Koel Francie Leo in Cognac is a wool-lined barefoot sneaker for people who want to keep wearing sneakers as temperatures fall. Natural suede, leopard-print accents and dark details create a distinctive look that still works easily with everyday outfits.
A 100% natural wool-felt lining and removable wool-felt insole add warmth and comfort on cold days. Wool helps regulate warmth, making the design useful during transitional seasons too. The foot-shaped last provides generous toe room, while laces allow an adjustable fit.
The lightweight, highly flexible rubber sole provides grip with no height difference between heel and forefoot (zero drop). Its base is 2.5 mm thick, with a further 2 mm of tread. The wool-felt insole layer sits on a recycled foam base.
The shoes are designed and made in Portugal. Retailer HipHip states that the leather comes from Europe and uses environmentally considerate processing, and that the sole rubber meets EN 71 and EU requirements without phthalates, formaldehyde, BPA or azo dyes.
