About the Jaya - Grey Nubuck

To work, to the shops, or out on a hike. In fall, winter, or spring. Just one pair of boots? Yep, that’s all you need. Physiotherapists specially designed our Jaya barefoot boots to let you walk the world the healthy and natural way. They give you generous toe space and a flexible outsole that adapts to your feet. In the winter, the natural movement will improve blood flow and warm you up, and your feet will stay dry in the spring. Even better? We handmade them from vegan nubuck, a unique matte material that’s not in your closet yet. Put on the only pair of shoes you need, made by physiotherapists. Designed by physiotherapists for ultimate comfort and a healthy stride Handmade in the Czech Republic and Croatia 100% vegan Adjustable lacing for the perfect calf fit Add our winter insoles for extra cold temperatures Barefoot Line: Free your feet Have you ever noticed how your shoes have a completely different shape than your feet? Ordinary shoes restrict and cramp your feet, so you can’t wait to take them off at the end of the day. Try wearing barefoot shoes, which give your toes the natural space and flexibility they need. In Ahinsa shoes, every step you take becomes a gentle massage for your feet — and your brain. Did you know that walking barefoot stimulates brain centers? And that’s not all. Wearing barefoot shoes also: - Activates your entire kinetic chain - Engages your core stabilization system - Supports the function of your internal organs Wear shoes that respect the natural shape and elasticity of your feet. Never worn barefoot shoes before? Give our Comfort Line a try first. These shoes come with foam insoles to soften each step. Once you’re ready to transition to barefoot, simply remove them. CF Nubuck: Unique and durable Nubuck is the lesser-known sibling of suede. Its naturally varied surface develops a subtle patina with every step you take. Usually, nubuck is made from leather, but we’ve found something better — cruelty-free nubuck, which looks like leather but lasts a whole lot longer. It wicks moisture away from your feet. And if you waterproof it, it will stay dry too. - 100% breathable - Vegan and ethically produced in the EU - Wicks moisture away from your feet - Easy to clean and lasts for years Lifo+: Extra flexible sole that lasts for years You'll conquer any terrain with the German Lifo+ outsole. It's lightweight and as flexible as your feet. And it doesn't slip even on wet surfaces (we tried it). Wondering if they'll last? We've worked that out, too. We chose an extra-durable German compound that won't scuff easily. - Thin and lightweight sole - Reliable even on wet surfaces - Maximum flexibility - Resists wear and tear As healthy as walking barefoot, study confirms Your stride is healthy and natural in Ahinsa shoes, studies carried out at Masaryk University confirm. According to the research, Ahinsa shoes allow your foot to engage just like when you walk barefoot. By contrast, ordinary shoes restrict your feet and block their natural sensory contact with the ground. Do something for your health, today. Shipping to EU, UK, Switzerland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand Designed by physiotherapists 100% vegan materials Thin and durable outsole Ethically made in the Czech Republic and Croatia Technical parameters - Increased water resistance - Autumn and winter - Urban - Into nature - For normal and narrow feet - For normal and low instep
