Add a useful set of "Paws" to your ULTRAs or CLASSICs!

You already own a pair of PaleoBarefoots^® from series ULTRA or CLASSIC (version PURE)? Then you will like the PAW-OPTION! The hardly noticeable, soft PU sole spots add more comfort to Paleos® and make them additionally useful for urban surfaces. With usual footwear there's no way to experience such a safe, slip-resistant contact with the ground than with the so called "PAWS".

You know best where you're using your ULTRAs/CLASSICs (PURE) or where you'd like to enjoy their benefits. Choose the Paw version that suits your conditions best. The PaleoBarefoots® itself, as well as all "Paw variants", were originally developed for preferably wet and damp conditions. In addition, however, they work perfectly well on soft, hard and rocky natural soils on land.

Who needs "Paws"?

You don't need "Paws" if: The pure chainmail versions of series Paleos^®ULTRA and CLASSIC are already the best form of outdoor protection on natural surfaces, whether land or water, that they can be. Paleos® without "Paws" are still ideally suited to natural soils and terrain, and while the addition of "Paws" can bring some benefits, they really aren't necessary if you're predominantly using your Paleos on these surfaces (sand, clay, earth, mud, streams, lakes). The ring-mesh of ULTRA and CLASSIC provides the perfect grip for these surfaces. For underwater activity like diving or snorkeling, you'll also be fine without "Paws", though you might find them useful in the boat!

You need "Paws" if: If you're transitioning from water to land - for instance moving surfboards or clambering onto boats, you'll find "Paws" useful for these and similar applications. If you're a runner or hiker and you sometimes have to deal with hard, stony or rocky ground, or you like to walk around in the city, you will really appreciate the extra grip "Paws" provide. Areas inhabited by humans are full of hard, smooth, polished plane surface. "Paws" not only provide pleasant additional damping, but an amazing grip on artificial surfaces before reaching the park!
