Supple leather, zero drop and unique looks - casual shoes for adults.
The Zuma shoes are made from leather that adapts to the shape of your foot. They’re a great choice for spring, summer and autumn use. This model is named after Zuma Beach, a beach in California that is home turf for one of VIBAe’s founding couples.
The design shares many features with barefoot shoes, but the Carbon Step insoles inside give them just enough structure that the manufacturer doesn’t classify them as true barefoot shoes. Compared to regular shoes, however, your feet still get to work in a more natural way. The sole structure is only 3 mm thick.
The shoes have what’s known as zero drop—the sole is the same thickness at the heel and the ball of the foot. This places the foot in a more natural position than typical shoes, which usually have a raised heel. The insole is slightly wedge-shaped, but the soft material compresses under the heel to match the thickness under the front of the foot.
Pair the Zuma shoes with jeans, a suit, or a skirt – they’re versatile and go with many styles. You can use the heel as usual, or step on it, using the shoes as slides.
