Simple, organic form shoes with focus on comfort, quality and durability. The shoes should be snug (but not tight) when they are new, leaving your feet to do the final stretching for a custom fit. The Janie shoes are based on the shape of a Chinese dance slipper with rounded toe and adjustable ankle strap with brass buckle. Finished with flexible grooved Vibram soles. Made by artisans in rural, upstate New York town of Aurora.
