What materials do we use?

In today's world, where we are increasingly aware of the importance of comfort and health for our feet, barefoot footwear is gaining popularity among those who desire natural movement and a connection with the terrain. Our SHAPEN barefoot footwear stands out not only for its design, but also for the superior materials we use in its production.

Let us introduce some of them and their unique features.

Suede: soft and gentle to the touch.

Suede is a material characterized by softness and pleasantness to the touch. The colour of suede is rich and matt, which adds elegance and style. This makes suede shoes suitable for a variety of occasions - from everyday wear to formal events. Suede is considered a breathable material. Its ability to absorb and release moisture makes suede shoes a comfortable choice even on warmer days.

Hydrophobic leather: water-resistant, the queen of durability.

Hydrophobic leather - nubuck has the ability to resist water thanks to its hydrophobic treatment. It retains its softness and is pleasant to the touch. The surface is soft and smooth, which contributes to the overall wearing comfort. The nubuck finish enhances the shoes' resistance to wear and soiling. This type of footwear maintains its attractive appearance even in harsher conditions - ideal for those who can appreciate quality and durability.

Vegan leather: the ethical and stylish choice.

We are proud to offer vegan leather as an alternative for those who prefer an ethical approach to fashion footwear. Vegan leather maintains the elegance and quality of traditional leather, yet is animal friendly.

Smooth leather: elegance for every day.

For those looking for elegance in everyday life, we offer our stylish SHAPEN barefoot shoes made from smooth leather. Not only does it look gorgeous, but it also hugs your feet comfortably, providing an unmistakable feeling of luxury.

Nylon: lightweight but durable.

We use this material on some parts of our footwear to ensure that the shoes remain lightweight and comfortable without compromising their ability to withstand even harsh conditions.

Faux fur: warm arms on cold days.

For those who face freezing temperatures while preferring an ethical approach, we also offer SHAPEN barefoot boots with faux fur. This soft and warm layer provides a comfortable feel when in contact with the skin, while keeping your feet warm even on the coldest of days.

Merino insulation: natural thermal regulation.

We use the natural benefits of merino wool to insulate some of our SHAPEN barefoot shoes. Merino is known for its thermal regulation ability, which means it keeps your feet warm on colder days while wicking away moisture in warmer temperatures.

When selecting our materials, we make sure that each one meets the highest standards of quality, comfort and durability. We believe you'll find a combination of fashion, luxury and functionality in each of our SHAPEN barefoot shoes.
