Description
The Ibex barefoot shoes are designed for demanding and quality-conscious hikers. The surface of the shoe is made of high-quality leather, which is treated to be waterproof and breathable. The shoe has a patterned, rubber Hill Grip outsole that provides excellent grip on wet and slippery surfaces. If worn exclusively on tarmac/concrete, this outsole may wear faster than the MultiGrip sole, but provides more grip on the trail.
The Ibex model has a wide muzzle and flexible construction. No elevation under the heel or toes. The shoe has a removable insole (2.5 mm), so you can choose whether you want more or less shock absorption during your steps. The stack height with the insole is approx. 10.5 mm and without insole 8 mm.

Remember that the shoe has good volume in the forefoot, so the actual comfortable width of this shoe will be a few mm larger than this 'flat' measurement. The fit is personal, but most people will prefer to have at least 4 or 5 mm of extra space in front of their biggest toe.
