The iGUANEYE Jungle provides ultra-minimal foot protection. It acts like a second skin and follows all your movements. A piece of Ultraflex elastomer only wraps around your big toe and your heel. By doing so, it secures a thick ergonomic sole under your feet and just like magic : IT HOLDS ! Light soles are made of EVA foam. Incredibly light and water-proof, they are also soft and super comfortable. The Light version has the advantage to follow you even in water or when weather is rainy.
History:
“Amazon Indians used to dipped their feet in the latex from hevea tree and smoked them in a fire to coagulate the first rubber sneakers...”
This quote is picked from the book “The Romance of Rubber” published by the United States Rubber Company. Long before the discovery of America by the Europeans, rubber was already used by Indians to waterproof clothes or to make unbreakable gummy bottles and, of course, to make shoes. The first explorers were amazed by this new substance and its infinite application. In 1745 the French scientist LaCondamine is the first to refer to the “cahuchu”.
Fit:
Can you run when you wear flip-flops? Because they are not ergonomic, they hamper your movements instead of giving you the freedom you would expect.
The shape of the Freshoes has been created to perfectly conform to the contours of your feet. The anatomic form has been custom-made and provides a supportive, secure and extremely comfortable fit. Unlike flip-flops, the piece that parts the toes is placed 1 cm ahead ensuring irritation-free wear. Just like a second-skin, the Freshoes perfectly follows all your movements.
The advanced elastomer used for the main part is neutral, hypoallergenic, soft and very flexible. It is also 100% recyclable.
