Ababa is our simple slip-on shoe on a mission. Made with Ethiopian Wild Hide, this subtle, naturally-scarred leather is provided by small-scale farmers. As part of our Soul of Africa range, speaking directly to the Laetoli footprints, the shoes are handmade in Ethiopia, empowering makers, supporting local communities.

We're confident that after experiencing the joys of natural foot freedom, your feet won't want to go back to 'normal' shoes.

So confident, we've introduced a 100 day trial to all orders. If you change your mind within that period, we're happy for you to return your shoes for a full refund with no hassle.

Your trial will commence automatically from the date your order arrives. Simply check out with your shoes as usual and we'll take care of the rest. (Standard Ts and Cs apply).

Needs a little adjusting

These were potentially my third pair of vivos. I have owned and worn out the Tracker boots and currently use a pair of Primus sneakers, on their third summer.

The Ababa design has great potential. The toe box is wide, but has an elegant shape, the leather is creamy, and the color choices are beautiful. But they are floppy. Especially in the heal, there is too much space inside.

Versatile Comfort!

These are very comfortable and have a loose, almost weightless fit. I would recommend sizing down a bit particularly if you have narrow feet.

I also love that the look of these makes them versatile!
