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.

Respect the shape and natural movement of your feet
Respect the shape and natural movement of your feet
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.

The shape of most ordinary shoes does not match the shape of the feet. The man numbed and reshaped his legs. The stimuli that arose from contact with the country thus disappeared.

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.

Our Philosophy - What are "barefoot" Barefoot shoes

The intense and fast rhythms of everyday life and the wrong choice of shoes, are often the reason that the feet and then the knees and the waist, hurt. "Barefoot" Barefoot shoes have the unique property of allowing the natural function of the feet, without putting limits on movement. Just like walking barefoot! With a comfortable shape and space for the toes to spread (normally), with a soft and flexible sole that allows the natural movement of the foot, made of recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, Barefoot shoes are the new philosophy in shoes! Strong legs, strong base, that's how our legs go everywhere and in a pleasant way!!!
