Soles for Souls

The Famolare But What is an open-toe platform sandal from the HI THERE collection, featuring a thick leather upper and an adjustable ankle back strap. It has a 1 1/8" platform and 3 1/4" heel and is available in Coal, Honey, and Earth at $178. The But What is handcrafted in North America on Famolare's three-wave HI THERE platform sole.

The Famolare But What has a 1 1/8" platform at the forefoot and a 3 1/4" heel. Because it's a platform construction, where the entire sole is elevated, the foot stays in a natural, parallel-to-ground position rather than pitching forward as it would with a heel-only elevation of the same height. This makes the But What significantly more comfortable and stable than a traditional 3 1/4" heel.

Yes, the Famolare But What was designed for occasions where you'll be on your feet for extended periods. The HI THERE three-wave platform sole absorbs heel shock, cushions the arch, and rolls the foot forward naturally at height. The adjustable back strap keeps the sandal secure and stable. Customers regularly wear the But What all day at events, festivals, and evenings out.

Both are Famolare HI THERE platform sandals at the same sole height (1 1/8" platform, 3 1/4" heel, $178). The But What features a thick open-toe leather upper with a back strap, a more minimal vamp design that showcases more of the foot. The Cross Your Heart features leather straps that cross over the vamp with a back strap, a more structured, wrapped upper with a crossover aesthetic.

The Famolare But What is currently available in Coal (black), Honey (warm cognac tan), and Earth (warm brown), all priced at $178. All three colorways feature the same thick leather open-toe upper and HI THERE three-wave platform sole. Check the collection page for any new seasonal colorway additions.
