Timeless elegance and natural style meet in SHAPEN's new barefoot footwear collection, featuring shoes made from vegetable tanned leather.
What is vegetable tanned leather?
Vegetable tanned leather is natural leather that is processed without the use of chemicals or surface treatment. Very pleasant to the touch with irregular surface structures and a characteristic natural color.
It is suitable for handmade production. It is mainly used in various crafts trades, such as shoemaking, where this leather is characterized by its unique texture and aesthetics.
Advantages of vegetable tanned leather:
- Naturalness: it is natural and does not release any harmful chemicals into the environment.
- One-of-a-kind texture: irregular surface textures and the characteristic color of vegetable tanned leather give the shoe a unique look.
- Comfort: this type of leather is soft and flexible, which ensures high wearing comfort.
- Maintenance: it can be easily treated with shoe wax, protecting it from dirt and at the same time it can darken, which adds character to the shoe.
- Each piece of footwear made of vegetable tanned leather is completely unique, because each leather has its own irregularities and distinctive features.
How to care for vegetable tanned leather?
To better protect and extend the lifespan of vegetable tanned leather, it is recommended to polish with shoe wax. Using a soft brush, apply a thin layer of wax to clean leather to enhance color and protect against dirt.
At SHAPEN, we have decided to use vegetable tanned leather to produce some of our latest barefoot shoe models, such as LILY Natural, GAIA and CALLA. These models are not only about fashion, they are also about the comfort and health of your feet.
