Water friendly performance leather straps with eco-smart lining crafted from recycled PET bottles are not only ready to rumble poolside, but provide tremendous next-to-skin comfort. Moreover, they legitimately provided that break-in feel straight out of the box. The Cruz Controls’ straps are the perfect marriage between the snug fit of a performance flip and the more relaxed fit of a casual flip. No bickering in this marriage, just zen-like bliss for the top of your foot.
The Cruz Control features an injection molded midsole that makes up the cornerstone of what Freewaters refers to as their Heelium Series. This feather light midsole provides a sophisticated contoured footbed at half the price and weight of what’s available elsewhere. Better yet, this exclusive midsole technology doesn’t skimp out on the comfort and anatomical arch support you need to support your feet, knees and back when you’re wearing these flips all day — and trust us — you’ll be rockin’ these bad boys for days and weeks on end.
Together with the contoured footbed these features virtually eliminate toe drag as well as the strain and stress placed on feet, knees and back one would normally expect from wearing flips all day.
As an added bonus the Freewaters design team has thrown in a feature that we believe should be mandatory for all flips: a recycled eco-rubber patch stashed right where you need it most – the high wear heel area.
At a time when more than one company lays claim to an “out-of-the-box-no-break-in” fit, Freewaters seems to have actually accomplished that feat. A noteworthy accomplishment that alone merits a special place in your closet for these flips.
And considering that the purchase of one pair of Freewaters™ allows Project Freewaters to provide clean drinking water for an individual for one entire year, the Freewaters team may be well on their way to conquering the global clean water pandemic as well.
