Product Information:
The Vena model is a barefoot shoe with a fresh spring-colored all-over print, making it a special eye-catcher. If you look closely, you can even spot a wild fox in the graphic shapes. The upper material is made from a breathable cotton-linen blend, sourced from Cotonea - a brand committed to organic farming and fair trade. The lining is made of 100% certified organic cotton. The light-colored outsole allows for smooth movement and a conscious feeling of the ground beneath the feet.

- Interior lining / mid-sole: 100% certified organically grown cotton

Fit:
The Vena model is true to size, as measured with the Fitkit.
Care:
Before first-time wear, it is recommended to waterproof the edging. This may cause slight darkening of the edging. Waterproofing treatment to the entire shoe is not necessary. The best way to clean soiled shoes is by knocking them together when dry, brushing them carefully as needed when dry, or by wiping them with a damp cloth. Machine washing is not recommended. Insoles should be removed after use for airing and to avoid moisture build-up. They can be carefully hand washed and should be completely dried before putting them back. Periodic follow-up waterproofing treatments are also recommended.
Additional Notes:
Each Vena shoe is handmade and unique, with slight irregularities in structure and coloration. The hue may appear different depending on lighting conditions. It is important to widen the opening of the shoe sufficiently by loosening the laces when putting them on to minimize wear on the material and extend the life of the shoe.
