About the brand

Ancient Greek Sandals is a luxury footwear brand founded in 2012 by Christina Martini and Nikolas Minoglou, who connected over their shared love of Hellenic art and culture. The brand elevates traditional Greek tourist sandals through premium materials and superior craftsmanship, creating handmade footwear using techniques that have existed for centuries. Inspired by ancient mythology where gods had their sandals crafted by a gifted sandal maker on Crete, each pair features the brand's signature champagne-colored wing buckle referencing Hermes' flying sandals. Made locally by skilled Greek artisans using chemical-free natural leather, the sandals age beautifully with wear and feature raw edges joined with platinum rivets. The brand gained international recognition before achieving success in Greece, with celebrity endorsements from stars like Rihanna, Emma Watson, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Now expanding beyond footwear into bags and homewares, Ancient Greek Sandals maintains its commitment to authentic Greek craftsmanship.

What people are saying

New York Magazine

Similarly, the Ancient Greek Sandals' Eleftheria have been a “faithful travel companion” to Victoria Filippini... Even as someone whose feet swell in the heat, she hasn't ever gotten a blister from these. “I've worn them so much my toes are literally imprinted into the soles,” Filippini tells me.

Known for their handmade styles finished with woven leather details, ankle-wrapping straps and subtle embellishments, the brand is a firm favourite.

Who What Wear

However, the Saionara's flip-flop design, with a pop of colour and hint of playful jelly material, balances classic and trending in such harmony that I can see them becoming my most-worn summer shoe.

I bought some of the "comfort" ones from Ancient Greek Sandals and they're SO comfortable and I can walk for hours in them.

The Cut

Flexible, lightweight, and breathable because they are made from 100 percent rubber. They are easy to walk in, much more comfortable than I expected. I am prone to shin splints and can always tell the level of support a shoe provides by whether or not I start having some pain after a full day of wear; these passed the test.

The Cut

Just keep in mind that most of the cheaper alternatives are made from plastic and other synthetic materials, so they probably will not be as flexible or have as much traction as the rubber pair from Ancient Greek Sandals.

Who What Wear

These sandals may look hard on the sole but they are so comfy and sturdy—you won't even feel them on your feet.

Who What Wear

Whenever I wear the brand's Konaki sandals I almost always forget I have shoes on, they're that soft and comfortable to walk in.

These are giving The Row vibes—but for the fraction of the cost.

Ancient Greek sandals with the comfort sole are my absolute favorite. I've worn them casually or with dresses and have walked miles and miles all over Mexico and Europe on rocky streets and my feet never hurt in them. They are my holy grail sandals.

Ancient Greek Sandals' Saionara looks similar to The Row's flip-flop, but for a fraction of the cost. The Saionaras feature see-through jelly straps on a hand-stitched leather sole. “They feel like a grown-up Old Navy flip-flop,” Graves says.

The biggest difference between them is the Targets jellies' added padded sole: Walking in these is much more comfortable, and they feel a lot less flimsy than the Ancient Greek flats.
