The sandals that caught my eye!

The sandals had caught my eye on social media several times just for the funky, colourful soles, and as I live by the sea, I really loved the eco sentiment. I was due a treat so bought my first pair in black. They are extremely comfy and no rubbing or discomfort whatsoever. They have been the subject of a few conversations so I hope the message gets spread further. May have to “treat” myself next summer with perhaps some colour! Thank you. X

Awesome shoes

These shoes are not super cheap so I was a little nervous to buy them. I needn't have worried! They seem very good quality and fit to my feet much better than I expected. After a summer of wear, they're showing no signs of damage.
The colour is gorgeous.

As the sole is stiff, they're not ideal for prolongued walking and start to rub my arches. Otherwise very comfortable!

I love the ethos behind the company and the transparency on the website about the materials used.

Love these sandals

Love these sandals. So comfy and I am so happy that they recycle waste 😀
They are little on the pricey side for general consumption, which is the only issue I think.

The product is awesome and comfortable. Love the orange colour - is my personal colour of summer.
At first I had the wrong size but the exchange was fast and without problems!
Love everything!

overall feelgood experience

I not only love them visually, they are also great go walk in (after some time with mini blisters since the take a little rime to perfectly fit your feet) and with that comes a good feeling by not only having vegan shoes, but also some that actually use recycled material. love that!

Great looking sandals and very comfortable. I'm a size 8.5 and the 42 fits well. I found the customer services quick and friendly.

The product and ethos behind the…

The product and ethos behind the product is lovely, l was looking forward to receiving and wearing my sandals but ordered the wrong size. I was horrified that after spending nearly £100 on them, l had to pay £9 to return them. For an online shoe experienced his is unacceptable as of course people will want to try the shoes on etc, and if the size is not the right fit,they should be le to return free of charge.So because of a very poor customer service experience l give a poor rating, and my advise would to go to a shop to try for you buy with this brand.

Hi Julia,

Thanks for your honest feedback. We totally understand how disappointing it is to pay for a return. Ordering shoes online can be tricky, and we know that sizing isn’t always straightforward.
We do charge a return fee, and while we realise that’s not ideal, it’s something we’ve chosen to do as part of our commitment to reducing unnecessary shipping and waste. As a small brand focused on sustainability, we’ve found that offering free returns can unintentionally encourage over-ordering or “try-on hauls,” which unfortunately increases emissions and packaging waste. By asking customers to cover part of the return cost, we hope to encourage more mindful purchases while still offering the option to return if something doesn’t work out.

That said, we hear you - and we’re actively working on improving our sizing guides to offer a more detailed fit advice, so fewer people end up in this situation in the first place.

We’re sorry this left a sour taste, especially when you were excited about the product and what it stands for. We’d love to help you find the right fit next time around.

I stumbled across Nuocean by accident…

I stumbled across Nuocean by accident while deciding if I was going to take the leap and buy another well know brand of sandal!
I absolutely love the concept! I love that someone’s crazy story of how they lost their flip flop could be a part of my new sandals haha.
They seem a little stiff at first but don’t worry after a couple of wears they soften up and are super comfy!
I bought them in January time when there was a bit of a sale on, so only really wore them in the house to break them in, now the nicer weathers arrived they’ve been on a few little adventures and have been incredibly comfortable!

Bought for a Christmas present

Bought for a Christmas present, as I like to spread the cost over a few months.

Gave them to my daughter who is very pleased with them. She likes anything which is sustainable, so these went down a treat. Only given an approximate date of when purchased, as I really can’t remember, sorry

Not a review writer

Not a review writer, I'm afraid, too old! Just want to say I absolutely lovely my 'furry' Nuoceans sandals. They are beautiful, very comfortable indeed and I am proud of them. I keep looking at the delightful colourful strip and thinking of all the lost and broken flip flops that helped to create this, it makes me smile. Thank you so much for them, I love them.

I bought a pair for my husband

I bought a pair for my husband. At first, he laughed, saying that he looked like a German tourist. Then he doubted the colourfulness & how this connects to his masculinity. At that point I realised it was too quick & too soon for him. A gentle approach was needed.
I started with a Google picture from ancient Sumer & stone carvings of Anunaky giants wearing this type of sandals. Then, holding his hand through the sustainability, recycling & meaning of every purchase, we found ourselves on the path of comfort. After one week of trial at home ( so he can build his confidence 🤭) & work out with them, now
that's the only shoes he wears!!!!
" No more trainers for me " he added 👏🏻
That's the Truth & Ony Truth.
As the quality of the product - AMAZING! Hoping they will last Forever 🫶🏻
This is an honest review with entertainment purpose
Thank you
