All our Sole Runner Barefoot shoes are water-repellent - not waterproof. We offer Spray for fabric and leather upper and our waterproof sock from Sealskinz which you can put on your feet in wet conditions.

The characteristic is already explained by the respective word. Waterproof shoes are really waterproof. This means that no water penetrates through the outer fabric. Most waterproof shoes are equipped with a waterproof membrane.


While there are fixed criteria with so-called water columns that determine the water permeability of a substance or a membrane, there are no fixed criteria for a water-repellent material.


Water-repellent means that the outer fabric repels moisture for a short time.

There are different ways to make an upper water-repellent. The tanneries Sole Runner is working with do not use fluorocarbon and per fluorocarbon.

 

They do a water-repellent process in which they use Densodrin OF and Densodrin CD from Stahl chemicals which is silicon based and Perfectol HQ a paraffin based fat liquor to fix the water- repelling character.

 

Due to this process all our leathers will be free from Fluorocarbon and per fluorocarbon’s presence and will be a water repellent leather and not water proof.

There is no use of PFOS, PFAS, PFOA, PFCA, related compounds  and chemicals that may degrade to PFCA.

Yes you can. Make sure that the shaft is high enough for your insoles. But always ask yourselves WHY you need to wear orthotic insoles and does it not make sense make it sense to go barefoot? If you need help to answer this questions ask your doctor. Always keep in mind that an insole which gives you a support will not help to strengthen your feet

In shoes with a soft and thick outsole you will have a harder rebound. Since your feet is an organ which wants to touch they pushes hard to get the information from the surface.


Barefeet or in Barefoot shoes your feet get the information directly.
