The ponga is a versatile slip-on shoe built around a vegan suede upper using Clarino material from Kuraray, chosen for its durability and resistance to water and staining over genuine leather. The sole features a three-layer recovery construction with a bucket-seat-shaped midsole that reduces instability common to recovery footwear, delivers approximately 30% less impact on knees and lower back compared to firm-soled shoes, and promotes calf circulation at 1.5 to 2 times the normal rate. A two-way design allows the heel to be folded down for easy slip-on wear, making the shoe adaptable across casual, everyday, and light business settings. The outsole is made from lightweight recycled rubber.
