Barefoot feel (Zero Drop): Totally flat sole with no heel elevation that promotes an upright posture and neutral biomechanical spinal alignment.

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 split-suede leathers.
-
Oiled suede care (Oil Suede): Periodically apply a balm or conditioner specifically for oiled leathers to maintain the leather's elasticity and renew its protective layer. It is recommended to spray on 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.
-
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 become stiff.
