TALUS is a refined evolution of our debut model, PHALANX — featuring the same minimalist construction and essential barefoot principles. It has a wide toe box, zero 'heel-to-toe' drop, and a thin, flexible outsole that allows your feet to move naturally. Designed to be unisex. The upper features an additional leather panel at the front, creating a slightly more conventional sneaker silhouette while maintaining the natural shape of a barefoot shoe. Each pair is handcrafted in Portugal using premium materials, with the soft upper stitched to a specially designed outsole for the best barefoot experience. Italian suedes and leathers Cow leather lining Micro fiber heel lining Waxed cotton laces 4 mm thick rubber outsole with a total 8 mm stack height Delivered with an extra pair of insoles, an additional set of laces, and a JOA tote bag
