WOLKY

Wolky is a Dutch comfort footwear brand known for anatomically shaped footbeds and memory foam cushioning. It was founded in the Netherlands in 1982 by brothers Kees and Jan Diks, and it remains a family owned company. Wolky says its shoes are designed in the Netherlands, and our page notes that production moved to Portugal as demand grew. At Sole Provisions, the Wolky collection includes sandals, closed shoes, and special collections with removable footbeds, and it sits naturally beside our wider women's sandals, women's footwear, and arch support shoes selections.

A Dutch Family Company With Comfort at the Core

Wolky began in 1982 when the Diks brothers set out to improve on the traditional cork footbed. The company has stayed family owned and has been in comfort shoes for over 40 years. If you enjoy European comfort brands with a clear point of view, you may also enjoy Naot and Rieker.

Anatomically Shaped Footbeds

Wolky uses anatomically shaped footbeds rather than treating the insole as a flat layer of padding. The shape follows the contours of your foot so support is built into the footbed itself. Many models have removable footbeds, though construction varies by style, so check each product page. To add your own support, explore our shoe inserts.

Memory Foam as Part of the Concept

Memory foam is not simply a recent addition to Wolky footwear. It has been part of the brand's comfort concept since its early days, and it molds to the foot for a cushioned feel. Memory foam appears in styles such as the Alto and Desh sandals.

The Alto and Desh Sandals

The Alto is the original Wolky sandal, with a wide, flat design, a memory foam footbed, and adjustable straps. The Desh adds an adjustable Velcro closure, an anatomical footbed, memory foam cushioning, and soft leather lining. Browse more warm weather options in our women's sandals and men's sandals.

Special Collections for Different Needs

Wolky's special collections include footwear designed for wider feet, hallux valgus, and diabetic feet, and the range also includes waterproof and vegan options. For medical questions about your feet, check with a healthcare professional. You can also browse our wide width shoes, bunion friendly shoes, and waterproof shoes.

Getting the Right Fit

Check each product page for sizing, widths, and construction, since details vary by style. For a personal fitting, visit one of our Sole Provisions locations, or read more in our educational hub. Keep your pair in shape with our shoe care products, and note that some styles sell out.
