In recent years, while golf's popularity has increased, foot fatigue care after a round has become a challenge. However, many existing recovery sandals focus too much on 'softness', leading to complaints that they cause ankle instability and actually increase fatigue during long walks. Therefore, the California-based footwear brand 'freewaters', in collaboration with 'RUFFLOG', a brand that proposes a lifestyle centered around golf, has developed a limited model, the 'RFLG×FREEWATERS RECOVERY SANDAL'. This is not just a recovery sandal for rest, but a 'conditioning gear' that lightly propels you forward for the next step.
We are delivering a limited model that fuses RUFFLOG's cherished values of 'outdoor play' with freewaters' comfort and functionality.
◆ More than just soft
The base model features the 'Cloud9 Technology' for 'rebound and stability' that propels you forward, adopting freewaters' proprietary Cloud9 footbed. It is not just a soft recovery sandal; it achieves excellent rebound and stability without sinking too much.
Even after walking 18 holes or long periods of travel, it supports comfortable walking while reducing strain on your feet. From the golf course to the car, and even when heading out for a meal with friends.
It is designed to support a golfer's active day from the ground up.
◆ Design that naturally blends into 'outdoor play'
This collaboration was created with the theme of a recovery sandal that naturally blends into 'outdoor play'. We pursued a balance that is not too sporty, values a design that can be worn in town without looking out of place, yet is suitable for active use. Not just for golf, but also for travel, saunas, and weekend strolls.
It is a pair that seamlessly connects an active lifestyle with daily life.
◆ Wearing them contributes to solving the world's water problems. A pair embodying 'Keep My Water Place'
freewaters develops footwear with the concept of 'a fit that makes you want to go outside more', balancing comfort and environmental consideration. A portion of sales is returned to water projects aimed at improving global water issues, providing clean water support to regions with difficult access to safe water.
This collaboration with RUFFLOG was realized because both brands share the value of 'protecting your water place (playground) = Keep My Water Place', cherishing time spent playing in nature.
