Description
Made in the former factory that manufactured Reino® and Aino® shoes in Pankakoski, Lieksa, Finland, Suomi-Kenkä represents modern Scandinavian design that focuses on the sole of the foot. An improved and updated version of the traditional “slippers” that are more versatile, healthier and more comfortable.
A versatile shoe for everyday use. The “Ecorubber™” sole containing recycled rubber is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. The upper is made of 90% wool that is Mulesing-free. Wool is cool in summer and warm in winter and absorbs moisture from the foot. The rubber heel loop is designed so that it can also be left under the heel if necessary. Easy to slip on. The elastic adjustment loop on the instep makes the shoe suitable for a wide range of feet. The toe of the shoe is wide to give 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 hardnesses; hard under the ball and heel, softer elsewhere. This achieves optimal wear resistance, flexibility and grip.
The sole is vulcanized directly to the upper without harmful adhesives. Direct vulcanization ensures a very strong sole-to-upper bond.
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 crumb rubber from recycled car tires and rubber residues from tire manufacturing. The rubber compound is vulcanized (=melted) directly onto the upper of the shoe, which ensures a very strong bond. Practically 99.5% of the rubber compound can be used in production, so no waste is generated! Direct vulcanization also eliminates the use of glues. Glues are harmful to both the environment and the workers who handle them.
The shoes are wide at the toes, one of the basic things in foot health is that the toe of the shoe should not squeeze the toes together at all. However, the shoes fit well at 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 in accordance with the natural ergonomics of the foot, not against it. Strong foot muscles are the foundation of foot health. Thanks to the sole we have developed, they get the exercise they need in everyday use – without any extra “foot training”.
