Gumbies

Gumbies makes easy, recycled kit for time spent outdoors and in, from beach flip-flops and sliders to fireside slippers, lightweight trainers, sunglasses and a proper changing robe. If comfort with a lighter footprint is the goal, this is the brand to reach for.

Gumbies started with a flip-flop built from recycled rubber and has grown into a full recycled-materials range that still leads with comfort. Footwear is the heart of it: warm-weather flip-flops, sliders and sandals for the beach, campsite and poolside, cork-topped and water-ready styles among them, plus cosy slippers and faux fur lined slipper boots for the caravan, tent porch and home, and the Gumrunner, their recycled lace-up trainer for camp, travel and everyday. Alongside the shoes sit recycled sunglasses and the S-Cape changing robe, the piece you want at a cold beach or a wet trailhead. Fits cover men's and women's, roughly UK3 to UK9, plus S to L on the robe.

Pick Gumbies for the gear you live in once the walking boots come off. Most of it is light enough to pack, simple to rinse or brush clean, and made to slip on without fuss. Sizing runs true to standard UK sizes, so order your usual.

Prices run from £20 to £95 inc VAT. Cool off in the flip-flops, warm up in the slippers, or keep it casual in the trainers.
