Why choose Notace Michi 1 barefoot running and training shoes at Cacles Barefoot?
-
Next-generation eTPU midsole: Offers exceptional lightness with a soft, highly responsive feel, providing ideal energy return for high-impact activities without disconnecting the foot from the ground.
-
Versatile sole design for running and gym:
-
Multidirectional traction pattern: Designed to provide optimal grip during road running sessions, gym treadmills, and quick changes of direction.
-
Reinforced contact zones: Increase durability against pavement abrasion and improve lateral stability during strength exercises.
-
Ultra-light feather construction (185 g): Weight reduced to just 185 g (6.5 oz) in men's US size 9 (and 150 g / 5.3 oz in women's US size 8) to minimize fatigue during the most demanding workouts.
-
High-ventilation breathable mesh upper: Crafted with a high-permeability technical fabric that keeps the foot cool, dry, and comfortable during prolonged exercise sessions.
-
Secure anatomical fit: Dynamic lacing system that firmly secures the midfoot, preventing internal shifting without compressing the metatarsal area.
-
Multi-tasking and all-terrain use: Designed specifically for road running, cross-training, weightlifting, group classes, walking, or active daily use.
Benefits of the Notace barefoot design
-
Zero Drop platform (0 mm): No difference in height between the heel and the toe to encourage natural body alignment, reducing joint impact and improving posture.
-
Foot-shaped Toe Box: Allows for free toe splay and expansion for a broader base of support, biomechanical balance, and power during toe-off.
-
Low-profile and flexible sole (12 mm Stack Height): Total sole height of 12 mm that offers the perfect combination of plantar protection on hard asphalt and the flexibility needed for natural foot movement.

Cleaning and maintenance tips
-
Post-workout cleaning: Remove accumulated dust by using a soft-bristled brush or a cloth lightly dampened with warm water and mild soap.
-
Air drying: Let them dry naturally in a well-ventilated, shaded area. Do not use dryers or expose them directly to heat sources like radiators or heaters.
-
Structural maintenance: It is recommended to avoid machine washing to keep the eTPU midsole structure, rubber sole grip, and mesh upper shape intact.
