Ahinsa Jaya Zip-Up Barefoot Black

An Attractive Minimalist Boot for Everyday Use

The Ahinsa Jaya Zip-Up Barefoot is an accommodating minimalist “combat” boot that’s designed by physical therapists to enhance foot form and function. This well-constructed and durable boot is made of premium materials and incorporates a scuff-resistant leather-alternative upper and a high-quality Lifoprene sole, both of which help ensure boot longevity and freedom of foot movement. Thanks to its conscientious design, the Jaya Zip-Up Barefoot works well for a variety of foot shapes, foot volumes, and calf sizes.

Wide Toe Box, Lightweight Design, Low Stack Height

Water-resistant and moisture wicking, the sturdy, yet supple Ahinsa Jaya Zip-Up Barefoot is well-suited to outdoor activities in a variety of climates and environments. Use this vegan boot around town for errands, get-togethers with friends, or other urban adventures, or zip up your Jaya Barefoots for an enjoyable (and foot-strengthening) off-road romp. With its generous, anatomical toe box and flexible, zero drop sole, this lightweight boot offers your foot an environment in which to thrive. Also, the low stack height of the Jaya Zip-Up Barefoot affords you exceptional ground feel and the ability to adapt to any terrain.

Can Be Combined With Other Natural Footgear

The Ahinsa Jaya Zip-Up Barefoot pairs nicely with Correct Toes toe spacers to help straighten the toes, restore optimal toe splay, and build strong, resilient feet. This footgear pairing can also be helpful in addressing or preventing common foot problems, such as bunions, crooked toes, neuromas, and plantar fasciosis (among others). The spacious Ahinsa Jaya Zip-Up Barefoot also works well in combination with other helpful natural footgear for synergistic foot health benefits, including Injinji toe socks, Pedag metatarsal pads, and Naboso insoles.

Note: If you are new to using Ahinsa footwear, we recommend that you start in slowly, gradually building up your wear-time and giving your body the chance to adapt to the thinner soles and the increased workload on your feet.
