Description
Suomi-Kenkä, completed in the premises of the former Reino® and Aino® shoe factory in Pankakoski, Lieksa, Finland, represents modern Scandinavian design, in which the sole of the foot comes first. An improved and updated version of the traditional "slipper", which is more versatile, healthier and more comfortable.
A general shoe suitable for everyday use. The "Ecorubber™" sole containing recycled rubber is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. The top is made of 90% wool, which is Mulesing-free. Wool is cool in summer and warm in winter and absorbs moisture from the foot. The rubber loop on the heel is designed so that it can also be left under the heel if necessary. Easy to slip on. With the flexible adjustment loop on the footboard, the shoe can be adjusted to fit very different feet. The tip of the shoe is wide so that there is plenty of room for the toes.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The Feelmax® EcoRubber sole, which contains recycled rubber, uses two different rubber properties; hard under the instep and heel, softer elsewhere. In this way, optimal wear resistance, flexibility and grip are achieved.
The sole is vulcanized directly to the upper without harmful adhesives. Direct vulcanization ensures an exceptionally strong joint.
Very light and flexible - easy to take with you on a trip, e.g. as a break shoe.

UNIQUE OUTSOLE
The soles of the shoes are made of "Ecorubber™" natural rubber, which is mixed with rubber crumb from recycled car tires and rubber scraps from tire manufacturing. The rubber compound is vulcanized (=melted) directly onto the upper of the shoe, which guarantees a very strong connection. In practice, 99.5% of the rubber compound can be used in production, so there is no waste! Direct vulcanization also eliminates the use of adhesives. Adhesives are harmful both to the environment and to the workers handling them.
The shoes are wide at the toes, one of the basic things for foot health is that the tip of the shoe must not squeeze the toes together at all. However, the shoes fit well around the ankle. They are also made extremely light.
The sole is thin and flexible, activating and strengthening the small muscles and tendons of the foot. This way, the shoe works properly according to the natural ergonomics of the foot, not against it. Strong leg muscles are the foundation of foot health. Thanks to the base we developed, they get the exercise they need in everyday use - without any extra "leg training".
