Technology Meets Style

I can't believe it's already almost mid-July and that summer is half over. It always goes too fast - and I feel like I'm only just starting to get to wearing my favorite summer clothes and to-do list. We have so much we want to do this summer - as simple as just getting to the pool more often!  
No matter what we've been doing, my style has been simple. Breezy and easy tops with skirts and slip on shoes. I add big sunnies to hide my tired eyes and a bold pout and that's it!  Lots of neutrals lately, too.

Fortunately for our egos and our health, Rhea has recognized just how preventable these slips and falls are. The company applies an advanced form of anti-slip technology to flip-flops and other street shoes. With men's and women's sandals, boots and slip-on flats, Rhea offers a fully patented outsole with a .6 friction coefficient, the highest in the industry. The NEVERSLIP outsole is made from an exclusive rubber compound capable of enduring extreme conditions, while the tread pattern on the bottom of the sole pushes liquid away to provide more sole-to-surface contact. Also, their boots feature water resistant material to both reduce watermarks and keep your feet dry.

Rhea Sandals-Summer-Vacation-Beach-Duos-Candy-Bar-Nonslip

Her epic fall inspired me to bring along something functional & stylish (well, maybe not as stylish as the Ruthie Davis she was wearing) on my Maldives trip. So I brought my new RHEA Duos Candy Bar sandals with me to Conrad Maldives.

Other than my runners, I counted on my RHEA sandals to keep me safe through the whole trip, thinking 90% of the time my feet would be wet. After all, what’s more to do in Maldives other than playing on the beach and lazing by Conrad Maldives’ infinity pool with an incredible view of the endless, glittery sea?

The outsole of my Rhea sandals is trimmed to give a sleek design, and it has enough cushion to keep me comfortable all day.

Not only that, but easily the coolest thing about Rhea Footwear is their patented technology that is employed on the outsole. It basically feels like basketball shoes do on a court. Imagine that confident grip and traction, but instead you're wearing sandals on wet or slick surfaces.

When these pretty little mint and blush sandals showed up in the mail, I was inspired by them to make a swimsuit coverup. I've been hanging on to this palm print fabric for a few weeks and had no idea what to make with it, but as soon as I saw these sandals the idea was sparked. Plus, it's a super easy dress to make, so snag yourself a pair of Rhea's pretty sandals, make yourself a coverup, and you're ready for summer!

Spring has finally sprung and with it, sandal season. Just in time, California-based footwear start-up Rhea has engineered a line of sandals specifically for traction on slick, wet surfaces. Through a year of research and development Rhea refers to as the "Grip Project," Rhea came up with a "Griptech" rubber compound similar to the rubber used in space shuttles for maximum grip and durability. The treads are designed to push liquids away for increased contact between the sole and the dock, dinghy, or cockpit.

The sandals use Rhea’s fully patented outsole technology. One of the videos on Rhea Footwear’s Kickstarter page demonstrates this technology against other sandals. The sandals are offered in four different colors – burgundy, navy, green, and black. The sandals also use a midsole cushion to provide extra comfort and a special fabric infused within the strap to provide extra strength.

“Currently there are no other sandals in the market that utilize this outsole technology. Sandals benefit so much from this technology because you are likely to step on wet and slippery surfaces while wearing them,” says CFO John Lee.
