Do you know shoes that are better across all of these specifications?

Shoes made just for barefoot beginners

We created our Comfort line for those just getting started with barefoot walking. Our Comfort Ahinsa shoes have a special insole (liner) or a cushioned outsole that protects you from harsh impacts.

Don't rush yourself. Enjoy wearing spacious and light-weight shoes that protect you until you learn how to place your heel on the ground carefully and walk healthily.

Space for your toes

Ahinsa shoes respect the shape of your foot, providing your toes with plenty of room. A size 41 shoe comes with the following widths: 8.9 cm, 9.9 cm, and 11cm.

Extra lightweight shoes

One pair of size 41 Ahinsa shoes weighs 450g.

They bend with your foot

Ahinsa shoes adapt to your natural movement — bending when your foot does. That’s because we’ve chosen flexible materials and added extra space above the instep.

A thin outsole

Ahinsa shoes’ thinnest outsoles measure just 2mm yet won’t wear through.

Our thin and flexible outsole, made from the German-developed compound Lifoprene®, has proven itself to us. It allows your foot to “grip the terrain” and feel it. Our outsole also resists wear and won’t slip. 

You won't slip

Our outsoles have been tested by the accredited testing laboratories ITC with great results: They adhere up to 2.5x times more than normal outsoles. This means they won’t slip, even on wet surfaces

Take a look at the test results.

In reality, Ahinsa shoes are even more reliable than the results. The outsole adapts perfectly to the ground, so you have a much larger area of contact than you would with a classic, stiff outsole.

Extended 3-year warranty

We know that our materials simply last. From the extra-durable German sole to the absorbent lining and CF+ vegan leather. To prove it, we offer a guarantee on them not for the standard two years, but for three. 

We know from our own experience that Ahinsa shoes will bring you joy for longer.

High-tech materials that last

We choose smart materials, which make you feel good and are built to last. 
Our CF+ material looks like real leather, but is much better. Here’s why:
  • It meets one of the most stringent health and safety standards.
  • It’s breathable and wicks moisture away from your feet. 
  • It’s waterproof. 
  • It resists scuffing and flaking. 

If we’re being technically precise, CF+ meets the following criteria: Test results according to the international standard UNE-EN ISO 20344:2011.

 

Test CF+ Standard
Water vapor permeability (mg/cm2*h) 2,2 >=0.8
Water vapor transmission coefficient (mg/cm2) 20,2 >=15
