Winter with ArcticEdge Barefoot Shoes: Stay Warm and Dry Until Spring

Unmatched waterproof protection

You deserve shoes that truly deliver when it comes to keeping your feet dry — not just in light rain but in the heaviest downpour or snowstorm.

Be Lenka ArcticEdge barefoot shoes are equipped with a waterproof breathable membrane that underwent rigorous testing. While conventional “waterproof” shoes typically withstand around 600 steps in water before leaking, ArcticEdge endured an incredible 39,000 steps — over 11 hours of continuous exposure — without a single drop inside.

For additional protection, you can easily enhance waterproofing with Be Lenka’s impregnation spray, ensuring your shoes remain dry in even harsher conditions.

Reapply waterproof spray regularly during the season to maintain full protection against moisture.

Warmth that lasts down to -30 °C

Say goodbye to frozen toes. ArcticEdge barefoot shoes feature a 2-component sole engineered to insulate your feet from the cold ground. Inside, the Primaloft® lining provides exceptional thermal insulation while remaining lightweight and breathable. Combined additional warming materials are the shoes keeping your feet warm even at -30 °C, as confirmed by independent laboratory tests.

Unlike bulky winter boots, ArcticEdge lets your feet breathe and move freely. Their anatomical shape ensures optimal circulation, so your feet stay warm without sweating — even during temperature changes or longer walks.

Stability, durability, and timeless design

Winter is beautiful but unpredictable — and that’s exactly what ArcticEdge is built for.

• ThermoGrip Neo sole: Engineered for stability and excellent traction on wet surfaces.
• Flexible barefoot sole: Promotes natural movement while maintaining control and balance.
• Reinforced toe cap: Protects from scuffs and extends shoe life.
• Wide toe box: Keeps toes free and relaxed, even in thicker socks.

Visually, ArcticEdge combines function and style. Available in elegant beige and classic black with matching or contrasting soles, they’re versatile enough for city commutes, weekend hikes, or winter getaways.

Why ArcticEdge is your ultimate winter barefoot shoe

• 100 % waterproof membrane keeps your feet dry through snow, slush, and rain.

How to care for your ArcticEdge shoes

To ensure your shoes stay functional and stylish all winter long:

1. Clean after every use — remove dirt and salt with a damp cloth.
2. Dry naturally — avoid heaters or radiators to prevent material damage.
3. Reapply waterproof spray monthly during heavy winter use.
4. Remove insoles after wear to let them air out.
5. Store clean and dry at room temperature after the season ends.

Following these steps will preserve your shoes’ membrane, insulation, and shape for years to come.

Whether you’re trudging through snow-covered streets or heading on a mountain adventure, Be Lenka ArcticEdge barefoot shoes give you warmth, stability, and unmatched protection. Designed for true barefoot comfort in extreme cold, they’ll carry you confidently through winter — and well into spring.
