Story & heritage

Original Sandal is the Dr. Scholl’s footwear icon: the brand’s official wood-soles page calls it the “one and only Original Sandal” and notes that it has been loved since 1959.

Its appeal fits the wider Dr. Scholl’s story: a U.S. footwear and orthopedic foot-care brand started by podiatrist William Mathias Scholl in 1906, then carried from therapeutic products into everyday shoes.

Materials & craft

The current official description grounds the sandal in a natural beechwood clog sole, a contoured footbed, a metallic Dr. Scholl’s buckle and vintage-inspired rivet detailing.

Leather versions are described by the brand as responsibly sourced through Leather Working Group-approved factories, keeping the piece close to its original wood-and-strap construction.

How to choose & style

Treat it like a relaxed clog-sandal: denim, cotton dresses and linen trousers all suit the visible wood sole.

Black reads closest to vintage utility, while metallic or pale leather turns the same outline into a more polished summer shoe.
