“I totally feel like I’m wearing slippers, actually forgot to take them off when I got home.”

Upper: Premium, chrome-free vegetable-tanned suede from Portugal. Locally sourced materials support regional craftspeople.

Footbed: Carbon Step™ antimicrobial contoured footbed for superior comfort and support.

Outsole: Flexible natural rubber with excellent traction for reliable grip.

Responsibly made with LWG-certified leather from food industry by-products.

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.

Cleaning: Gently brush with a soft suede brush to remove dust and restore the nap. For stains, blot with a damp cloth. No rubbing or soaking. Always let them air dry naturally.

Protection: Apply a suede protector spray once a year to guard against moisture and stains. Avoid water saturation and keep away from direct heat or sunlight.

Storage & Insoles: Store in a cool, dry place using breathable fabric bags. The Carbon Step™ footbed is breathable and antibacterial, so no washing needed. The cover can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Replacement insoles available.

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.
