Benefits of Koel’s barefoot design
-
A barefoot feel (Zero Drop): A completely flat sole with no heel elevation encourages an upright posture and neutral biomechanical alignment of the spine.
-
Anatomical wide fit (Wide Toe Box): A very spacious toe box shaped to follow the foot’s natural contours allows the metatarsals to spread freely without lateral pressure with every step.
-
Flexibility and low-profile traction: A pliable construction moves with the foot’s natural flex as you walk, without restricting it.

Cleaning and care tips for oiled suede (Oil Suede)
-
Routine cleaning: Gently brush away any accumulated dirt or dust with a brush made specifically for suede or nubuck.
-
Caring for oiled suede (Oil Suede): Periodically apply a balm or conditioner specifically formulated for oiled leather to preserve the leather’s suppleness and renew its protective layer. A protective waterproofing spray is recommended to guard against splashes.
-
Zipper care: Occasionally wipe the zipper teeth with a dry cloth or soft brush to prevent dust from building up and ensure smooth operation.
-
Air-dry at room temperature: If the inside gets damp, remove the insole and leave the boots to dry naturally in the shade in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct exposure to heat sources (radiators, heaters or direct sunlight) to prevent the suede from becoming stiff.
