Barefoot shoes - winter boots, TEX Suede - cognac brown leather

Lovely suede, wool-lined Froddo Barefoot winter boots with a tex membrane, in a beautiful cognac brown shade. The new Extra Grip (thermo rubber) sole is even more flexible than the normal Froddo Barefoot sole. The shoes are easy to put on using the zipper on the inner side.

• Froddo Barefoot collection
• Flexible sole
• No heel lift
• Wide toe box

• Upper material: Suede leather
• Lining material and insole: wool
• The stitched-insole has a heat-insulating aluminum layer and a warming wool layer
• Flexible and grippy Extra Grip rubber sole 
• Froddo-TEX
• Waterproof upper materials
• Inside the shoe (between the upper and lining material) there is a waterproof and breathable Froddo-TEX membrane. The membrane is practically a pouch that goes around the entire shoe shaft and the seams of the pouch are taped. The height of the pouch's upper edge can be checked from the membrane pockets running alongside the insole.
• Shoes equipped with a waterproof membrane should be cared for only with products recommended for tex membrane shoes. A new shoe does not require pre-treatment but can be protected with a dirt-repellent spray if desired.
• We recommend, for example, this natural product:
  Collonil - Organic Protect & Care - protective and care spray

💖 PLEASE NOTE THAT TEX-MEMBRANE SHOES ARE NOT THE SAME AS RUBBER BOOTS! 💖 Tex-membrane shoes treated with moisture protection spray keep water out excellently up to a certain limit. But when the shoes get soaked through, the "effect" of the tex membrane between the upper and lining material may no longer be sufficient. When expecting a rainy day, puddle play, or generally prolonged exposure to wet conditions, it is advisable to wear definitely waterproof rubber boots.

Width: Normal

Maria the merchant’s medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• A “flipper” shape, meaning the toes are almost equally long, with no pronounced curve at the toe line 😊
• Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
• Length of the longer foot 26.8 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Size 42 of this barefoot shoe model was simply great for Maria's foot! The last is so wide and the toe is shaped according to the natural curve of the toes, so size 42 fits Maria perfectly. In non-barefoot shoes, Maria's size is usually 42.5-43 depending on the width of the last. In shoes other than barefoot shoes, the toe is usually more or less pointed/tapered, which takes up space at the toe and Maria has to take a bigger size.
