On all basic soles of Proalp Contact, it is possible to set an additional 5-millimeter sole with a deep profile. With model Contact S1 you have the option in web store to choose shoes with the sole that suits you.
A major feature of Contact shoes is the basic 2.5 mm thin sole made from vulcanized rubber, which allows maximum contact of the feet with the terrain. It is highly flexible, non-slip, and wear-resistant. When wearing Contact shoes, we don’t feel small sharp stones, and our feet embrace the surface with every step, similar to walking barefoot.
It has a 15 mm high wall around the feet, making it suitable for wearing on wet surfaces as it prevents direct contact of the upper part with the ground. It is made of very soft edgeless vulcanized rubber, so it can adapt to the width of the foot.
When wearing Contact shoes with a rough profile, the sensation of ground contact is slightly reduced, but the rough profile sole still maintains flexibility and provides excellent grip on uneven surfaces, making it suitable for hiking – for both highly demanding barefoot hikers and beginners. Everyone can adjust the length and difficulty of their hiking trips according to their abilities and ambitions.
Contact S1 with a deep profile are also highly recommended for those who are not used to walking in barefoot shoes and want footwear that provides slightly more protection to the feet than the basic thin barefoot sole. With barefoot shoes like Contact S1 and also Contact S11 with a deep profile, you will gradually transition into barefoot footwear and either continue with thinner soles or remain satisfied with these.
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).
