Zero Drop - Wide Toe Box - Light - Pretty flexible and thin sole - LEATHER
Conquer the city streets with Be Lenka Champ 3.0, a new & improved version of Belenka's best-selling barefoot sneakers! Soft and really light leather sneakers that suit your feet instantly. Metal loops for easy lacing. Stitched sole for durability.
PETRI'S PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This wonderful and really chic sneaker can easily be considered a genuine barefoot shoe thanks to the thin outsole of 4 mm plus the pattern. The insole of the shoe provides hardly any more cushioning. We recommend Be Lenka's own 6 mm ActiveBoost replacement insole!
On the scale of pure barefoot shoe - hybrid model - thick-soled barefoot shoe, I count the Champ in the "pure barefoot shoe" category.
Suitability for barefoot shoe beginners
I don't recommend Champs as the first and only barefoot shoes if you want to walk a lot right away with your first barefoot shoes. With a thicker insole and if you are able to moderately and gradually increase the amount of daily use, then Champs can also be used as first barefoot shoes if your if your physical condition is sufficient to that - however, among our sneakers Belenka Barebarics Zing is a safer and better option for a barefoot shoe beginner.
Test different models and ask advice from the barefoot shoe experts!
Suitability for experienced barefooters
Go for it! There's something in the Champs in their appearance (they definitely don't look like fivefingers) and a real barefoot feel! Works great on the city streets!
