Callisto

Description

In Greek mythology, Callisto or Kallisto (Greek: Καλλιστώ [kallisˈtɔː]) was a nymph, or the daughter of King Lycaon; the myth varies in such details. She was one of the followers of Artemis, or Diana for the Romans, who attracted Zeus (Jupiter). He transformed himself into the figure of Artemis and seduced her in this disguise. She became pregnant and when this was eventually discovered, she was expelled from Artemis’s group, after which a furious Hera (Juno, wife of her seducer) transformed her into a bear. Later, just as she was about to be killed by her son when he was hunting, she was set among the stars as Ursa Major (“the Great Bear”). She was the bear-mother of the Arcadians, through her son Arcas by Zeus.

These sandals are very comfortable and perfect for everyday wear. They are handmade to order in Greece with high quality genuine leather by local craftsmen using traditional techniques. Natural leather may vary from light beige to light brown and it depends on the particular hide.

The tan colour leather gets darker when exposed to the sunlight, ageing gracefully and classically.

Wearing leather sandals in wet weather conditions is not recommended.

They fit true to size and come in full sizes only. If in-between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

They come with leather lining and insole and with a high resistant rubber anti-slippery outsole.

Heel height 1.5 cms – 0.6 Inches (approx.)
