Abstract: A durable sandal includes a composition rubber sole, a first composition rubber insole, and a unitary leather element including four straps and a second insole section of substantially the same shape as the first insole. Two of the straps having buckles attached thereto are substantially shorter than the other two and extend from one edge of the second insole section. The other two straps extend from an opposite edge of the second insole section. The unitary leather element is aligned with and peripherally sewn to the top surface of first composition rubber insole. The bottom surface of the composition rubber insole is adhesively bonded to an upper surface of the composition rubber sole.
