Don’t You Burn Me (No Me Quemeees): the sandal with a  wink

Don’t You Burn Me (No Me Quemeees): the sandal with a wink

The name says it all: Don’t You Burn Me is a warning shot, an admonishment—and 
a little flirtation. It’s the line you deliver with a smile. Built on a sneaker-derived 
sole and finished with an all-leather upper and textile embroidery, this slide 
blends sport comfort with natural materials so well you’ll forget you’re wearing 
something “practical.” It’s light, durable, and quietly expressive—made for people 
who like their ease with a side of attitude.

A sneaker bed, reimagined for summer

Instead of a flat slab underfoot, we use a contoured sneaker platform: a 
supportive midsole that reduces fatigue, paired with a grippy rubber outsole and 
subtle podding for traction. Translation: cushion where you want it, stability where 
you need it, and an effortless roll through your stride. The profile looks fresh 
(white midsole, warm gum edges), but the real magic is how it moves with you—
city blocks, beach boardwalks, airport miles.

All-natural materials that wear in—not out

Up top, the straps are full-grain leather framed with contrast embroidery that 
reads tactile and organic—no plastic shine here. Inside, the footbed is lined in 
soft leather that gradually shapes to your footprint. The more you wear them, the 
better they feel. It’s the opposite of disposable: scuffs become character; the 
color deepens; the fit becomes yours.

Comfort that converts the sandal-skeptical

If you live in footbeds, these will feel familiar—then better. Compared with the 
usual cork slides, Don’t You Burn Me brings:

Instant softness under the ball of the foot and heel (no long break-in).
Lateral stability from the sneaker chassis, so you don’t “swim” on a flat base.
Quiet grip for tiles, sidewalks, and hardwood. 

Anyone who loves a Birkenstock-style sandal will find this more cushioned, more supportive, and—thanks to the crafted upper—far more polished.

The mood of the name

No Me Quemeees is playful Spanish slang for “don’t burn me,” equal parts warning 
and flirt. That’s the energy of this shoe: confident boundaries, carefree walk. Slide 
them on and you’ve said your piece—now enjoy the day.

Who wears this shoe?

The creative professional who needs off-duty shoes that still look intentional.The traveler who refuses to choose between support and style. The wellness crowd (stylists, med-spateams, studio owners) who stay on their feet and want a soft landing that still reads fashion.The minimalist who wants one sandal that works with everything.

How they wear it

With linen shorts and a knit tank for weekend markets.
With  column dress  for a relaxed office Friday.
With a column dress or slip skirt when you want “elegant casual” without heels.
With airport basics—soft pants, tee, light blazer—for a look that breezes 
through security and still feels pulled together.

Built slowly, to last

Each pair is made in small batches: leather is cut and edge-finished, straps are 
lined for comfort, embroidery panels are stitched cleanly into the upper (no 
scratchy backers), and the sole is bonded and stitched for durability. The goal is a 
sandal that looks easy but is engineered for everyday miles.
Don’t You Burn Me (No Me Quemeees) is the summer slide that gets the 
message across—soft on your feet, firm about your standards, and unmistakably 
stylish. Slip in, set your pace, and let the world keep up
