Casual footwear at Recon Company – sandals, trainers and off-duty shoes for after work

Taking off your duty boots after a shift and slipping into comfortable casual footwear – anyone who spends the whole day in heavy footwear knows the feeling. With over 30 years’ experience as a supplier to the public sector, we know that relaxation starts with your feet. Our casual footwear ranges from trekking sandals and flip-flops to trainers and understated leather shoes – everything you need once the shift is over. Back to the full range of footwear.

Trekking sandals and outdoor sandals for camp and the great outdoors

Whether you’re at a field camp, a bivouac site or enjoying an evening’s entertainment after a long exercise, you need open-toed shoes that still provide support. Trekking sandals aren’t beach sandals – they have treaded soles, adjustable straps and offer grip even on wet ground. The Meindl Brindisi Comfort Fit features an anatomically shaped footbed and stays securely on your foot even after hours of wear. The Lowa Kaloya Vent boasts a ventilated design for hot days. If you’re looking for a minimalist outdoor sandal with a wide range of uses, the Chaco Z/Cloud 2 is a robust option – the sole provides grip even on riverbeds and rocky slabs. The Salomon RX Break Forces has been deliberately designed as a recovery shoe: softly cushioned, quick to slip on and off, and built for tired feet after long walks.

Trainers, barefoot shoes and slides

For everyday life off-duty, we stock a wide range of trainers and barefoot shoes. UYN dominates this category with models such as the Washi, the Nature Tune and the Free-Flow Tune – all made from sustainable materials such as merino wool and recycled fibres. The UYN barefoot shoes (Beemotion, Shockie) offer minimal cushioning with maximum ground contact – they’re the perfect choice for anyone looking to mobilise their foot muscles after a day in stiff operational boots. The UYN range extends into higher price brackets (Uynner Hero, Ibex), but in return offers a level of build quality that goes beyond typical leisurewear.

For the barracks, the swimming pool or the shower after training, flip-flops are standard. Under Armour offers simple, lightweight models from 25 EUR with the Ansa Fix, Ignite Select and Locker Slides. No high-tech – but exactly what you need after sport.

The 5.11 Tactical Duty Oxford occupies a special category. This isn’t a leisure shoe in the traditional sense, but a leather low-top with a subtle, professional look. Suitable for occasions where combat boots would be too conspicuous and normal trainers too casual – such as office duties, court appearances or official engagements.

Choosing the right casual shoe

The choice depends on the intended use. For relaxing at camp or by the water, trekking sandals with a sturdy sole and adjustable straps are the best choice. For barracks life and short distances, flip-flops or lightweight slides will do. If you’re looking for an everyday shoe that still looks the part even in your free time, go for trainers in muted colours such as black, olive or earth tones. And if you want to give your feet a treat after weeks in boots, you should try barefoot shoes – the natural rolling motion is the best contrast to stiff operational footwear.
