From the moment I opened the packaging, I was impressed by the sleek design and beautiful Glacier colourway. The icy blue tones are perfect for summer, complementing a variety of outfits from casual jeans to flowy dresses. The craftsmanship is evident, with each strap and detail meticulously constructed.
Comfort and Fit
One of the standout features of the Whakata Ease Sandal is its comfort. Built with 100% recycled RPET Repreve webbing and a bio-EVA footbed, these sandals provide excellent cushioning and support. The stretch binding over the arch ensures a snug fit. Whether I’m strolling through the park with my family or attending a casual outdoor après event, these sandals stay comfortably in place.
The sandals feel incredibly light on my feet, making them perfect for long walks or days when I’m constantly on the go. They will be perfect for our summer camping trips as I can slip them on and off when going in and out of the tent. They are perfect for providing both stability and flexibility.

As a conscious consumer, I believe the eco-friendly aspect of these sandals is a major plus. Knowing that they are made with recycled polyester, vegan leather, and sugarcane bio-based content makes me feel good about my purchase. Oboz’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the product itself. Their One More Tree initiative, where they plant a tree for every pair sold, resonates deeply with me. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that my purchase contributes to reforestation efforts.
Cultural Respect and Integrity
The name “Whakatā” is thoughtfully chosen, meaning “to catch breath, rest, have a break” in Māori. Oboz consulted with and received approval from a Māori language and culture guide at Oboz’s New Zealand-based parent company, KMD Brands, ensuring respectful and accurate use of the name. This attention to cultural integrity is commendable and adds a layer of authenticity and respect to the product.

Additionally, Oboz offers a True Guarantee, ensuring that each pair is free from manufacturing defects. This guarantee provides peace of mind, knowing that the company stands behind their product.
