Vivobarefoot Asana Yin Ballerina Knit Flat

The Vivobarefoot Asana Yin Ballerina Knit provides a modern take on a classic ballet flat with a soft upper knit that allows for breathability and flexibility. Perfect for slipping on during warm summer days.

Features

• Elastic upper made from Vivo's degradable elastane material Roica™

• The Asana Yin Ballerina Flat is made entirely from Vegan materials

• The upper mesh provides optimal breathability 

• There is little to no tread and so is most ideal for causal wear and daily wear

• The Asana Yin Ballerina Flat is zero drop

• The Asana Yin Ballerina Flat has a 3.5 mm stack height and so has the most ground feel out of any of the Vivobarefoot products we carry 

Sizing

The Asana Yin Ballerina Flats are expected to fit true to size, with the mesh upper allowing for some generous wiggle room. They are expected to fit narrower in the mid-foot and heel, so they may not be ideal for individuals who require more room in those areas.

Vivo uses gendered EU sizing, and in the case of the Asana Yin Ballerina Knit, it is currently only available in Women's sizing. Women's sizing is built narrower and shallower compared to the same length in men's sizing. Men with narrower feet who have sizing options in the women's range may also enjoy the Asana Yin Ballerina Knit.

Fit Notes:

• The initial fit of the flat should be snug but the mesh is expected to stretch over time

• The Asana Yin Ballerina is expected to fit a triangle foot best

• With minimal material covering the top of the foot, it is expected that the Asana Yin Ballerina can accommodate most foot volumes

• The Asana Yin Ballerina is expected to fit narrow feet best

• The toe box shape for the Asana Yin Ballerina is a sloping shape and will fit people with descending toe lengths starting with the big toe

Ground Feel

The Asana Yin Ballerina is designed with a Minimal Sole to give you maximum underfoot sensory feedback. The 3.5mm sole with the signature Vivobarefoot hexagon tread made from 10% natural rubber and is ideal for a close-to-barefoot experience.

It is perfect if you're looking for the barefoot feeling while still staying comfortable and stylish in urban settings. It offers the lowest possible stack height without compromising on comfort and style.

If you're new to the world of minimal barefoot footwear and used to a lot of cushioning and support, don't worry. Just take it slow and easy with these flats. Move in ways that feel good and let comfort be your guide. You may want to start with limited daily wear time and work your way up to longer walks as your feet and gait adjust. You can support these developments with mobility and strengthening work, ask us for resources!

Care

You can brush off dirt and wipe these with a damp cloth as recommended by Vivobarefoot. Make sure to allow the shoes to dry at room temperature and out of direct heat sources like sunlight and the radiator.
