CarbonStep™ footbed
Carbon Step™: A detachable insole that molds to your foot, supporting natural movement and activating your muscles for a barefoot-like walking experience. Over time, it gently compresses to match your foot's unique shape, guiding it into a natural, neutral position.
11/14/7 Formula: Precisely engineered with 11mm heel cushion, 14mm arch support, and 7mm forefoot padding that naturally compresses to your unique foot shape.
Advanced Materials: Open-cell polyurethane maintains bounce while preventing bacterial growth and odor. Cork shank provides thermal insulation and structural support for lasting durability.
Care
Care: Water-repellent spray recommended (eco-friendly preferred). Treat leather with our 100% Organic Protective Cream or quality leather conditioner when needed.
Natural Aging: Leather naturally develops character over time. Beeswax and sunlight will darken leather if desired.
Footbed Maintenance: Antibacterial Carbon Step™ Shearling requires no washing. The shearling can be gently brushed occasionally with a soft fabric brush to keep the wool fluffy and fresh. Replacement insoles available.
Sizing
VIBAe shoes should feel snug at first and there is no need to leave extra free space at the end. The easiest way to put your VIBAe shoe into your feet is against the floor, push your foot all the way to the end, and only then bring up the heel.
Once you start wearing the VIBAe shoe they will stretch about half a size and the more you wear them the better they get.
