VivobarefootAddis Womens – Black / Brown

Description

Handmade minimalist sneaker in Wild Hide leather with a 4mm hand-stitched sole, zero drop and a wide toe box for everyday urban use. Weighs 224g in size 38. Retro lace-up design with hand stitching, made in Ethiopia from leather from free-roaming cattle.

• Hand-stitched 4mm sole: Ergonomic synthetic rubber outsole with a heel wrap and a slight flare that follows the foot's natural movement. The tread pattern is inspired by the oldest preserved human footprints from Laetoli, around 3.7 million years old.
• Wild Hide leather: Natural leather upper from free-roaming cattle, sourced from smallholders. The leather develops a patina and has natural scars that make each pair unique.
• Wide toe box and foot-shaped last: The shoe follows the shape of the foot and gives the toes room to spread naturally. The width promotes natural stability and balance.
• No insole: Without an insole for maximum ground feel. The thin construction provides direct contact with the ground beneath the foot.
• Light and flexible: Weighs 224g in size 38. The sole and upper bend freely with the foot's movement and do not restrict natural walking.
