Description:

The barefoot boots described here are designed to provide space for the toes, a thin and flexible sole, and super-light materials. They are suitable for both autumn and winter seasons. The vegan nubuck material used in these boots will develop a natural patina over time and ensure durability. Physiotherapists have designed these boots for optimal comfort, and they feature a durable sole that won't wear out easily. These boots are designed to last for years and accompany you on millions of steps. They are hand-made in the Czech Republic and Croatia, 100% vegan, waterproof, and suitable for both wider and narrow calves.

Barefoot Line: Free your feet

Ordinary shoes often restrict and cramp the feet, whereas barefoot shoes provide space and flexibility for toes. Ahinsa shoes offer this natural space and flexibility, and every step you take in them becomes a gentle massage for your feet and brain. In addition, walking barefoot stimulates brain centers, activates the entire kinetic chain, engages the core stabilization system, and supports the function of internal organs. Ahinsa recommends starting with their Comfort Line, which includes foam insoles for cushioning, before transitioning to fully barefoot shoes by removing the insoles.

CF Nubuck: Unique and durable

Ahinsa uses cruelty-free nubuck, a material similar to suede but longer-lasting, in their shoes. The nubuck surface develops a subtle patina with every step, and it is moisture-wicking and waterproof when treated. The shoes are 100% breathable, vegan, and ethically produced in the EU. They are also easy to clean and designed to last for years.

Lifo+: Extra flexible sole that lasts for years

The German Lifo+ outsole used in Ahinsa shoes is lightweight, flexible, and provides traction even on wet surfaces. It is made from an extra-durable German compound that resists scuffing. The sole is thin and lightweight, ensuring maximum flexibility and resistance to wear and tear.

As healthy as walking barefoot, study confirms

Studies conducted at Masaryk University confirm that wearing Ahinsa shoes allows the foot to engage in a healthy and natural stride, similar to walking barefoot. In contrast, ordinary shoes restrict the feet and block their natural sensory contact with the ground.

Shipping and Technical parameters

Shipping is available to EU, UK, Switzerland, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The shoes are designed by physiotherapists, made from 100% vegan materials, feature a thin and durable outsole, and are ethically produced in the Czech Republic and Croatia.
