The jandal you reach for without thinking. Black goes with every pair of shorts you own, and the Malibu is built to be lived in: a moulded footbed that shapes to your foot within a few wears, a strap that does not rub, and so little weight you forget it is on for a long walk down the beach.

Sand, salt and water wash straight off, so it goes from the surf to the dairy to the deck without a second thought.

From Christchurch-based Walkable Beach, in women's sizes 37 to 42. The pair that lives by the back door all summer.
