Jinga trainers have arrived straight from Brazil as the little flag on the trainers would suggest! These lightweight, comfy shoes are available in a rainbow of colours bringing the carnival spirit of Rio to your feet.

Jinga have earned a firm fanbase since their arrival to the UK in 2006 by being part of the barefooting trend that is sweeping the nation. Barefooting is when nothing is worn on the feet, however Jinga is a barefooting trainer which means that you can enjoy the feelings and benefits of going barefoot while having the added protection of wearing a shoe.

Information on the Technology of Jinga

To create a barefooting trainer Jinga have paired an ultra light upper with a light sole that is slim enough to create the same sensations as going barefoot. Jinga trainers were initially worn for capoeira, a african-brazilian dance which mixes dancing and martial arts, Jinga therefore had to be lightweight so as not to impede movement.

Each Jinga trainer is hand made in Brazil using synthetic materials making them suitable for vegans. In addition to this at least 5% of the profits from each pair of Jinga trainers goes straight to helping charity projects in Rio’s poorest shanty towns. So Jinga trainers really are perfect for the ethically conscious!
