Ocean Kiss 1st Gen

Magically. A team of 4 dedicated minds developed a modular system at the Technical University of Cologne. As a result, we got a patent-pending design, that allows you to switch between different environments in seconds.

We improved it. Our original version was super warm and quite sensitive. To make the shoe wearable in summer we made it more breathable and water repellent. That’s what we call: The Ocean Kiss.

Please check the size chart above. Our shoes run slightly large. At least in comparison to sporty sneakers. If you are in between sizes, we recommend to size down for a tighter fit.

Our set features 1 pair of Modifox Shoes and 1 pair of Modifox Outsoles. Together they are the perfect match to get you started.

Yes they are. However, please be careful when doing so. They should always be cold-washed and air-dried. The more often you wash them, the more likely the upper material will start showing signs of fatigue.

Because it’s fun. And painful. But ultimately, we wanted to test our shoes. As far as we know, nobody tried running in a modular shoe before. Before you do so, we needed to see if it works.

Technically, yes. Practically, we would not recommend it. It took us 5h and 22m. While we hear that our shoes are very comfy, they were never made for running. However, we already think about a sports version of our shoes. But until then, do your body a favour and switch to actual running shoes.

Yes. We designed Modifox to be a) easy to design and b) easy to fix. If you want to create your own style, you just select the right parts. If anything wears out, we take it back and recycle it. And if you want, you get a new part to fix your shoes.

Yes. We have a 30 free day return period. Please make sure you first test the shoes indoors. Once the shoes get dirty, it will get hard for us to take them back.

We are a young company and don’t produce in large volumes yet. This makes competitive pricing almost impossible. We try to make up for our elevated price tag with free shipping and our Easy Fix System.

Sustainable is a big word. It get’s thrown around a lot. Here is what we to operate responsibly.

1. By design, our products are easy to fix and adapt to a new design. This makes them last longer.
2. The majority of our materials are 100% recyclable. But very often nobody recycles them.
3. That’s why we recycle every shoe and every sole that is returned to us with our partners.
4. We produce locally in Portugal and only ship to EU customers with DHL GoGreen.
5. We don’t act carbon-neutral yet. Our remaining product emissions we offset with Planted.

Yes. It is our dream to offer a variety of styles for different situations. Depending on your lifestyle and taste, we want you to choose the shoe that’s best for you.

Yes and no. Our shoes are a closed system. Meaning the shoe and sole are designed together. So you cannot attach our soles to other shoes. But you can mix & match any style we offer.

They are water repellent. The scale goes water resistant (low), water repellent (medium), water proof (high). The problem with water-proof shoes is that they are not really breathable. That’s why we opted for a water repellent style. This way your feet stay dry during the rain, but you don’t get sweaty feet either.

That depends on the colour and your everyday life. While the outsole is meant to get dirty, the shoe stays relatively clean outside. If you avoid puddle holes and muddy trips through the forest, you will be fine. If they do get dirty, then wait for the shoe to dry completely and rub it off gently.

Most people say yes. Again, this is very individual. Tencel is 100% organic and known to be breathable. Inside the shoe we added a Microlining that makes for a nice feel.

Yes. Every pair of Modifox will come with our memory foam footbed. But if you want, you can easily replace them with an orthopaedic footbed. This way, you can use 1 footbed – no matter if inside or outside.

While we did not specifically design the shoes for camping, we heard from a lot of you that it is actually quite convenient. What we can say is: If Modifox keeps your home clean, why not your camper too?

We made a marine version, which is tailored for yachts and the leisure lifestyle. Some sailors use our shoes to go back and forth, but we don’t recommend them for sport or competitive racing.

Yes. If you are in France, Italy, Greece or Mallorca this should work. We currently work with 8 partners in the Mediterranean, who have Modifox in stock. You can find them here.
