VIBAe

About VIBAe

VIBAe is a footwear label designed in Finland and handcrafted in Portugal by skilled artisans. It was founded by friends from Finland and California, and the name comes from the Finnish word for "vibe". The shoes sit in the minimalist camp, with thin, light, flexible soles and a wide toebox, but they aren't barefoot in the strict sense. Inside is the Carbon Step footbed, which compresses with your body weight and adapts to your foot over time. They are handmade from vegetable-tanned, chrome-free leather that stretches naturally as you wear it, so the advice is to buy a close, glove-like fit rather than sizing up. There are no half sizes. Besides shoes, the range includes sandals.
