01. Why do you call the Nomad 804 “barefoot” or barefoot-like?
The Kinis Nomad aims to deliver as close to a barefoot experience as possible while still offering protection and a thin slip resistant sole (see also question 06). Some people refer to the Nomad 804 as high performance sock-like footwear because looking at them from the top they resemble a sock and are just as comfortable.
02. Do you recommend the Nomad 804 for running?
No! The Nomad was designed for indoor exercises like Crossfit, Yoga, Weight Lifting, Martial Arts and to wear around the Office and even at Home. It is important that even with those activities you gradually strengthen your foot muscles and tendons after years of constrictive shoe use.
03. How long will the Nomad 804 last?
This is tricky to answer because it depends on how you use them, how often and what exercises or on what floor surfaces. For moderate use they should last a year, for intense use this may be reduced to 9-12 months. The sock itself is extremely durable made with Kinis's blend of proprietary engineered materials and Honeywell Spectra® Fiber but at some point you will wear down the rubber sole.
04. I have a foot condition or am recovering from an injury are Kinis Nomad 804 for me?
The Nomad 804 with it’s sock-like fit is super comfortable but you should consult with a medical professional for more personalized advice. The Nomad is designed to mirror the natural shape and design of your feet preserving sensory feedback (no arch support by design).
05. How does your sizing work?
Kinis offers 6 different sizes (see size chart below). The sock-like design allows for some stretch for optimum fit. It is perfectly acceptable if your toes slightly overhang the thin rubber sole provided they feel comfortable and don’t impede your intended use.
The bottom of the Nomad 804 is made of kinis's proprietary rubber, it provides excellent slip resistant protection on dry surfaces. Customers tell us they love to wear them around the house. The Nomad was designed for indoor exercise, home office, hotel room, etc. The slip performance on (water) wet or surfaces contaminated with other liquids will vary depending on the base flooring material but be we do not claim slip resistant on wet or contaminated surfaces.
07. Can I wash my Nomad 804 in a washing machine?
Yes! the Nomad can be washed separately. We do recommend air drying your Nomads, do not use a dryer as this may damage your favorite footwear.
08. What are your return policies?
If you are unhappy with your product, which we cannot imagine, please contact us for return/credit information. We only accept Nomads back in new condition and unfortunately are not able to credit shipping charges.
09.Can I wear the Nomad 804 with socks?
Yes! By wearing with socks you will be abe to feel a tighter fit and get a little extra cushions at the foot sole. Our High performace socks are designed to work seamlessly with the Nomad 804.
