Barefoot insoles made of vegetable-tanned leather
Our high-quality barefoot insoles with a top made of vegetable-tanned natural leather and a bottom made of felt offer a sustainable solution for those who value comfort, durability, and natural materials.
The top consists of vegetable-tanned, uncoated leather, which is particularly soft, breathable, and skin-friendly. By avoiding chrome and synthetic coatings, the leather remains completely breathable – for a pleasant foot climate and a barefoot-like walking experience. The leather is IVN-certified, biodegradable and particularly suitable for sensitive feet.
The back of the sole consists of felt – perfect for everyday use in barefoot shoes. The felt keeps the sole in place and ensures a comfortable fit without adding bulk.
Our insoles are also ideal for hygienically and comfortably passing on well-maintained shoes – for example, to younger siblings. This allows you to use your favorite shoes for longer and sustainably extend their life cycle.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Upper: 100% natural leather – breathable & skin-friendly
- Bottom: soft felt material for optimal cushioning & comfort
- Ideal as a hygienic freshness kick for passed on shoes
- Fits all our barefoot street shoes that have a replaceable insole (not for the soft leather shoes "Summer", "Ballerina", "Uni" or "Linda")
- Can also be used regardless of brand, in which case please check the inner sole length.
- Supports sustainable consumption by extending shoe life
Simply swap them out – and revive your favorite shoes!

Fit of children's shoes
The human foot takes approximately 18 years to fully develop. Of course, it grows fastest in the beginning. Therefore, you parents should check the fit of your children's shoes every 3-4 months. For POLOLO street shoes, we have always developed removable soles - as far as this was possible for the respective style. On the one hand, you can easily replace a sole (e.g. add a wool sole for the winter) and you can use it to measure the foot length and fit very well. If the imprint of the big toe is already dangerously far forward, then your child has already grown again and is due for the next shoe size. Our soles are all very flexible, especially our Barefoot collection.
POLOLO pursues the highest ecological standards
When producing our POLOLOs in Spain, we pay great attention to ecological, pollutant-free materials and workmanship throughout the entire production chain. We only use German natural leather that is vegetable tanned and certified, organic quality cotton (organic / kbA) and wool from controlled organic animal husbandry (organic / kbT). POLOLOs are allergy-friendly and therefore our leathers are naturally chrome-free.
