Barefoot shoes - winter boots, Up Chelys Wool - cognac brown leather

Lovely barefoot winter shoes from Froddo in beautiful cognac-brown leather! These comfortable barefoot shoes are warm thanks to the wool lining, and the tex membrane also keeps toes dry. The zippers on the inner sides make them easy to put on, while the Chelsea gussets on the outer sides ensure a comfortable fit around the ankles. Great shoes for winter adventures!

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

• Upper material: nubuck leather
• Lining and removable insole: wool
  
• The flexible Lifolit® outsole bends in every direction but doesn't slip; it provides good grip in winter conditions
• Froddo-TEX
  • Waterproof upper materials
  • Inside the shoe (between the upper and lining materials) is a waterproof and breathable Froddo-TEX membrane. The membrane is essentially a bag that extends all the way around the shoe and up to the top of the shaft, with taped seams. You can check the height of the bag's upper edge in the membrane pockets next to the tongue.
  • Shoes with a waterproof membrane should only be treated with products recommended for tex-membrane shoes. New shoes do not require pre-treatment, but can be protected with a dirt-repellent spray if desired.
  • For example, we recommend this natural product:
    Collonil - Organic Cover - protective and care spray

💖 PLEASE NOTE THAT SHOES WITH A TEX MEMBRANE ARE NOT THE SAME AS RUBBER BOOTS! 💖 Tex-membrane shoes treated with a waterproofing spray repel water very well up to a certain point. But once the shoes are completely soaked, even the “effectiveness” of the tex membrane between the upper and lining materials may no longer be enough. If rain is forecast or you expect to spend a long time outdoors in wet weather, it's best to wear fully waterproof rubber boots.

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 26.5 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 10.8 cm

Size 42 of this barefoot shoe model fit Maria's foot perfectly! The last is so wide and the toe box follows the natural curve of the toes, so size 42 fits Maria very well. Size 41 also fit, but Maria likes a little more room at the toes, so she chooses size 42. In non-barefoot shoes, Maria usually wears size 42.5-43, depending on the width of the last. The toes of non-barefoot shoes are usually more or less pointed, which takes up space at the front, so Maria has to choose a larger size.
