TRIBECA Leather Cocoa Brown

TRIBECA Leather Cocoa Brown

TRIBECA is the shoe that you want for 2026. Handmade in Portugal from soft vegetable-tanned leather, it carries the same unhurried, all-day ease in a closed-toe loafer silhouette that works from September through spring without thinking about it.

The tassel is the same quiet statement as on SOHO. Enough to give the shoe personality, not so much that it needs an occasion. Wear them with jeans, tailored trousers, or whatever you threw on that morning.

Inside, the footbed does what all VIBAe shoes do: it learns your foot. The more you wear them, the more they feel like they were shaped for you specifically. The leather softens and gains character with every step, making each pair genuinely unique over time.

The kind of shoe that looks better at six months than it did on day one. Once you have one color, the others start making sense pretty quickly.

Upper: Portuguese vegetable-tanned leather with unique natural variations. 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.

Care: Water-repellent spray recommended (eco-friendly preferred). Treat leather with our 100% Organic Protective Cream or a 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™ requires no washing. The cover can be gently hand-washed with soap and water. 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.
