The new Flexi Nens 9092-S Salvaje Negro combine the format of a women's high boot with an anatomical toe box, a 4 mm flexible sole and zero drop
Barefoot footwear continues to expand its possibilities beyond trainers, sandals or minimalist-looking shoes. With the arrival of the autumn and winter season, one of the biggest challenges for many women is finding high boots that maintain the characteristics of barefoot footwear without sacrificing a polished, easily combinable design.
Deditos Barefoot is now expanding its women's catalogue with the Flexi Nens 9092-S Salvaje Negro, leather high boots that translate the principles of barefoot footwear into a biker-inspired silhouette. The model is currently available in sizes 37 to 43.
At first glance, the 9092-S catch the eye with their completely black finish, the line of metal studs running up the shaft and the buckle situated on the instep. However, beneath this urban boot aesthetic are some of the elements that differentiate Flexi Nens 9092-S women's barefoot boots from many conventional boots: a wide, anatomical toe box, a flat and flexible base and no height difference between the heel and the front area.
The toe box is precisely one of the relevant elements of the model. Conventional women's boots usually resort to narrower or more streamlined shapes in the front area. The Flexi Nens 9092-S maintain an anatomical last that provides more space for the toes, while retaining an urban appearance that allows them to be easily integrated into different dressing styles.
A thin, flat and flexible sole
The Flexi Nens 9092-S incorporate a flexible and non-slip rubber sole of approximately 4 mm. Furthermore, they feature zero drop, meaning there is no heel elevation relative to the front of the foot.
The insole is flat and removable, which makes it easy to take out for airing or cleaning when necessary.
The exterior is made of Salvaje black leather, while the interior is textile. To facilitate everyday use, the boot has a side zip, so the visible buckle on the instep functions mainly as part of its design.
The model is made in Spain by Nens, a firm traditionally linked to the Elche footwear sector.
Its aesthetic allows these boots to be combined with very different garments. They can be worn with jeans or leggings for an informal outfit, but also with skirts, knitted dresses or midi dresses.
The black colour facilitates its incorporation into an autumn and winter wardrobe, while the studs and buckle provide a more distinct character than that of a classic high boot.
An alternative for those who do not want to give up barefoot in winter
The growth of barefoot footwear has led those who already use this type of shoe for a good part of the year to also look for alternatives for the colder months.
The Flexi Nens 9092-S Salvaje Negro respond precisely to that need: to maintain the characteristics of barefoot within a high boot with a clearly urban aesthetic.
In a boot of this type, there is also an additional consideration regarding a shoe or an ankle boot: the fit of the shaft.
For this reason, in addition to correctly selecting the length corresponding to each size, women with particularly wide calves should also check that the shaft fits the leg correctly before choosing.
The combination of wide toe box, flexibility, zero drop and thin sole allows for a feeling different to that of a conventional boot, while its design allows it to be used in both informal looks and slightly more polished outfits.
The metal studs and buckle add a biker touch, but without making it a difficult boot to combine.
It can work with an all-black look, with jeans and a jumper, with leggings or even with a dress and tights during the colder months.
The Flexi Nens 9092-S Salvaje Negro are thus presented as an option for women looking for a high barefoot boot for autumn and winter, but who do not want to limit themselves to sporty or overly basic designs.
The model is available in sizes 37 to 43 within the Deditos Barefoot women's barefoot footwear collection.
