hand-sewn shoes that has decided to redefine "normal"
hand-sewn shoes that has decided to redefine "normal"
Czechia
We would like to help change the perception of "normal" footwear. We are certainly not alone in this - there are more good brands and we are also working to change people's thinking not only about the health of the feet, but of the whole body. Because in the human body everything is related to everything. We are reaching out to the world of barefoot stores who are excited about the new brand as it expands the current footwear offering. Our shoes have a timeless design that appeals to a wider range of customers. Otherwise, ballerinas and children's shoes will soon be shown to the world. The entire shoe is made in the Czech Republic, but not only from Czech materials. Unfortunately, it is not possible to ensure long-term serial production using materials from the Czech Republic. However, all materials are actually produced (not just imported) in the EU. We collect the leather in a Czech tannery, the cows come from free pastures. Did you know that cows are not killed for their leather? Using leather is essentially waste processing. Nowadays, a lot of cow hide ends up in incinerators, so we are happy that at least some of it will be used for further processing.

Huarache sandals are still largely unknown in Germany. We want to change that as fans. So we developed a Huarache sandal by hand, which we christened Chala. The name Chala comes from Latin American Spanish and means "raw leather sandal". This is exactly what our Chalas are: Minimalist sandals in which the naturally colored leather sole has been supplemented with a protective natural rubber layer that is securely held on the foot by just one shoelace.

Our company Jenon Leather is engaged in custom leather production. Barefoot shoes and sandals, leather belts, wallets, women's handbags and writing, notebook covers, leather key cases. This is just a short list of what we have already produced for our customers. Shoe and leather work has a rich tradition in this region, but it slowly disappears, and shoesworking glory and handmade leather craft is slowly falling into oblivion. We decided not to let this happen and to support this cultural and industrial tradition in our region. That's why we established the Jenon leather brand for handmade leather products with lifetime warranty. Support this tradition with us!

Embrace Nature with the African Ranger Barefoot Boot
Embrace Nature with the African Ranger Barefoot Boot
South Africa
Jim Green originates from a well-known fly fishing area within the rolling hills of the Midlands Meander, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Along the river edges in the area lives a sneaky little frog, known to locals as a “Jim Green”. This frog happens to be a sort after snack for awaiting fish. The frog is not only used by questionable fisherman to hook a winning catch but is also the hero that dons each one of our boots ### OUR **HISTORY** Jim Green Footwear was born out of humble beginnings, in a back-yard garage in 1992, with the idea in mind of making a boot that lasts and lasts. It wasn’t long before Jim Green had gained a reputation amongst local communities, living up to its’ name of being tough, rugged, and able to go the distance, eventually becoming a household name across South Africa. ### OUR **FACTORY** Jim Green is not only hand crafted in South Africa, but all components are also locally sourced. With an ever-climbing unemployment rate it is important to us to support our local people and economy. Our factory is run in an ethical manner and we pride ourselves on bringing you the best value for money footwear, while at the same time living up to our name. Situated in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, Jim Green boots have been made the same way since day one. ### JIM GREEN **TODAY** Jim Green is still one of South Africa’s favorite adventure and workwear footwear brands, being worn by large and small corporations and remains a local favorite amongst the farming and hiking communities. We have a heritage of making durable comfortable footwear that is famous for its never say die attitude and respected by many. No other boot is more versatile, from mountain tops to factory floors, Jim Green boots are ready for any challenge.

Leguano barefoot shoes were designed in Germany by a group of movement specialists and barefoot professionals. After experiencing the negative effects of running in stiff shoes with maximal support, they began researching the benefits of running barefoot. They found that after a gradual and safe transition to running barefoot, people (including themselves) commonly experienced less injuries and pain associated with running.

Spain
Minimalist or functional footwear respects the shape and natural movement of your feet, because we believe in footwear that is healthier and more respectful of our human nature. A shoe for your feet and not that your feet have to adapt to the shoe. We help the health of your feet by avoiding malformations, improving balance and proprioception. Being absolutely flat (zero drop) your body will be naturally aligned from the base promoting a correct posture and a balance of pressure on your feet so that your lower back does not have to compensate, avoiding pain and poor back postures.

I’m Matt Paisley. Since 1993, I’ve been a high school teacher, cross country coach, and an avid runner. Up until 10 years ago, I was running in standard shoes, and constantly endured injuries and discomfort. Then came the last straw - a herniated disc in my lower back. Heel striking in shoes became unbearable. I found relief in sandals.
