UPERA Viva Training Series Gilt Black

Rooted in the exploration of primitive natural walking instinct, the Barefoot Butterfly Series redefines the bond between feet and footwear with authentic barefoot design philosophy.

Crafted with a silky-smooth mixed upper of genuine cowhide, suede, and breathable fabric, the shoe wraps feet like the second layer of skin. Paired with an ultra-flexible raw rubber outsole, it delivers unrestricted bending freedom identical to professional ballet dancers.

Ditching stiff traditional supportive structures, the shoe extends naturally with your feet to restore real barefoot ground-touch feeling without extra restraint.

PERA shoes are made with genuine leather and suede. Natural variations, creasing and changes in texture are part of the material’s character.

Leather

• Remove dust with a soft, dry cloth.
• For light marks, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth.
• Air dry naturally, away from direct heat and sunlight.
• Use a colourless leather conditioner occasionally; test it on a hidden area first.

Suede

• Brush gently with a suede brush to remove dust.
• Use a suede eraser for small marks.
• Keep suede dry. If wet, blot gently, stuff with clean paper and air dry naturally.
• Do not use leather cream, water, or heat on suede.

General Care

• Do not machine wash or soak.
• Avoid rain, prolonged sun exposure and high heat.
• Store in a cool, dry place with tissue paper or shoe trees to help maintain shape.
• Avoid contact with dark denim or other materials that may transfer colour.
