Hoki Pokey



We're smitten with these brand-new, just in from Israel (how often do you hear THAT?) HOKI sandals. Juicy colors make them an easy pick-me-up, and the soft recycled plastic & orthopedic soles mean they are actually a comfy alternative to the knee-killing ubiquitous flip-flop. You may recognize the criss-cross style as a mainstay of your grandpa's wardrobe- they're a funny twist on a 70's classic, resurrected by an adventurous former ad exec with a keen eye for style. Shlomit Slavin bought the molds for the classic shoe and had them cast in brights like purple and turquoise, a far cry from the dusty brown and black versions she spotted on Joffa Road. Available now.
