Additional option: INSOLES, honeycomb-perforated and open with cushions from micro fleece or entirely covered with micro fleece or both of these variants. Recommended for senitive soles, particularly hard soils and at low temperatures. With these, even the smallest twigs or thin spines of example thistles or sea urchin are no longer able to reach the soles.

What size do I need?

Your usual shoe size is, for example, EU43? Then select - as usual for sports shoes - one size up = EU44.

We are glad to help! If you frequently have problems finding shoes that fit, please take advantage of our service at purchasing and select the appropriate option. Once we receive your order, we'll be in touch for the further procedure.

How does the sole concept work?

Structure and performance of the sole concepThe softer the ground, the more the outsole "lowers" into the ground and URBAN, similar to our pure ring mesh shoes, becomes a minimalist shoe with full ground contact. The harder and more shallow a surface becomes the more the entire structure "raises" above the ground and the rib structure of the outsole take over the load. On rocks, reefs or sharp gravel the benefit of this comfortable cushioning can immediately be felt. The ribs now ensure that more body weight is distributed over a smaller area and the higher load causes a fantastic grip and stability.

The sole thickness under the ball of the foot and under the heel is between 5 and 7 mm. The resulting cushioning is even sufficient to make URBAN suitable for the usual hard surfaces in residential areas and inner cities. On flat surfaces it remains a consistent distance between the sole and the ground. Here the feet are very well vented which is beneficial for foot health. Feeling and enjoying the elements beneath your feet  is a very interesting experience! However, those who want to enjoy the benefits of URBANon yachts and boats should opt for ATTAGO WHITE, since this version is equipped with a white and softer outsole which does not make stripes.

Do I need insoles for URBAN?

If your mood, or even the weather changes, URBAN can either be a completely open barefoot shoe or a "normal" closed minimal shoe for leisure and sports! The insoles are not fitted into the shoe but are fully removable depending on your mood and environmental demands, making them flexible in every way! To make this work you can choose between two insoles, each 2.5 mm thick, very soft and honeycombed structured / perforated. Especially on hard floors, reefs, edges and sharp stones the additional cushioning can be enjoyed. Already the integrated layer of chainmail protects effectively against all objects that exceed a diameter of 1.5 mm. The insoles reduce this diameter down to 0.5 mm. So even the smallest twigs, stones or thin spines of thistles can no longer reach the soles of your feet.

What material is the upper shoe?

The entire upper shoe is made from a special 3D mesh (in case of URBAN SILVER even aluminum vapor-coated) that is highly breathable, very smooth on the inside and extremely ‘grippy’ on the outside. This means that URBAN can be worn directly on the skin and still protect the entire upper foot against potential puncture wounds from outside. Another special feature of the processed textiles is that the more often you wear URBAN, the softer and the more supple they become with the entire shoe adapting to the individual foot shape with every use.

How to get started?

Begin on soft soil that you would consider barefoot friendly. This might include a nearby park, grass, as well as meadows, moss and, generally, forest soil. At the beginning make use of our insoles or wear thin sport socks. Take your time to get to know their properties. Increase gradually!

How and when do I clean URBAN?

If URBAN is worn on the bare skin, it should completely (including insoles) be washed in the washing machine every 2-3 days. The fabric is permeable but warm, takes no water and dirt in it’s stride and can easily be washed under running water or in the washing machine between 30°C and 40°C. A quick spinning cycle afterwards dries them quickly and completely.  Remarkably your feet will feel dry in URBAN even in wet conditions as water can immediately escape in all directions and the shoes even dry while wearing them.

What if i do not like them?

From experience we don't expect that you want to return them to us. Once you have seen and tried them you'll love the concept. But of course it is no problem to send them back to us. If they are still unused and the accessory is complete, we will refund you the full purchase price. Click here to see the details.
