You put on the shoes before an evening walk, the insole still tucked into place for a bit of familiar cushioning underfoot.
The Removable Insole
This zero-drop, wide-toe-box shoe pairs a rubber outsole with a removable cushioned insole—the one part designed to change. Leave it in for a supported, everyday fit, or take it out when you want a thinner, closer-to-ground feel for barefoot-style training.
That single insole becomes the difference between a cushioned everyday shoe and a stripped-down, ground-feel training shoe.
