavy, daily use. However, instead of just breaking down, these natural fibers are designed to "wear in", uniquely conforming to the shape of your foot for personalized comfort across seasons of wear.

The materials. The Nature's Weave™ footbed is woven from natural jute, a renewable plant fiber that grows back in months. The outsole is made with a blend of Bloom® foam, using algae as a renewable input. Every material choice has a specific reason rooted in how it grows and wears.

The jute used in the Nature's Weave™ footbed is sourced from regions where the fiber has been cultivated for generations. Jute is one of the most sustainable plant fibers in commercial use, growing quickly and replenishing the soil it grows in.

The Nature's Weave™ footbed is woven from a natural plant fiber that biodegrades under the right conditions. The Bloom® algae-based foam outsole and textile strap are made with renewable inputs but are not fully biodegradable in standard household compost. Material transparency is core to how SolStitch® talks about sustainability.
