NOTE: Initially, the shoes may feel snug due to the expansive nature of the wool. Over time, the wool will compress, creating additional space for a more comfortable fit.

VIBAe shoes should feel snug at first and there is no need to leave extra free space at the end. The size is correct when the length of your foot in cm is between our measurement boundaries shown before each EU size.

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.

Double-faced Shearling shoes require special care to maintain their appearance and durability. Here are some general tips on how to care for double-faced Shearling shoes:

Avoid Moisture: Shearling is sensitive to moisture, so it's crucial to keep your shoes dry. Avoid wearing them in wet or snowy conditions.
If your shoes do get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air-dry at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources like heaters or hairdryers, as this can damage the shearling.

Stain Removal: Deal with stains promptly. Use a damp, soft cloth to gently blot stains, and avoid rubbing, as it can push the stain further into the Shearling. For tougher stains, consider using a specialized Suede and Shearling cleaner. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Storage: Store your Shearling shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure good ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.
To maintain their shape, stuff the shoes with tissue paper or shoe trees when not in use.

Protective Sprays: Apply a water and stain repellent specifically designed for Shearling or Suede. Make sure to follow the product instructions, and reapply as needed.

Professional Cleaning: If your Shearling shoes require deep cleaning, it's best to take them to a professional cleaner who specializes in Shearling.

Rotation: Rotate your Shearling shoes with other pairs to allow them to air out and prevent excessive wear.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep Shearling shoes away from extreme heat sources, as high temperatures can cause the Shearling to become brittle and lose its softness.

The soul of VIBAe footwear is a detachable Carbon Step™ insole that shapes according to your foot, activating the foot's small muscles. Together with the shoe designed for the shape of the foot, they guarantee complete comfort. The feeling is like walking barefoot.

The Carbon Step™ insole has been found to have health-promoting effects - e.g. those with plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, and diabetes have found help in our insoles.

With Carbon Step™ you take comfortable steps towards a healthy and sustainable future. The contoured 11/14/7 formula (11 mm of heel cushion, 14 mm of arch support, and 7 mm in the forefoot) provides the ultimate comfort and will naturally compress to follow your foot profile into a neutral position. The open cell structure of the polyurethane composition retains the bouncy feeling and helps to prevent bacterial growth to combat foot odor.

The cork shank works as a thermal insulator and provides structure and protection to the underside of the footbed for longevity.
