Therm-a-Rest branded sandals made with Freewaters

If I said Therm-a-Rest then I'm sure most of you reading would instantly think inflatable sleeping mats, and I'm sure many of you (like me) own a Therm-a-Rest. What may not spring to mind is sandals, but all that is soon to change. Therm-a-Rest and footwear manufacturer Freewaters have partnered to create a Therm-a-Rest sandal.

Freewaters aren't just a footwear company — as the name suggests there is another element to them. Freewaters believe that access to clean drinking water is a fundamental human right, and each pair sold helps support global clean drinking water projects.

On the new range of Therm-a-Rest sandals, Freewaters co-founder Eli Marmar said: "This type of partnership is something rare and really special, not only do Freewaters and Therm-a-Rest have perfectly symbiotic product technologies, we also share a passion for transforming lives through clean drinking water projects."

The sandals contain a proprietary foam formula which provides the unique combination of instant comfort with strong rebound and durability. The signature Therm-a-Rest ridge pattern provides grip, flexibility, air circulation and water drainage. Combine all this with Freewaters' ergonomic midsoles and attention to fit, and the result is a genuine departure in sandal comfort and performance.

Freewaters are an American company based in California — you can visit Freewaters' website. At the time of writing there was no confirmed information on whether these sandals would come to the UK.
