Technology
Designed for Natural Movement, Comfort and Durability
Our barefoot shoes are designed to support natural foot movement while giving you the right level of protection for different environment.
Every model combines four key elements:
- Durable uppers made from different materials to suit a range of adventures
- Removable insoles to adjust cushioning and ground feel
- Specialised outsoles for different terrain and grip needs
- Flexible midsoles that protect your feet without restricting natural movement
This system allows you to choose the barefoot experience that works best for your feet, activities and terrain.
Uppers
CoffeeYarn

Technical: CoffeeYarn contains 60 - 70% recycled spent coffee grounds, combined with binding polyester. Used coffee grounds are milled into nano-sized powder, transformed into a polyester-like spinning fluid and processed into a flyknit thread.
What that means for you: The result is a breathable, fast-drying, durable material with natural antibacterial properties. CoffeeYarn shoes are comfortable, dry quickly, stay fresher for longer and perform well in both sport and everyday use.
BottleYarn

Technical: BottleYarn is made from 60 - 80% recycled PET plastic bottles. Post-consumer bottles are collected, cleaned and repurposed into plastic pellets. These are extruded into fine filaments and woven into a lightweight, high-performance yarn.
What that means for you: This recycled fabric is tough, breathable and comfortable, making it ideal for active and everyday footwear. It creates lightweight, breathable shoes that are easy to clean and built to last.
Microfibre
Technical: Our microfibre contains 30 - 40% recycled content and continues to evolve as the technology improves. It is made from a tightly woven polyester structure, providing excellent durability, water resistance and easy-care performance.
What that means for you: Lightweight, moisture-resistant shoes that are easy to wipe clean, dry quickly and stand up to everyday wear.
Leather
Technical: Our leather is independently audited by the Leather Working Group (LWG) and achieves Gold-level certification, ensuring high standards of supplier welfare and more sustainable leather processing, including responsible water and energy use.
What that means for you: Naturally breathable, long-lasting shoes that age well over time with confidence that the leather is responsibly sourced and processed.
