Chala Alpini

Is the first barefoot sandal for very demanding and alpine terrain, which does not require any buttons or toe posts. It is available with very stable side straps, 100% vegan or made of fine Black Forest court leather and in two different widths.

We have been thinking about and tinkering with the Alpini model for years, trying it out and developing some prototypes, nothing really convinced us. Now there was a reversal at relatively short notice, through a long-standing customer who visited us there was a decisive breakthrough. He brought along a very good shape, including a prototype, which we further developed together and finalized into these beautiful sandals. So here it is, the new Alpini. This particular model is made for rugged off-road, trail running and high-mountain hiking. A real sandal for the entire adventure area, made for every adventure, no matter how demanding, the journey or your travel trip. With completely new, highly effective and especially abrasion-resistant Vibram soles from the Megagrip series, these are so-called compact soles which are extremely abrasion-resistant and extremely non-slip when wet. The new Alpini does not require any toe posts or buttons, it is equipped with very comfortable, indestructible tubular straps. The side straps specially developed by us are covered with OnSteam® for excellent wearing comfort. For the first time ever, the side ankle straps are fixed on this sandal, which ensures additional stability in the field, and the buckle can be optimally adjusted using four stable square rings and the strong adhesive special Velcro strap. Slipping or breaking out to the side, which is often the case with almost all sandals, is almost impossible. The sandal is available in fine Black Forest court leather - or as a 100% vegan version. And available in five or four colors, black, red, gold (vegan only), blue and brown. As with the BF Premium, we offer the Alpini in two different widths, for slim and wide feet. The Alpini is delivered in the usual high quality including a wax finish and an organic cotton gym bag.
