Vibae - Helsinki Leather - Preto Black

The Chelsea boot HELSINKI in deep black leather is an elegant fusion of minimalist Scandinavian design and top-class comfort. Slip-on with elasticated sides and a heel puller ensures easy on and off. The upper is made from vegetable-tanned, chrome-free leather. The outsole in recycled natural rubber is flexible and non-slip, and the anatomical, removable Carbon Step™ insole supports the arch, absorbs shock, and prevents odor with antibacterial properties. 100% handmade in a family factory in Portugal under responsible production conditions, as evidenced by Leather Working Group certification.

The VIBAe HELSINKI in black feels like an extension of your foot – it adapts over time, becoming form-fitting rather than soft. With a zero-drop design, the heel and forefoot are at the same height, while the ergonomic Carbon Step™ insole (11mm heel, 14mm arch, 7mm forefoot) provides natural support. The foam's open cell structure ensures ventilation and counteracts odor, while the cork shank stabilizes and insulates.

Black is a timeless choice: informal elegance that matches everything from jeans to dresses. Upon first wear, the fit feels snug – expect the shoe to stretch approximately half a size. If in doubt, we recommend going one size up for optimal comfort.

With your purchase, you support a sustainable leather choice, which is a byproduct of the food industry and tanned without chrome – all with consideration for the environment and social responsibility.
