The premium leather uppers are water-repellent and, with proper care, maintain excellent breathability and water-repellent properties over time.
The vulcanised rubber sole prevents moisture from entering the shoes up to 1.5 cm above ground level.
The insole features a 5 mm layer of felted natural sheep’s wool, which remains the best natural insulators against both cold and heat.
Developed and made in Slovenia
Contact E1 shoes are the right choice if you want to feel the ground beneath your feet as naturally as possible and experience walking that is close to being barefoot.
Shoe care helps maintain a good appearance, durability, and resistance to different weather conditions. Below are some practical tips.
Shoes made from smooth leather:
Occasionally wipe them with a damp cloth, which may include a drop of mild dishwashing liquid.
Clean shoes can be treated with a thin layer of colourless cream or leather balm, which should then be gently rubbed into the smooth leather using a dry cloth. When applying a new product, always test it on a less visible area before treating the entire surface.
Shoes made from suede, nubuck and brushed leather:
If dry and muddy, brush them with a suitable suede brush.
Occasionally wipe them with a damp cloth, which may include a drop of mild dishwashing liquid.
Once clean, apply a colourless waterproofing spray suitable for footwear.
For all Proalp shoes please also note:
Allow wet shoes to dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area or indoors, away from direct heat sources.
Never soak them in water or wash them in a washing machine.
If desired, during the off-season you can stuff them with crumpled absorbent paper (e.g. newspaper) to help maintain their shape.
How often should be shoes cleaned and maintained?
Everyone has their own preferences, but we recommend cleaning and caring for your shoes a few times per season.

What should healthy footwear be like?
It’s important that shoes are larger than our feet
Roomy toe box: Our toes are designed to move naturally while walking. The line at the big toe should remain as straight as possible, so it is not pushed inwards against the other toes. It is not just about width at the hallux; the toes also need enough space to splay naturally.
The right size: Shoes that are too short compress the toe joints and prevent the instep from settling properly, as well as affecting natural load transfer when walking.
Wide-shaped soles: Roomy soles allow you to step steadily and without restriction, using the full surface of your feet.
