ABOUT US

AYLLA is a CZECH HANDCRAFTED BAREFOOT BRAND which decided to redefine what “a normal shoe” means. AYLLA comes from the language of the Incas and means community, an extended family sharing work and property and that is how it started. Between friends and family when the shoe market was missing casual shoes respecting the foot shape, ensuring enough space for the feet and at the same time drawing your attention with the fresh minimalistic design, offering multipurpose wear.

AYLLA SHOES will support you wherever you go. Their flexible, thin and resistant sole indulges close contact with the surface and ensures a perfect fit both for the terrain as well as into the office. Thanks to the natural materials and a nanofiber lining used, AYLLA SHOES breathe. 

The entire shoe is produced in the CZECH REPUBLIC and SLOVAKIA. We collect the leather in a Czech tannery where the cows come from free pastures as well as from other EU countries such as Italy and Spain. Using leather is essentially waste processing and we are happy that at least for some of it we can find a further use. High quality of used and processed materials ensures their durability for years.

 

 

SOLEWITHSOUL STORY 


   Currently enjoying life in Vancouver, BC, a perfect place for 
   all sorts of outdoor activities.
 
As I always had interest in the human body and overall well-being I became a Master of Physiotherapy, a yoga instructor and last   but   not least a mom. These and many other roles made me realize how   important   the health of our feet is and how everything is connected together   more than we   could imagine.
I was first introduced to AYLLA BAREFOOT FOOTWEAR and ideas around it  through the climbing community and never went back to conventional shoes  again. After years of cooperation I have the honor to share my passion for this  brand in North America.
