Hi, we're Alex and Nicole — the founders of My Legacy.
The idea started during a trip to Brazil.
Travelling through Rio de Janeiro and along the coastal towns of Salvador, we noticed something that stuck with us: almost everyone wore sandals. Not just to the beach — to work, to dinner, walking for hours through the city. It was completely normal, and it looked effortless.
But for Nicole, it wasn't. Every time she wore sandals for more than a few hours, her feet hurt. Tired arches, discomfort, that feeling of needing to switch to something more supportive by midday.
Standing in the middle of Brazil, watching locals move through their entire day in flip flops without a second thought, it felt like a problem worth solving.
So we started digging into it — researching foot anatomy, arch support, how sandals are actually constructed — and realised that most designs hadn't meaningfully evolved in decades. Comfort and simplicity just weren't being built together.
After months of testing materials, refining prototypes and working closely with our manufacturers, we launched our first collection: TROPIC™. A line of sandals inspired by the effortless beach culture we witnessed in Brazil — designed with the support your feet actually need.
My Legacy was built on the belief that the shoes you wear every day should work as hard as you do. Every collection we create starts from that same place: real comfort, considered design, and nothing you don't need.
