Are the toe boxes of these shoes wide enough?

We've designed these shoes to allow your toes to comfortably spread out inside. Don't worry! Your toes will be more free than ever and return to their natural shape. These shoes are not like unhealthy ones that press on your feet from the top or sides.

What are the characteristics of the buffalo leather used in the sole of your shoes, and does it have any grounding effects?

Ours Shoes is a brand characterized by the use of buffalo leather in its soles. All products feature buffalo leather soles with a thickness ranging from 5 to 8 millimeters. These leathers are of the highest quality. Buffalo leather is a natural material. Its micro-porous structure keeps your feet dry during the summer months, preventing sweating and aiding in the prevention of skin conditions associated with sweating, such as itching, eczema, odor, and fungus.

Because buffalo leather is used in the soles,  Shoes products belong to the rare category of footwear entirely made from genuine natural leather. Shoes with buffalo leather soles are significantly different from those made from rubber, plastic, or other petroleum-based materials. Since this sole is a natural material, it provides the same effect as walking on the ground, offering dynamism and a healing effect. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.

Why did you add copper rivets to the sole of the shoe?

The human foot alone consists of 26 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles, and thousands of nerve endings, which provide essential sensory feedback from the ground to your brain. The copper rivets in the sole of our  Handmade Barefoot Shoes are made of a highly conductive material. Copper not only grounds the electricity in your body but also enhances emotional feedback. According to Chinese Medicine, these copper rivets are placed at the kidney point on the foot. The K1 point is the most effective for grounding.

Imagine eliminating all these inputs with unhealthy plastic shoe soles. Do you blindfold yourself every time you leave the house? Probably not. By choosing shoes made from unnatural materials, you're essentially blinding the perceptive "eyes" of your skillful feet. With  shoes, you'll have the opportunity to establish a strong connection. This is a 700-year-old ancient tradition. It remains popular because millions continue to benefit from it.

Why are there no heels in your shoes?

Zero-drop shoes provide the best foundation for a natural and upright posture. When we wear shoes that drop from the heel to the toe, it disrupts the alignment of our entire body. Wearing high-heeled shoes can chronically shorten your calf muscles and reduce the range of motion in your ankles, leading to pain in your Achilles tendon. To save you from all these problems and provide you with benefits, we don't use heels in our shoes.

Isn't the sole of your shoes too thin?

The buffalo leather we use in the soles of our shoes is a natural material. We don't promise a standard thickness. Typically, it ranges from 5 to 8 millimeters. A thin sole allows you to feel the ground better. Your toes and nerves are stimulated more, enhancing your balance and walking ability. Issues like falls and injuries tend to decrease over time.

Are these shoes lightweight?

Depending on the size, these shoes range from 250 grams to 400 grams. That's what we call perfect lightness. If you've ever worn amazing minimalist shoes before, you'll never want to go back to regular shoes. One reason these shoes become icons on the streets in Turkey every summer is because of this.

Is the sole of the shoes slippery?

The buffalo leather we use in the soles of our shoes is initially flat and smooth. The surface provides increased traction with wear over a few days. While the sole may initially appear very flat, we can say that we receive very few complaints related to slipping or falling. You may be new to these shoes. Please remember that these shoes represent a culture that has been living in another part of the world (Anatolia) for about 700 years and is preferred by millions of people.

Were these shoes designed for outdoor or indoor use?

Handmade Breathable Shoes are perfect for wearing outdoors, in the countryside, or while camping during the summer months. In the winter, they are perfect for wearing indoors, such as at home or in the office. Like other shoes made from genuine leather, Breathable shoes are also water permeable. They are not suitable for rainy days.

Do copper rivets and leather soles ground on every surface?

We conducted some measurements to test grounding effects on various surfaces. Grounding effects were observed on Earth, Grass, Concrete, Stone, Gravel, and Sand surfaces. However, we found that grounding effects did not work on Asphalt and Synthetic surfaces.

Are these shoes entirely handmade?

After cutting the leather pieces with a press machine, we complete all processes such as sewing and molding by hand. Due to being handmade, the production process takes approximately 4 days to complete.
