What is a barefoot shoe?

 

Barefoot footwear, also known as minimalist footwear, is based on a simple idea: giving your feet more freedom inside your shoes.

You can recognise a barefoot shoe by three key features:

  • A wide toe box: giving your toes room to spread and move naturally.
  • A thin, flexible sole: one that moves with your foot and lets you feel every step.
  • Zero drop: the heel and forefoot are at the same height.

In other words, rather than forcing your foot to fit the shape of the shoe, the shoe is designed to adapt fully to your foot’s natural movements.

 

What if our feet could rediscover their freedom?

 

For millennia, humans walked barefoot on earth, rocks and grass. Our feet evolved to do just that. Then came padded shoes, wedge heels and maximum cushioning: our feet forgot how to walk...

Barefoot shoes are designed to let your feet move more naturally, with more room for your toes, a thin, flexible sole and zero drop.

More freedom and feel with every step.

 

Our vision of barefoot trainers

 

True to our values, our barefoot trainers are handmade in Portugal in our family-run workshop using vegan and recycled materials. And because trainers you wear every day should be a pleasure to put on, we’ve refined the design to create a timeless, unisex silhouette that’s easy to style.

A pair of trainers you can finally feel completely at ease in!
