MANASLU PLUS (10mm Vibram + LEATHER)

Thanks to its construction, this model is dedicated to walking. This is a completely new solution that is perfect for slow and fast walking. This model has been tested, e.g. while hiking the St. Jacob or trekking in the Himalayas. The straps go directly through the sole, creating a better angle on the foot. The new type of sole is profiled to the foot quite quickly, which makes the tapes rise up, excluding the possibility of abrasion.

The soft and flexible tape adheres perfectly to the foot without causing any abrasions. Thanks to the "side pillars", the strap is guided at the right height, which prevents it from slipping over the heel. Thanks to the snap buckle, the sandal is put on very quickly without the need for additional adjustment.

MANASLU PLUS (10mm Vibram + LEATHER)

This model is characterized by a 10mm Vibram sole covered with a leather lining. Thanks to the new sole and leather lining, you will feel even more comfort during use. The new sole is light and quickly molds to the foot. This sole is less hard, therefore we will feel more pleasure when using it. Thanks to the 10mm sole, we do not have to be afraid of stones, gravel or other unevenness. This model is characterized by a smooth tile-shaped sole profile. Thanks to the appropriate mix of Vibram rubber, the sandals are characterized by very high grip. Therefore, they are perfect for any terrain, both in rain and dry conditions.

Features of the 10mm sole:
The Vibram sole has unique properties that are great for running sandals.
The sole used in Monk Sandals is characterized by, among others:
- Lightness that improves mobility and saves energy.
- Excellent comfort during use. You don't feel them on your feet.
- The sole quickly contours to the foot.
- The sole is moderately stiff, so the front doesn't roll up.
- The sole is flexible, not very flexible.
- Easy to keep clean.
- Small size, making it easy to pack for any trip.
- The sole provides comfort when walking both in the city and in the field.
- The right rubber mixture gives a feeling of light cushioning (lack of hardness), protecting the foot from mechanical damage.
- The 10mm sole guarantees limited ground feel. The balance between minimalism and comfort is maintained. Sensitive feet will feel stones and unevenness, while barefoot connoisseurs will have full comfort.

Leather padding properties:

- Breathability, absorbs sweat and heat well, making it pleasant on hot days.
- Aesthetics, original design and natural color.

Disadvantages:
- Color change where it touches the foot. Leather becomes darker and "glassy" over time.

Advantages of through-sole straps:
- Thicker, more durable side straps.
- Control of the degree of wear of the side straps.
- Possibility of easy replacement (repair kit available on the website).
- Better guidance angle (straps are closer to the edge and fit better under the foot).
- Grooves in the sole that hide the straps, so the straps do not have contact with the ground.

- Wide range of colors.
