Angles and Rayve are two footwear brands founded by the same company. Angles was established in 2016 in Zlín, Czech Republic, a city with a long tradition of shoemaking, but today both Angles and Rayve shoes are manufactured in Portugal. Rayve is a newer brand created to offer urban barefoot shoes such as sneakers, something the company felt was missing from the market. The idea behind the shoes is to combine classic sneaker style with barefoot features such as lightweight construction, a roomy toe box, flexible sole, and zero drop design, providing comfort throughout the day.
