Benefits of the Koel barefoot design
-
Barefoot feel (Zero Drop): Completely flat sole with no heel elevation, favoring an upright body posture and neutral biomechanical spinal alignment.
-
Anatomic wide last (Wide Toe Box): Very spacious toe box designed to follow the actual shape of the foot, allowing the metatarsals to expand freely without lateral pressure with every step.
-
Flexibility and low-profile traction: Malleable structure that supports the foot's physiological flexion when walking without providing rigidity.

Cleaning and maintenance tips for oiled suede (Oil Suede)
-
Regular cleaning: Remove accumulated dirt or dust by gently brushing with a brush specifically for suede or nubuck.
-
Care for oiled suede (Oil Suede): Periodically apply a specific balm or conditioner for oiled leathers to maintain the elasticity of the leather and renew its protective layer. It is recommended to spray a protective waterproofing spray against splashes.
-
Zipper maintenance: Occasionally run a dry cloth or soft brush over the zipper teeth to prevent dust buildup and ensure smooth sliding.
-
Air drying at room temperature: If the interior gets wet, remove the insole and let it dry naturally in the shade in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct exposure to heat sources (radiators, stoves, or direct sun) so the suede does not harden.
