Vivobarefoot Asana Yin Ballerina Leather

Fits slightly generous in length but you may choose your regular size if you have wider feet or need more room in the toebox.

Vivobarefoot makes the Asana Yin Ballerina Leather in women’s European sizes only.

Fit Notes:

• The leather will slightly stretch and mold to the shape of your feet with wear.
• Footprint shape: triangle shape overall, with a taper from the wider toebox to the narrower midfoot and heel areas.
• Volume: fits low to average volume feet best, as the vamp area may start off snug.
• Width: narrow to average fit as with most Vivobarefoot models
• The fit has some flexibility given that the stretchy design will suit a variety of feet, however there are no adjustment methods.
• Toebox shape: sloping toebox, could suit mountain toes as well. If you have these forefoot shapes and are between sizes, take the smaller size. If you have plateau or square feet and are between sizes, take the larger size. It’s a strong slope.
• Width in the forefoot area is: centred. Despite the way the outsole cuts in under the arch, the leather easily accommodates a triangular fit.
• That said, if you have a wider midfoot and very low arch (touching the ground, even), the leather area may take on wear and tear much more quickly. 

The ballerinas are very flexible and have tons of ground feel!

We recommend this model for folks who want to feel as close to barefoot as possible. For those new to minimal and used to stiffer cushiony shoes, start slow and research transition to avoid injury.

Depending on your foot volume, you may be able to add your own thin insoles to wear inside these, for example if you’re on your feet for long hours.

Brush dirt and debris off with a gentle brush or dry cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Apply leather conditioner occasionally to maintain soft and strong leather properties.

Store away from light and heat sources.
