Seconds: Women's Woven Sandal in Honey
All Seconds Program pairs are Final Sale. No returns.
We often say that brand new Woven Sandals are "comically" tight. That's because we don't use any chrome, chemicals or metals to tan and soften our leather. But once they start to form to your feet, they will stretch, soften and take on a rich patina. We highly recommend getting either your feet or new sandals damp in order to quicken the break-in process! They will stretch and fit your feet perfectly in no time.
Make sure to learn more in our "How Do I Choose the Right Size?" FAQ below to ensure you order the right size.
Overall condition and leather patina varies from like-new to slightly darker – some pairs have spent time in the sun or tried on more than once or might have light blemishes or scratches. Due to these characteristics, some pairs might even feel a bit broken in or softer, which we think is a huge score and are truly one-of-a-kind.
Some pairs in the Honey colorway might differ in patina between a light pale honey to a more rich, somewhat saturated honey. Leather takes on its patina the more you wear them and the elements they're exposed to (such as wearing them after getting out of the ocean), so they will darken and take on a deeper patina once you start wearing them.
Please note that images with models wearing styles display either brand new first-quality shoes or their own well-loved and well-worn shoes.

How do I choose the right size?
Woven Sandals fit best when they start out tight. Go up a full size. For example, if you’re normally a size 8, order a size 9.
It’s ok if your foot is very close to the back edge when they’re brand new, as long as your heel isn’t hanging over. They’ll stretch and soften to make more room.

Can I contribute my old or lightly worn Mohinders to the Seconds Program?
Unfortunately, at least at this moment, we cannot open our Seconds Program for people to also sell through (but maybe in the future!).
However, if you're looking to resell your Mohinders, we've partnered with Lucky Sweater, an app for trading handmade and vintage apparel – check them out! We're also big fans of Noihsaf Bazaar.
We're supporters of purchasing secondhand and continuing to give your Mohinders a second or third life as opposed to throwing away.
Who makes them and what are they made of?
Mohinders are based on handcrafted, iconic designs from Northern Karnataka, India. Each pair is made by master shoemakers in the shoes’ town of origin- Athani Village. Centuries-old technical skill plus modern updates make them distinctive, wearable shoes that only get better with time.
The primary material is our shoes is vegetable-tanned water buffalo leather also made by artisans in a village nearby Athani.
They also feature a cushioned footbed, soft leather lining, stacked leather midsole, and a durable and grippy crepe rubber sole.
What is the Seconds Program?
The Seconds Program is our way of having our Seconds, Sample, Archived and Discontinued pairs available online for a longer amount of time (like all-year-round!) than our periodic Sample Sales.
Instead of tossing, recycling or donating these pairs, which involves a lot of waste, energy and carbon footprint, we'd much rather see them be used and on people's feet and have a second or even third life. And, not to mention, provide our shoes at a lower price point compared to our regular collections.
New Shoes, Dirty Soles
Seconds are perfectly wearable, durable and are in like-new condition, but cosmetically, they didn't make the cut for full-price. We find these aspects totally natural because our shoes are naturally tanned and handmade.
Seconds vary from like-new leather to slightly-dappled leather with barely dusty to moderately dusty soles, as some have been tried-on outdoors and crepe rubber picks up dust easily, or were produced that way.
Handmade with perfect imperfections
There can be slight variations in color, scars on the leather, and certain imperfections. Embrace the imperfections and know that most of them will diminish or disappear with wear and time. If something is really bugging you, let us know and we'll work something out.
