Embrace the barefoot revolution with Gaucho Ninja

GOODYEAR WELTED
BAREFOOT SHOES AND BOOTS

We want to introduce you to something revolutionary in the Barefoot world:
The first Barefoot shoes made with Goodyear construction.
The Goodyear construction is characterised by a horizontal seam that joins the upper, the insole and a welt. This welt is then joined by a second vertical seam, which joins the entire shoe to the outsole. This achieves the total integrity of the shoe and, in addition, it’s easy to repair.

A characteristic feature of Goodyear footwear until now has been its lack of flexibility. By working closely with the factory and meticulously intervening in every process, we were able to create the first Goodyear shoe suitable for the Barefoot user.

Completely flexible. A shoe that with every step you take, becomes more yours. With every step, your footprint will be moulded into the shoe.
