Why Tadeevo?
We follow a strict definition of minimalist shoes based on scientific research:
"Footwear providing minimal interference with the natural movement of the foot due to its high flexibility, low heel-to-toe drop, low weight and stack height, and the absence of motion control and stability devices".
Thanks to the cooperation of scientists and traditional craftsmen we produced Tadeevo shoes which display all those unique properties.
We approach the question of flexibility very rigidly. After months of testing of various shoe constructions and materials, we can assert (without any false modesty) that our Tadeevos are probably the most flexible minimalist shoes.
Tadeevo minimalist shoes have ultimate high flexibility in both axes (torsion and bending).
Zero means literally "0". There is exactly zero heel-to-toe drop.
The sole is flexible and thin. 5 mm durable stack is just enough to protect your foot from "residual anthropogenic elements of the ground" (glass or sharp metal to put it simply).
Yes – rather than designing shoes in the shape of an intercontinental missile we went for the natural shape and likeness of the human foot. There is enough wide space for your toes.
Your foot needs to breath. The upper sole of the Tadeevo is made of durable breathable mesh.
Moreover shoes are lightweight - the weight of one shoe is 170 grams (6 oz).
Tadeevo shoes have no artificial system of stabilization. It also allows us to keep simple minimalistic design.
How to choose a correct size?
We recommend choosing your usual shoe size. If you're unsure, please refer to our size chart.
- Stand on a piece of paper
- Trace an outline of your toes and heel
- Measure the length of your foot
- Tadeevo shoes are designed to be very soft. If they feel slightly long or loose, that’s a sign of the correct fit.
