Kobenhavn XL
Duckfeet in Denmark have been making shoes by hand for over forty years. Duckfeet are simple and functional, typical of mid-20th century Danish design. Duckfeet’s foot-formed design allows room for the toes to spread naturally as you walk, and for air to reach the feet. Leather midsoles and uppers breathe and transport moisture away from the foot. We use leather because it’s strong and long-lasting, but also flexible – allowing the shoe to move with and mould to your individual foot shape.
No two pairs of Duckfeet are exactly alike. Every pair of shoes is treated individually during production, the natural tanning and processing by hand allows for subtle variations in the leather. These variations are highlighted by the particular way you wear them, which imbues each shoe with personality, your story, for your life.
Kobenhavn XL features premium full grain, double stitched and reinforced 100% leather uppers, insole, and leather midsole. Our non-toxic, vegetable tanned leather is manufactured according to strict environmental standards. It is drum dyed using high quality, non-toxic dyes and specially treated to be water and dirt repellant. Using traditional European Veldtschoen construction the upper is built up by hand over a flat last then the midsole is double stitched to our 100% natural crepe rubber outsole. Every pair of Duckfeet comes into contact with many experienced hands before they are placed in their box and fitted to your feet.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE
Before ordering shoes, we recommend you measure the length of your feet to find the right size. Our chart may help you, but does not guarantee that the shoes fit.
To ascertain your measurement, stand on a ruler against a wall. Your measurement should include the entire length of your foot, measured from heel to longest toe.
Please measure both feet, and choose your size based on the largest measurement.
If your foot length equals the maximum on any of the measurements, please choose the next size up.
Boots with wool lining might need to be ordered in the next size up to accommodate the wool.

Caring for your leather Leather is skin, and skin needs care. We recommend that you apply a thin layer of leather conditioner or shoe cream at regular intervals. Don’t use too much at one time. It’s better to use a little less a bit more often. Let the shoe cream sit a few minutes and polish afterwards with a soft cloth. Use a shoehorn when you put your shoes on – they are easier to get on and the back will not be destroyed. Untie or unzip the shoes or boots completely when you remove them – so they are easier to pull off. It’s better for the shoes than trampling on them! If you care for your shoes regularly, you will enjoy them longer. Your shoes will be grateful for it. |
 |
If your shoes get wet Store your shoes in a dry and airy place. If your shoes become wet, fill them with crumpled newspaper and let them air-dry. When they are completely dried, you can again apply leather conditioner or shoe cream. Leather shoes should not be dried on a radiator – the leather becomes dried out and porous. If the leather gets water stains, take a cloth and make the whole shoe slightly damp. Treat the leather afterwards as described above. It is best to change your shoes daily. Give your Duckfeet a day’s rest, so they can release the foot’s moisture and dry thoroughly. |
 |
If your shoe get dirty If the shoes get dirty, clean them with a damp cloth. Let the shoes dry thoroughly and treat the leather again with shoe cream or leather conditioner. Be attentive to edges and seams, which should also be treated to maintain the leather and protect your shoes against water. |
 |
Caring for crepe rubber Crepe rubber soles can become hard at low temperatures, but this can be avoided by storing the shoes at a temperature between 20-25C. If the soles become hard, you can place the shoes on a warm radiator, until the crepe rubber is soft again. Avoid contact with solvents. The rubber cannot tolerate it and can dissolve. |

Let customers speak for us
This is my 3rd pair of Faborgs. I love them due to their craftsmanship, comfort and beautiful colours! Most comfy boots EVER! 100% recommend
Really happy with the Vivo Barefoot Magna Light. The give the barefoot feel with great grip and fit around the ankles. The fit a broader foot and feel really comfortable. Love them!
I love the green colour and lilac lining. Its the perfect size, beaitifil strap and hardware and I can put glasses in a pocket so do t need a case for them and I can find them first dig!
On a recent trip to Melbourne we visited your store to get a feel for barefoot shoes and to see what all the fuss was about. We received wonderful service and got to try on a number of pairs to find the right fit and style. My partner and I were so impressed we walked away with a pair each and a good recommendation for strong coffee nearby. After that, I returned to the store to buy a second pair before heading home. Two weeks have passed and I haven't taken my barefoot/natural shoes off. My back pain has gone, as has my bunion pain. I work in events management and my feet often ache. My toes have started to straighten and find the ground in a whole new way. The sensations are returning to my feet and I cannot see myself wearing standard shoes any more. My partner and I are looking forward to expanding our collection and we can't thank you enough for your expert advice, professional service and amazing products. We highly recommend you to our family and friends now. Do yourself a favour if you're reading this review and free your toes today!!
It’s so surprising how something so minimal and thin becomes one of the most comfortable shoes I own. Really makes me realise that less is more, and natural is the way forward. I am using it for strength training and walking — it’s been about a month and it’s holding up well so far. My only wish is that they make these shoes more affordable!
Love my new Vivobarefoot shoes, they are the weatherproof edition so I can’t wait to try them in the wet weather. So comfy for every day too.
I was impressed with how quickly they were shipped out and updated along the way with tracking updates. Thank you very much very happy!

I've been thrashing my Duckfeet for over two months now. On footpaths, roads, and hiking trails, beaches, ice and snow...and they just continue to satisfy. No matter if the temps are -19º or 17º they keep my feet so dry and warm.
These babies have been on my feet almost constantly the last few weeks. They’ve climbed mountains, clambered rocks and walked beaches. They’ve accompanied my feet to dinner and have walked all over cities and through beautiful towns. They’ve been deliciously warm in sub-zero temps (but not hot on the warmer days) and so incredibly comfortable. Would recommend and buy again in more colours.
Arhus duckfeet boots are stunning & comfortable, my second pair.
Love my boots ❤❤
Started using them after getting sore feet from work safety boots, they seem to have solved that issue, and in addition they lasted over 2 years with regular use, so worth the price.
Simply put these shoes are wonderful. I’m not young anymore and have unfortunate feet, bunions and hammer toes. I decided on the men’s size as advised by the store to give me more room. The leather is lovely and soft and the barefoot walking bliss. I now have 2 pairs and will probably go for a third before too long. I can highly recommend them
These boots are so comfortable I really love them
Very pleased with these boots. Good looking and comfortable. Excellent delivery service
These boots are so comfortable and look great. The perfect winter wardrobe staple!
I had a pair of Correct Toes toe spacers, but I didn't wear them very often because I found them too bulky, stiff and painful. These are soft and squishy and slim enough to fit inside shoes with a wide toe box (I wear a women's size 9). I also like that they are black and don't get dirty-looking. I love the black toe band for the same reason and am having fun doing foot exercises with it.
