Additional option: INSOLES, honeycomb-perforated and open with cushions from micro fleece or entirely covered with micro fleece or both of these variants.

How does the sole concept work?

Structure and performance of the sole concept: The softer the ground, the more the outsole "lowers" into the ground and SI-GLIDE, 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 2 and 3 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!

Do I need insoles for SI-GLIDE?

If your mood, or even the weather changes, SI-GLIDE 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 such as marble and tiles 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 only fabric used for all elements and upholstery elements of the shoe upper is a perforated so-called PU microfleece (Polyurethane). It is soft, but completely insensitive to water, moisture, heat, cold and barely able to absorb water or dirt. KETARON SI-GLIDE can easily be rinsed under running water and / or washed in the washing machine at up to 60°C (104°F).

How to get started?

Use them at home, in the office, in your own garden, at the campsite, on the lawn, at the shore - wherever you feel comfortable! At the beginning and on hard flooring (eg. marble and tiles) use our insoles or wear your socks.

How and when do I clean SI-GLIDE?

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 at up to 60°C (104°F). A quick spinning cycle afterwards dries them quickly and completely. Remarkably your feet will feel dry in SI-GLIDE even in wet conditions as water can immediately escape in all directions and the shoes even dry while wearing them.
