Froddo Barefoot Up Trail Tex Cognac Ankle Boots

Froddo Barefoot Up Trail Tex Cognac Ankle Boots | Barefoot Ankle Boots with Membrane for Women

The Froddo Barefoot Up Trail Tex Cognac are women’s barefoot ankle boots with a membrane, designed to offer protection, comfort, and freedom of movement on cold or wet days.

They are made of water-repellent nubuck leather sourced from LWG-certified suppliers. They feature the Froddo TEX membrane, designed to enhance protection against moisture during everyday use without sacrificing the comfort of Barefoot footwear.

Their wide toe box allows the toes plenty of room to settle in and move naturally. They are recommended for medium-sized feet and all types of insteps, thanks to their design and the lace-up adjustment system.

The Lifolit® sole has zero drop, meaning it is the same height at the front and back. It is approximately 7 mm thick and is flexible in both bending and twisting, better supporting the foot’s natural movement.

The flexible upper prevents unnecessary stiffness in the ankle area, while the gusseted tongue helps keep the tongue in place and provides greater protection against cold, dirt, or moisture entering through the instep area. In addition, they feature a removable antibacterial insole, which is convenient for airing out the shoes, inspecting the interior, or maintaining footwear hygiene.

They feature a reflective detail on the heel, which provides added visibility in low-light conditions.

With an actual weight of 346 g in size 37—as measured by us—these are sturdy, comfortable, and functional winter Barefoot ankle boots for everyday use.

Its cognac color lends a warm, natural style that’s easy to pair with winter outfits, jeans, earth tones, and casual clothing.

Recommended Use

Care and Cleaning

Water-repellent suede and nubuck shoes should be cleaned regularly with a dry cloth or a brush suitable for suede, split leather, or nubuck.

If stains appear, let them dry before removing them with a soft brush designed specifically for this type of leather.

Occasionally apply a waterproofing spray suitable for suede or nubuck—preferably silicone-free—to help maintain the softness of the material and preserve the properties of the Froddo TEX membrane.

Do not rinse the ankle boots under running water.

Do not submerge in water.

Do not machine wash.

If they get wet, let them air dry naturally, away from radiators, hair dryers, heaters, or other direct sources of heat.

Excessive heat can damage the leather and alter the properties of the TEX membrane.

Remove the insole after use if it is damp inside, and let it air out separately.
