NOPPE 78 · HEINRICH BERKEMANN

Walking you can feel.

Developed in 1978, the Noppe combines the original wooden footbed with a distinctive massage surface. Every step creates a direct, activating sensation beneath the foot.

THE NOPPE EFFECT

Movement begins beneath your feet.

  1. 01

    A noticeable massage sensation

    The flexible nubs apply changing pressure to the sole as you walk—similar to the sensation of walking barefoot over small pebbles.

  2. 02

    Active foot movement

    The textured surface invites the foot and toes to respond with every step and encourages conscious, dynamic walking.

  3. 03

    A sensation that becomes familiar

    The intensity can feel unusual at first. Short wearing intervals allow the feet to become accustomed to the distinctive surface gradually.

AN ICON SINCE 1978

From foot gymnastics to a design original.

The Noppe is a development of the famous exercise sandal created with foot orthopaedist Professor Thomsen. Its wooden sole, massage surface and clean proportions form a functional object with an unmistakable character.
