LAUNCH UPDATE – SEPTEMBER 7
Hey everyone, quick update.
Since our last update, we’ve managed to get through the technical issues we were dealing with, but unfortunately we’ve now run into a separate issue with our new logistics setup that needs to be resolved before we can open orders.
Unfortunately, this does mean another delay, and we know that’s not the update anyone wanted to read. We’re really sorry about that. This part directly affects the service we’re able to give you once orders start coming in, so it’s important that we get it right before opening.
For now, we don’t have a new opening date to share, but we’ll keep you updated here as things move forward.
And as we mentioned before, the full collection will stay online to browse in the meantime.
Thanks again for all the support and understanding. It really means a lot to us.
AUGUST 31 UPDATE
We had hoped to confirm a new opening date today, but the technical issues identified during our final launch checks on August 27 are taking longer to resolve than expected.
We’re continuing to work through everything carefully, and we won’t announce another date until we’re confident we can meet it.
We’ll keep this page updated as things progress. We know many of you are waiting, and we’re so grateful for all your messages and support. We’re replying as quickly as we can, although responses may take a little longer than usual while we stay focused on getting everything ready to open properly.
The website will stay open in the meantime, so you can browse the full collection, check the new size guides and find your pair. Until orders officially open, you’ll see “Coming Soon” instead of the Add to Cart button.
The 10% launch discount is still happening too, and will be available for the first few days after we open. We’ll confirm the exact dates together with the launch date.
We really hope you love the collection. There’s been a huge amount of work behind every pair, and we can’t wait for you to finally try them for yourselves.
Thank you for all the patience, support and messages over the last few days.
Got questions? Keep scrolling, we’ve added a quick FAQ below with the things you’ve been asking us most.
We've already discussed this in more detail in other posts, but to summarize: we've developed our own outsole and taken the opportunity to improve the shoe's overall construction.
The measurements are practically the same, although we've added about 3 mm of width in the midfoot area and a little more volume in the instep to provide a bit more room and improve the overall fit.
The new outsole is also slightly more flexible than the previous one. During its development, we sought to find the best possible balance between flexibility and durability: we could have made it even more flexible, but that would have reduced its resistance to wear and tear. So we found a balance that improves flexibility while maintaining good resistance to wear.
As with every new production run, we've also refined small details both inside and out to continue improving the quality, fit, and overall feel.
The measurements are also very similar to the previous ones, differing by only a few millimeters.
The new MC5 V2 is lighter and more flexible. We’ve modified the construction and some of the sole’s contours to provide a more natural walking experience.
For the new MC5 V2 line, we’ve also updated our leather selection, choosing a leather that offers a better balance between the natural look and feel we love and the demands of everyday wear.
The measurements are very similar to the previous ones and, in most cases, differ by only a few millimeters.
If you already own a Dolfie from our Barefoot New Era line and your current size fits you well, your size will most likely remain the same.
Even so, the new insoles have different thicknesses, and the fit may feel slightly different, so we recommend checking the new size guide before making your selection.
The new models include two insoles - one 2 mm thick and the other 6 mm thick - instead of the previous 3 mm and 8 mm options.
And if you miss the feel of the 8 mm insole, you can use the two new insoles together. This also gives more options to those who prefer a little less volume inside the shoe.
Along with our new size guides, we’re also launching a new tool: “Find Your Size.”
Just enter the requested measurements as accurately as possible, and it will recommend the best size for you.
We’ve built it using all the actual information on measurements, adjustments, and sizes that we've collected over the past year.
And if you still have questions, feel free to reach out to us.
For now, we don’t have plans to restock the previous colours and versions currently listed as sold out.
That doesn't mean similar colors or combinations won't return in the future. We'll continue to develop new colors and versions, but for now we don't have a restock date for those specific models.
For those of you who are waiting for the Heritage line, we'd like to ask for just a little more patience.
Some restocks and new colours will be available toward the end of September. As each pair is handcrafted, we need a little more time to get everything ready the way we want it.
See you soon!
