What is this project all about?

Do you know the hassle of adjusting the straps on your sandal? Thanks to the innovative twist closure, the AVO's can be put on in no time. Slip on - turn - go. This makes handling easier than ever before.

The sandals are based on the barefoot shoe concept, which is why they offer your feet optimal freedom of mobility. Your feet, but also your body, don't have to fit into the shoe design anymore. The uniformly flat sole (zero drop) brings the body back into balance, releasing muscular tension and correcting bad posture. The knee joints and hips are relieved and the calf and foot region will be trained. This allows you to build a healthy and stable foundation for your body.

AVO constructs its shoes modularly, which means that components can be changed and replaced when necessary in the future. This means that the sole, for example, can be replaced if it has worn out. This also applies to all other components. This keeps our sandals in use for a long time and thus helps to prevent the problem of waste.

The choice of materials is ideally suited to the intended use. In order to offer good performance, our soles have a 3-layer construction. The natural footbed and 100% wool upper feels comfortable and soft on the skin. Wool is also naturally anti-bacterial and won't start to smell. The soft, seamless heel strap is also extremely abrasion-resistant to ensure long-lasting durability.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Are you looking for a healthy alternative to conventional footwear?
You don't want to feel the need to finally take off your shoes anymore?
Do you want to have the feeling of walking barefoot in everyday life?
Do you want to train your calf and foot muscles while daily walking?
Are you looking for a travel companion you can wear comfortably to the beach, but also on long city trips?

Then we definitely have the right thing for you. :) Whether you are an athlete, fitness junkie, mountain goat, globetrotter, barefoot nerd, etc., the areas of application are diverse. Everyone can have fun with the AVO's and benefit from their advantages.

Why would you support this project?

AVO is a young, dynamic company with a modern and contemporary approach. It is important to us that our product fulfils a purpose. It should have a certain added value for the user and the environment.

An example: A modular approach can hardly be found in the shoe industry. That's why most shoes end up in the waste bin, even though most of the shoe components would still be OK. But not so with your AVO's.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

With your support we can finance the serial production of the developed prototype. Our partners are already in the starting gate and are looking forward to producing your sandal.

Who are the people behind the project?

AVO is a registered company specialising in footwear with added health - and environmental value. We are: Christoph, with years of know-how in product development and prototyping, together with a motivated and professional partner network in the background.

The sandals are our own development. We work closely with local companies. The series models will be manufactured by a renowned family business in Portugal.
