Commbi, a new slide brand, debuted online on Tuesday with four styles. The shoes' defining features are their removable and interchangeable footbeds.

Two years ago, Sarah and Chris Rhoads were outsiders in the footwear industry. But that didn’t stop the husband-and-wife duo from creating Commbi, their shoe brand that officially launched this week.on Tuesday with four styles — three slides and one mule — in various colorways and textures for both men and women. The‘ defining feature is their removable and interchangeable footbeds, the manifestation of the original idea that made Commbi a reality in 2022.

“At first, we thought surely this has been out there,” Chris said, describing the early stages of starting the brand. “As we dug in, we realized there’s a unique niche here that really isn’t being targeted.” Prices for the shoes, which are manufactured in Asia, range between $150 and $180, depending on the style. Commbi is launching with eight different interchangeable footbed options, which range from terry cloth and vegan leather to shearling. Each footbed pair retails for between $35 and $45.
