LA SPORTIVA
JANDAL

For someone like me who suffers from hay fever, this season can be tough.
I usually just grit my teeth and get through it without any special measures,
but this year I decided to switch tactics: instead of trying to stop my runny nose, I’ve gone with the “let it all out” approach.
Upgrading to “Nose Celeb” tissues has definitely eased the burden on my nose, and I think it’s made things more manageable than usual.

On that note, let me introduce an item that’s become my own little upgrade—LA SPORTIVA’s JANDAL.

Until now, I’ve always avoided thong-style sandals, opting instead for designs without the toe post.
My main concerns were fit and grip, and in my experience, thong sandals often felt loose or floppy, which made them uncomfortable to walk in.

But when the sandals are made by LA SPORTIVA—a globally trusted name in outdoor gear—that hesitation fades.
The brand’s dedication to fit and traction, central to its DNA, completely changed my perception. These sandals are secure and stable, and they’ve overturned the negative image I used to have.

They’re comfortable to walk in, stress-free, and ideal not just for everyday wear but also for travel or as approach shoes for hikes.
The simple design is elevated with a unique top sheet that features a map of the Dolomites, where LA SPORTIVA is based in Italy.

The price point is also very reasonable, making them a great gift option.
One note: they run slightly long, so I recommend sizing down about 1 cm from your usual sneaker size.

So this season, I’ve upgraded both my tissues and my sandals.
Why not treat yourself to a small upgrade too?
Maybe next time it’ll be snacks.
