American manufacturer of leather and EVA-based sandals targeted at the beach, adventure and action sports markets Ocean Minded, Inc., has launched its first line of closed-toe footwear at the Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City.

Made of canvas with a metal-free suede upper and incorporating Crocs’ proprietary Croslite material in the footbed and midsole, in keeping with the company’s eco-friendly approach the soles of the shoes are made from recycled car tyres, while the styles also include hemp laces and bamboo linings.

Established in 1996, Ocean Minded was acquired by Crocs, Inc. in 2007.
