The return costs €3.75 , which will be subtracted from the amount to be returned. When you request the return, you will be sent a Post Office label so that you can take the package to the office that best suits you. You do not need to print this label, simply showing the barcode at the counter is enough. As soon as we receive the product, we will make the automatic refund.

You should keep in mind that, if it is a credit/debit card, the refund, depending on the specific bank used, may take up to 30 days to be effective.

The customer assumes the costs of the return, which has a fixed cost of €3.75.

CALZADO BAREFOOT

Cómo hacer la transición al zapato barefoot

Para realizar una transición al calzado descalzo, comienza gradualmente. Usa tus zapatillas barefoot durante cortos períodos de tiempo al principio, permitiendo que tus pies se adapten. Aumenta progresivamente el tiempo de uso para fortalecer los músculos. Mantén una postura natural y presta atención a tu forma de caminar. Escucha a tu cuerpo y si sientes alguna molestia, reduce el tiempo de uso.

Te dejamos este blog en el que explicamos cómo realizar una correcta transición al calzado bareefot:

Transición al Calzado Barefoot: Una Guía Integral para una Adaptación Exitosa

¿Se pueden lavar e la lavadora las zapatillas barefoot?

El MODELO FREEDOM si pueden lavarse en la lavadora. Utiliza un lavado en frío o tibio, un detergente suave y baja velocidad de lavado. Recomendamos introducir las zapatillas con más ropa para que amortigüen los golpes de estas. Luego, asegúrate de secarlas a temperatura ambiente (no secadora) y evita su exposición directa al sol o calor excesivo.

Para las FREEDOM será conveniente limpiar la plantilla a mano, no en lavadora, para evitar desteñidos.

PARA EL MODELO URBAN, no es recomendable meterlas en la lavadora. Utiliza un paño limpio y suave o un cepillo para eliminar la suciedad.
No utilices productos de limpieza agresivos.
Una vez que se haya eliminado la suciedad y los residuos, limpie los zapatos con un paño limpio y húmedo para eliminar cualquier resto de producto de limpieza.
Deje que los zapatos se sequen completamente al aire en un lugar fresco y bien ventilado. No exponga los zapatos a la luz solar directa ni al calor.
Si los zapatos están muy sucios, es posible que tengas que limpiarlos en profundidad con un limpiador especializado para microfibra.
Sigue atentamente las instrucciones del limpiador y pruébalo primero en una zona poco visible para asegurarte de que no daña la piel.

No tengo claro cuál es mi talla

Dentro de cada calzado podrás encontrar un enlace que indica ¿Cuál es mi talla?. Este enlace te guiará para medir correctamente tu pie y elegir la talla correcta en función del calzado que desees.

Recuerda que para que el calzado barefoot tenga sentido al menos tienes que dar un margen extra de más o menos 0,7cm a la longitud de tu pie.

Frequent questions

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre separadores y espaciadores?

Te dejamos el enlace a este blog donde explicamos las diferencias en profundidad.

Blog

How long a day can I use the separators? And the aligners?

You can wear toe separators and spacers all day long, depending on your comfort. However, it is advisable to start with short intervals and gradually increase. From our experience, if you wear traditional footwear at first, your feet will not last more than a few minutes. With time and progressive adaptation you will be able to wear them for hours without remembering them.

Which separator best suits my lifestyle?

In reality, both types can work well for you, it just depends on when you want to use them.

  • Toe separators: They provide greater separation between your fingers, which will give you greater balance. They are more flexible, allowing for more natural movement. They are completely attached to the foot, so during dynamic sports activities such as walking, running or training, you won't even know you're wearing them!
  • Finger spacers : The space between the fingers is smaller, which means you can wear it for longer without noticing. In addition, they do not squeeze the fingers, which makes them more comfortable for long periods of time. The material is harder, this makes them tremendously durable.

Our personal recommendation would be to use the spacers during your work day since you will not notice that you are wearing them and combine them with separators during more specific moments such as sports, stretching, training in the gym, etc. These separators provide many benefits in activities of this type.

¿Qué es la banda gris que me ha llegado junto a los separadores?

Es una banda elástica que estamos regalando para ayudar en no solo el alineamiento de los dedos de los pies, sino también en su fortalecimiento. Con esta banda podrás hacer estiramientos, flexiones, abducciones de tus dedos pulgares.

En nuestro instagram te mostramos algunos ejercicios.

¿Qué modificaciones puedo hacer en los espaciadores de dedos?

¿Separadores normales o advanced?

Te dejamos este blog donde te explicamos la diferencia para que puedas elegir cuál necesitas.

How long is it necessary to use the decontracting ball?

To obtain the benefits of the decontracting ball, it is recommended to use it for 5 to 10 minutes daily. This time is enough to massage and relax your feet, improve circulation and relieve accumulated tension. Remember to listen to your body and adjust the duration according to your comfort and needs.

We recommend starting sitting. As our feet get used to the sensations, we can continue supporting our body on a table so that we can exert more pressure on the foot without dropping all of our body weight. Over time you will be able to stand on the ball without feeling any type of pain, it is the magic of the adaptation of our feet.

Is it better to wear 5-finger or normal socks?

It is preferable to wear toe socks instead of regular socks when wearing barefoot shoes. Toe socks allow the toes to expand naturally, promoting a more natural and balanced stride. Normal socks tend to compress the toes due to the elastic, which goes against the comfort and benefits of barefoot.

Does it make sense to sleep with dividers?

No. The best way to obtain all the benefits of separators is if they are used while moving, practicing sports activities such as training, running, practicing CrossFit, but also walking. It is at these moments when the foot muscles are activated. If you put them on statically, your foot will return to its shape as soon as you take them off.

It is not necessary to make much difference between the size of the foot and the inside of the minimal shoes.

Estas zapatillas han de quedar ajustadas (aunque no justas).No es necesario aplicar mucha diferencia entre lo que mide el pie respecto al interior de las minimal.

Sin problema. Pero lo ideal es que fueran calcetines 5 dedos para aprovechar al máximo la libertad que te da este calzado.

¿Se pueden usar con separadores de dedos?

Si, de hecho es muy recomendable. Su puntera anatómica permite sin problema su uso con separadores.

¿Cómo puedo lavarlas?

Para mantener las zapatillas en óptimas condiciones, se recomienda limpiarlas a mano:

  • Llena un recipiente con agua fría o tibia, no superior a los 45ºC.
  • Sumerge las zapatillas en el agua y frótalas suavemente con las manos para eliminar la suciedad y las manchas. Utiliza el jabón habitual pero nunca lejía.
  • Enjuaga bien las zapatillas con agua limpia para eliminar cualquier residuo de jabón o detergente.

También se pueden meter en la lavadora, utilizando un programa suave, agua fría o templada y metiendo las zapatillas en una malla de lavado de prendas delicadas. Agrega un detergente suave si es necesario.

Después de la limpieza, deja que las zapatillas se sequen al aire libre en un lugar ventilado. Nunca meter las MINIMAL en la secadora.
