Suitable For
Spring and autumn
Everyday wear
City walks and daily activities
The model often fits standard to wider feet and is also suitable for so-called “flipper” feet (narrow heel, wider forefoot).
It is more suitable for low, standard, and slightly higher insteps. Thanks to its well-designed cut, it can also be nicely tightened around narrower ankles.
Sizing Tips
Measure both the length and width of the foot while standing and follow the size chart of the specific model.
For wetter conditions, choose the version with a TEX membrane.
Smooth leather is more sensitive to scuffing – consider a model with a protective toe cap.
We recommend impregnating most models before first use.
Patent versions should be treated according to the manufacturer’s specific recommendations.
Note: Mechanical damage (e.g., from balance bikes) is not covered by warranty.
Mini-FAQ
Are they suitable for rain?
Leather is naturally water-repellent and can handle light spring rain. For maximum protection, regular impregnation is recommended.
Can feet get sweaty?
The shoes are breathable, but in warmer weather feet may sweat. We recommend keeping the insole inside – it supports thermal comfort and proper membrane function.
Should new shoes be impregnated immediately after purchase?
Yes. The first impregnation creates a protective layer against water and deep dirt (dust, mud, grease).
Why shouldn’t they be dried on a radiator?
Direct heat can permanently damage the leather (hardening, cracking), weaken the bonding, and reduce the functionality of the TEX membrane.
FEBO Urban is an ideal choice for adults and children looking for stylish retro-inspired barefoot sneakers while also supporting healthy foot development.
