Why Cork Is at the Heart of Plakton Footwear

Cork has long been part of Plakton's story. The material is valued for its light feel and natural character, and it is featured in the footbeds of many Plakton styles.

A natural material with a distinct feel

Cork is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, which can regenerate after harvesting. Skilled workers remove the bark carefully so the tree can continue growing. This traditional practice is one reason cork is closely connected to the landscapes and craftsmanship of the Mediterranean region.

At Plakton, cork is part of a design approach that brings together nature, comfort, and contemporary style. Product materials vary by model, so check each product page for the exact details of a specific pair.
