Birch Tallow

A shoe made for summer.

Lightweight, breathable and easy to wear. The Birch was designed for warm days and long summers. Open mesh, soft materials and the reduced construction create an airy feel with every step. The thin sole supports a more natural walking experience while keeping the shoe flexible and comfortable. Just slip in and go.

The monochrome color palette and subtle textures give the Birch its calm and understated look. Lightweight, suitable for barefoot wear and made for days when a good shoe should simply work.

Note: Fits true to size.
