Sharp edges. Soft landings.

The Prickle is a all-in-one-piece 3D-printed thong sandal built around a gyroid lattice that acts like thousands of tiny springs inside the sole. It compresses under pressure and bounces back with every step, creating lightweight cushioning and natural energy return.

3D Printed in bio-based TPU that's flexible, durable, fully recyclable, and ISO 10993 certified for biocompatibility.

Looks like it could bite. Feels surprisingly polite. Sometimes appearances are misleading.

Shoe Size Guide

Find your size using foot length — the most accurate way to size a shoe. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up. All measurements shown in inches by default.

How To Measure Foot Length

Step by Step

1
Tape a piece of paper to a hard flat surface — ensure it doesn't slip.
2
Stand on the paper with weight evenly balanced. Only one foot on the paper at a time.
3
With a pen held straight down, mark the tip of your longest toe and the back of your heel.
4
Measure the distance between the two marks. This is your foot length.
5
Repeat for your other foot. Use the larger measurement to find your size.
6
If your measurement falls between two sizes, size up.

Quick Conversion

→
EU size = (foot mm + 17.33) ÷ 6.67
→
US Men's = EU − 33
→
US Women's = EU − 31 (whole sizes — size up if between)
→
UK = EU − 33.5

JP / CM = foot length in centimetres
Note: CM / JP size shown is foot length in cm — this may differ from the CM number printed on the shoe box, which refers to last length, not foot length.

Width: Standard width is D (Men's) and B (Women's). If you have wide feet, look for E / 2E width options.
