WHY CHOOSE FLOW
Detailed overview
ZuZu Flow is designed to be as flexible and enduring as the adventurers who wear them.
Like water, Flow will adapt to any path you embark on, whether it's hiking, running, dancing or exploring the great outdoors.
With a total thickness of 6.8mm and a unique tire sole covered with an embedded textile layer, Flow offers the ultimate "barefoot-like" experience without sacrificing foot protection and durability.
Its raw and wild design is a testament to its durability and grit, making it the perfect companion for any rugged terrain.
Simply put, these sandals were born to be taken into the wild.
LIVE (LIKE) BAREFOOT
Barefoot begginers
Transitioning to barefoot walking (or running) requires adaptation of your foot muscles and soles. As these muscles get stronger and adjust to their natural state, you will find that walking in minimalist shoes feels more natural and comfortable than anything else.
The ZuZu Flow model provides the most primal experience among our sandals. With a sole made of 100% upcycled car tire that was refined to nothing more than the bare essentials, these sandals will be perfect for experienced barefoot adventurers that want to feel the ground up close.
However, while it will keep your feet safe and protected, it has no cushioning which might be a bit tough for the untrained foot.
If this is your first time trying minimalist footwear, you might want to check out our Flex and Groove models as well. That being said, ZuZu Flow will be a great choice if you are willing to have a short adaptation period.
EXPLORE URBAN JUNGLES
Everyday use
Cities often use asphalt, concrete, and brick to pave their sidewalks and streets. These surfaces are made of highly dense materials that can feel uncomfortable and unnatural for the feet, especially when walked on for extended periods of time.
Having the most raw and minimal sole also has a trade-off in this case. With no extra cushioning covering the sole, ZuZu Flow can challenge (and strengthen) your feet more intensely when walking on hard surfaces.
While it is delightful to walk with Flow out in nature, if you do most of your walking on hard urban surfaces, we recommend taking a closer look at ZuZu Flex and ZuZu Groove.
RUN WITH YOUR ZUZU SANDALS
Barefoot running
Yes, running in sandals is THE thing. In fact, the Taharumara tribe, who originated our sandal design, were renowned for their super-human running abilities.
We crafted our ZuZu Flow model as a modern and versatile interpretation of their original design, which featured leather straps and repurposed car tires.
However, it's worth noting that the indigenous people had a lifelong milage of running on natural surfaces. Similarly, using Flow sandals for running is most enjoyable on trails and natural roads.
To summarize, the ZuZu Flow model is an excellent option for experienced barefoot runners who primarily run on natural surfaces. For those who prefer a more versatile and adaptable option, we recommend considering the ZuZu Flex or Groove models.
MOVE WITH THE EARTH
Ground feel
A key aspect of barefoot sandals is to allow the foot to move in its natural range without any unnecessary assistance or support.
As our most minimal model, ZuZu Flow provides the most barefoot-like experience. Due to its increased ground feel you will feel all the subtle curves, texture, stones and branches under your feet, transforming any walk or hike out in nature into a more connected experience.
One of our favorite features of these sandals is that the more you wear them, the more they feel like a part of your foot. Thanks to the flexibility of the materials, the sole adapts to the arch of your foot, improving the fit over time.
In conclusion, if minimalism and ground feel are your top priority, ZuZu Flow is a perfect choice.
FOR AQUATIC ADVENTURERS
Water performance
As the name suggests, ZuZu Flow loves water. Whether you're walking on a water trail, cliff jumping, kayaking, or washing your floors, ZuZu Flow will keep you rooted thanks to its excellent grip.
In addition, the texture of the tire-embedded textile footbed provides great traction, and it dries up really fast.
To sum up, if you are getting your feet wet routinely, we recommend choosing between ZuZu Flow and ZuZu Flex.
