Zero Drop - Wide Toe Box - Little heavier - Quite flexible and thicker sole - LEATHER - UNISEX

Barebarics UrbanEdge waterproof ankle barefoot shoes are a great choice for winter! The waterproof membrane ensures resistance to water or wet snow, while Primaloft technology keeps your feet warm. Be Lenka's Barebarics PowerGrip sole with dominant grip guarantees foot safety. You will fall in love with the UrbanEdge model thanks to all these attributes, which help deal with difficult terrain and weather conditions.

PETRI'S PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

This winter's new model Barebarics UrbanEdge complements our Be Lenka winter shoe range well. It is quite a bit more cushioned than Be Lenka's other warmest models (Winter 3.0 and Ranger 2.0 - Barebarics PolarStride has the same PowerGrip outsole as UrbanEdge has). On the other hand, the shoe also has a roomier instep than the mentioned models, which is also a good thing for many Finns especially. The toe-box is slightly narrower as in other Be Lenka's models. The appearence of the shoe has also been designed to be more street-worthy than the simply stylish Winter 3.0 model - of course, everyone looks this from their own perspective.

UrbanEdge is a winter shoe for even the coldest weather! Leather as a material naturally repels water, and UrbanEdge also has a water proof membrane inside the shoe. You won't get cold if you just move a little and wear woolen socks no matter what the weather is - on the other hand, an ankle-high shoe doesn't work as well in deep snow as the Winter 3.0 and other higher models.

On the scale of pure barefoot shoe - hybrid model - thick-soled barefoot shoe, I would put the UrbanEdge with its own insole in the category of thick-soled barefoot shoe. Without the insole, the shoe is a "hybrid shoe" - this model can be used without the insole even in winter!

Suitability for barefootshoe beginners:

Since the shoe has a total thickness and cushioning of up to 16 mm, the model is safe even for beginners. Of course, you should avoid kilometers of asphalt walk with hard heel first steps until you know your limits, but it won't be a disaster.

Test different models at the beginning and talk to barefoot experts!

Suitability for experienced barefooters:

UrbanEdge might feel a bit boring and heavy compared to Winter 3.0 for an experienced barefooter? On the other hand, take off the insole and the ground feel is immediately better - you can remove it in winter also because the sole still has insulation. In all aspects, UrbanEdge is a functional shoe, but it is not as its best in deep snow.

Note that the shoe is made in Vietnam and not in Europe like almost all other Be Lenka shoes.
