SIZE CHART - Barefoot shoes

PLEASE NOTE: Determine the shoe size directly according to the length of your feet. The inner length of the shoe is 12 mm longer than the foot length for the same shoe size. For example, if your foot length is 256 mm, you would select size 40, and the inner length of the shoe would be 268 mm. The values for widths represent the inner shoe widths at the widest part of the ball of the foot.

Description

Let your feet feel the freedom again with CONTACT S1!

The Proalp Contact model maximizes the contact between the foot and the terrain. When wearing Contact shoes, the tiny sharp stones are not felt and our feet hug the surface at each step. Much like walking barefoot.

The main role in the development and manufacturing of Proalp footwear plays the awareness about our health. We combine the century years old tradition of shoemaking with the understanding of natural feet movement. When walking feet are changing their shape, loads, and ground contact. Feet are persistent and dynamic by nature and have flexibility and strength, which is significantly loosened with the use of incorrect footwear. Proper footwear gives the feet full freedom of movement and allows contact with the terrain we walk on, which maintains and improves the structure of bones, joints, and muscles.

Some of Contact’s features:

They are shaped like feet. The forefoot part forms a shoe wide enough for us to step with the whole soles of the feet on the ground and all toes have enough space to spread and move. Particular attention is paid to the front inner curve of the shoes, which should provide ample space for the toes, for the active gait.

Flexible soles allow maximum tilt angle and the foot arch can freely amortize loads during a walk.

Contact shoes firmly grip the feet.

Soft leather (optionally microfiber) is used for the upper part and the lining, 3 – 5 mm layer, consisting of wool, hemp, and jute compound (in winter models with the woollen lining of 6 mm), which regulates the temperature and insulate the feet from heat and cold. The natural materials create a breathable antiseptic shoe environment.

The Contact shoes’ greatest feature is the 2,5 mm vulcanized rubber sole. It is anti-slip and resistant against wear. It has a 15 mm high rubber wall around the feet. The shoes ensure a good climate inside the shoe as they are made from only natural materials that allow the shoe to breathe freely. The additional deep profile enables good grip even on more demanding grounds and makes the shoes even less slippery.

Features:

Upper part: leather

Lining: leather

Sole: rubber

Shoe care

By taking care of our shoes, we preserve their good appearance, durability, and resistance to different weather conditions. Below are some tips.

SHOES MADE OF SMOOTH MATERIALS:

Occasionally, wipe them with a damp cloth, to which you can add a drop of mild dish detergent.
When applying a new cream to the shoes, test it on a hidden area before spreading it over the entire surface.
Once clean, apply a thin layer of colourless cream or wax, then rub it gently into the smooth leather with a dry cloth.

SHOES MADE OF BRUSHED MATERIALS:

If they are dry and muddy, you can brush them with a soft brush.
Occasionally, wipe them with a damp cloth, adding a drop of mild dish detergent if needed.
Once clean, spray them with a colourless water-repellent spray, which refreshes the color, conditions the leather, and increases its water resistance.

FOR ALL PROALP SHOES, PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

Dry wet shoes in the air, in the shade, or indoors away from heat sources.
Never soak them in water or wash them in a washing machine.
If you wish, during the off-season, stuff them with crumpled absorbent paper (such as newspaper).

HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE CLEAN AND CARE FOR OUR SHOES?

Everyone has their own criteria for this, but we recommend doing it several times a season.
