Ahinsa Vida Sneaker

The Ahinsa Vida seems to fit true-to-size, with a generously wide and fairly high-volume toebox and a more tapered fit into the heel.

The Ahinsa Vida, like other Ahinsa shoes, uses unisex EU sizing ranging from 36-46.

Fit Notes:

• Material will stretch - similarly to leather - with wear
• Bean-shaped footprint
• Medium-high volume, particularly in the toebox
• Average overall width with a strongly tapered heel
• Very adjustable fit with high-volume forefoot and derby-style lacing
• Plateau-shaped toebox
• Forefoot width skewed more towards the big toe
• High volume and wide toebox may be difficult to secure for those with shallow or narrow feet

Restore access to your range of motion with the Lifo+ German outsole. It’s surprisingly lightweight and its flexibility will match the movement of your feet.

The Vida has a very barefoot feeling sole, with maximum sensation and movement availability. These are perfect for customers who want to feel as barefoot as possible. 

If you are new to minimal and barefoot footwear, take it slow with these or wear with an extra insole to start off as your feet get stronger and more flexible. You may even wish to start with something that's a bit more cushioned at first, depending on what you're used to.

The Vida is made from CF+ material: cruelty-free material that looks no different from leather at first glance. However, it lasts a lot longer than leather and molds to your feet from the first time you wear it.

In shoes made from CF+, your feet can freely breathe and stay dry.

• Waterproof
• Resists scratches and scuffs
• 100% vegan
• Wicks away sweat from your feet

 CF+ is very easy to clean, just wipe with a damp cloth! Here's a few other tips from Ahinsa.

If you’re looking for a trail shoe for hiking or running, or even to walk in the park, the Chitra will be your option for barefoot freedom! They come the closest to the flexibility and groundfeel of being barefoot while offering the grip and protection of a trail shoe. They are so lightweight and breathable you’ll barely notice they’re there.

They are super spacious in the forefoot and offer a secure sculpted fit around the midfoot and hindfoot so you can move with confidence and comfort on any terrain! Probably the one place you don’t want to wear them regularly is city sidewalks and pavement, as that can wear down lugs on trail footwear unnecessarily quickly. However, Vibram is well known for their durability, so we’ll have to wait for more feedback to know for sure. 

Great for thee summer with their breathable upper leather lining and cut-out features to minimize overheating when taking strolls in the sun.
