Barefoot sneaker inspired in a retro 20s-golf vibe made of Napa, with Chrome free lining, medium toe-box and Christine Bare sole.
I am Ila Napa - A timeless and retro 20s golf-inspired barefoot trainer with urban edge. Crafted in soft napa leather with leather lining, I offer elegance, breathability, and bold comfort. My barefoot silhouette features two sleek diagonal stripes and a medium toe box.
Material:
Upper Material: Napa leather
Lining: Chrome-free leather
Sole: Rubber
Insole: Not Removable
Closure: Lace-up
Flat sole: 0.5 cm
Maintenance:
To remove dirt gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the materials. Avoid exposing them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause harm to the material and create discoloration. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of them to maintain their shape and to avoid the formation of permanent creases. We suggest that after using the shoes, let them air out for a while and then put the papers back inside the shoes to keep their original shape and prolong their appearance for longer.
Love them - my second pair of this model, different colour. My feet only want to wear Koel now and that's okay because they go with almost anything!

Love the shape of these shoes! I’ve found some of my other barefoot brands have been starting to feel a little narrow in the toe box so ordered these because of the toe box shape and retro style. They didn’t disappoint. Officially my new favourite pair of shoes and so incredibly comfortable. I ordered these blue and it isn’t as bright as the stock photo depicts but I actually prefer the colour in person - more of a denim blue colour.

I'm obsessed with these! Insanely comfy, and so so cute. I think I'm only going to buy Koel shoes from now on - they're that good!
Courtney5/5Verified
Great shoes and a beautiful vibrant colour.
Jessica5/5Verified
Love these sneakers so much, I bought a second pair in white/black. Runs a little small and had to size up - normally a size 39/40, but in these I’m size 41.

The green isn't as bright as shown on the screen. But it's alright. It's comfortable. I love this brand and style. More colors please!

Amy5/5Verified
Very comfortable, my new fave causal sneaker.
H5/5Verified
Love my shoes. Super comfy and love the fit. Not to wide around my mid foot but plenty of room for my toes to sit in a natural position. Have worn them everyday since they arrived and they look perfect still.
Tina5/5Verified
True to size. I wear a size 40 in Vivobarefoot and Bohempia, and these fit perfectly. I have low-volume feet, and they fit nicely. They have good toe space without being too roomy. The heel was slightly stiff on the first day of wear, but this wasn't a problem after a few days. They offer a good in-between ground feel. Not too thin, but not too spongy. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Alix5/5Verified
I absolutely love these shoes. The toe box is wide and has plenty of room. The sole is very flexible but also durable. These look very on trend. Super comfy to wear all day long.
Katie5/5Verified
I have been looking for a pair of blue trainers for casual wear for some time and so was delighted to see these advertised. They look good with my jeans and wide leg track pants. Most importantly they don’t squash my toes but don’t look super wide either. I am going to get another colour soon.
Margaret5/5Verified
So comfy - roomy across the toe yet nice and snug around the heel and ankle. They seem really well constructed - great quality. Have worn them hiking and to work. The sole is grippy but also easy to clean. I love the look of them and went back for a second colourway!
Jane5/5Verified
Beautifully made with full leather lining. Super comfortable. Just the right amount of padding, still able to feel the ground without any discomfort.
Sophie5/5Verified
Nice shoes everyone asking me where there from and they don’t believe that they are barefoot shoes. Amazing shoe I love it !
Tilli5/5Verified
Great looking shoe with a great fit.
Leeann5/5Verified

Erin5/5Verified
Love the design and the fit is perfect. My feet are very comfortable in its natural position. A great product and a great buy.
Jan5/5Verified
It’s a great shoe that follows barefoot initiative. I find it really comfortable and lightweight. Perfect for every day wear and sports.
Kathy5/5Verified
These sneakers were perfect straight out of the box.
Renee5/5Verified
They fit really well, and the added toe box room has been really comfortable. Only problem would be that my old shoes hurt to wear now hahaha.
In addition, the leather has kept really well, and the shoes still look close to new after a couple months of use.
Caleb5/5Verified
These are such stylish, functional shoes, I really love them. Mine are borderline slightly too large (EU38) and I am usually a 38 but they are super comfortable still
Isabel5/5Verified
These are great. No more sore toes.
Vivienne5/5Verified
A really nicely made shoe. Leather inner and outer. A little heavy and not as flexible as some other brands. The sole is nice.
I'm between a 38 and 39 in Vivobarefoot and wear at 38.5 in Xeros. The 38 is just right in koel.
Would buy again.
Hilary5/5Verified
Enjoying Koel shoes very much. Not only they look good but also feel very comfortable. Ordering was very easy and delivery was extremely quick only a couple of days.
Will buy again for sure. Thank you for offering these shoes in Australia.

First time buying this brand, first i thought they were going to be a bit small, but I've been wearing them and I really love them now, they have softened up a bit. (sizing runs a little smaller than xero's). I love that they are barefoot but have a slightly thicker sole then some brands. I'm 61 and feel I don't won't to feel every stone, and I need a little support for my joints. So the thickness of the sole is perfect for me. Super comfy, nice design. I got into barefoot shoes 8 years ago when I started getting plantair fasciitis. Barefoots have helped heal my feet, they natural strengthen your arches by walking in them. I would buy this brand again.
Sharyn5/5Verified
These are my “dressy” sneakers. Comfortable immediately. They are a little firm across the top of my feet but I haven’t needed to take the liner out. I think they look good!
Selina5/5Verified
Very comfortable and good looking shoe.
A5/5Verified
Super comfy shoes. They are so light weight and feel so good on. They look really cool as casual shoes.
Justin5/5Verified
These shoes are excellent. Very comfortable and stylish.

4 benefits of going barefoot
Anatomic shape – toe-box offering a spacious place for toes in movement, it copies the shape of a foot.
Zero-drop – Zero difference between a heel and the toes. It improves weight distribution and body posture
Flexibility – ultra-flexible sole of 4 mm thickness allows feet and nerve endings to be stimulated by the surface they walk on. It imitates walking with no shoes on and it naturally massages the feet.
Lightness – Be Lenka barefoot are light and with no arch support. They strengthen the foot naturally and make it work properly.
Love them - my second pair of this model, different colour. My feet only want to wear Koel now and that's okay because they go with almost anything!
