Ahinsa xWide Sundara Ankle Barefoot Black

A High-Performance & Multi-Purpose Boot

The Ahinsa xWide Sundara Ankle Barefoot is a high-performance, multi-purpose boot that can be used for day hikes, long-distance trekking, or simply for around-town wear. This comfortable vegan boot, designed by physical therapists, incorporates a waterproof (yet breathable) leather-alternative upper and a durable Lifoprene outsole that’s both extremely flexible and abrasion-resistant. The xWide Sundara Ankle Barefoot is easily foldable and packable, making it a great option for travel.

Exceptionally Wide Toe Box, Zero Drop Platform

This high-quality, handmade minimalist boot lets your foot function naturally and keeps your feet and toes happy and free. The healthy-foot-shaped xWide Sundara Ankle Barefoot incorporates one of the widest toe boxes available on the market to accommodate natural toe splay, and its zero drop sole allows your heel and forefoot to sit on a level plane, which helps stabilize your ankle and encourages natural arch support. The relatively thin, yet protective sole helps your foot become strong on its own and confers excellent ground feel.

Works Great in Concert With Other Footgear

The Ahinsa xWide Sundara Ankle Barefoot works great with Correct Toes toe spacers and other natural footgear, including Injinji toe socks, Pedag metatarsal pads or Strutz Pro foot pads, and Naboso insoles. Combining this footgear can be helpful in addressing or preventing common foot and toe ailments such as bunions, hammertoes, other types of crooked toes, neuromas, and plantar fasciosis, among other problems. Each lightweight Ahinsa xWide Sundara Ankle Barefoot boot weighs about 9 oz.

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.
