-
High-quality natural Nappa Leather upper: Made of smooth nappa leather with an extraordinarily soft, flexible, and durable touch that adapts ergonomically to the contour of the foot, providing great durability, breathability, and a refined aesthetic.

Urban high-top sneaker design: A sleek, mid/high-top silhouette that warms and protects the ankle area from cold drafts, ideal for pairing with jeans, sportswear, or mid-season and winter dresses.

Removable and recycled flat insole: Includes a completely removable smooth insole made from recycled materials that facilitates daily airing, hygiene, and regulation of space for the sole of the foot.
-
Precise lace-up fit: Front lacing system with reinforced eyelets that allows for millimeter-perfect tension adjustment over the instep and ankle to ensure a secure fit without constricting the foot.
-
Comfort-padded collar and tongue: Soft contact zones that provide enveloping support and prevent chafing at the ankle joint.

Benefits of Koel's barefoot design
-
Barefoot sensation (Zero Drop): A completely flat sole without heel elevation that promotes upright posture and neutral biomechanical spinal alignment.

Anatomical wide toe box: A very spacious toe box designed to follow the real shape of the female foot, allowing the metatarsals and toes to expand freely with every step.

Tips for cleaning and maintaining nappa leather
-
Routine cleaning: Remove accumulated dust or surface stains by wiping with a cloth slightly dampened with water or a soft sponge.
-
Nourishment and waterproofing: Periodically apply a neutral nourishing cream or balm to keep the nappa leather elastic and soft. We recommend using a waterproofing spray to protect the leather from water splashes and dirt stains.
-
Drying at room temperature: If the interior becomes damp, remove the insole and allow it to dry naturally in the shade in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct exposure to radiators, stoves, or intense sunlight to prevent the leather from hardening.
