FAQ

About barefoot shoes

What is a barefoot shoe?

A barefoot shoe is designed to let your foot move as naturally as possible. That means a wide, foot-shaped toe box, a zero-drop sole (no raised heel) and a thin, flexible sole that lets you feel the ground.

What does "zero drop" mean?

The heel and the front of your foot sit at the same height. Most conventional trainers raise the heel by 8–12 mm; zero drop keeps you level, like standing barefoot.

I've never worn barefoot shoes. How should I start?

Take it gradually. Your feet and calves will be working in new ways, so start by wearing them for an hour or two a day and build up over a few weeks. Begin with walking before running or long hikes. Read our transition guide for more tips. If you have a foot condition or injury, check with a healthcare professional first.

Can I wear them for running, hiking or the gym?

Yes. Our shoes are made for everyday walking, and the grippy outsoles handle trails, park runs and gym sessions too. Use the "Shop by Activity" filters to find the right pair.

Sizing & fit

How do I find my size?

Measure your foot length in centimetres and check our Size Guide. If you're between sizes, size up. Barefoot shoes should leave a little space in front of your longest toe.

Are your shoes unisex?

Yes. Our styles are designed to fit all feet and are sold in EU sizing. Shop by Men's, Women's or Unisex to see the size ranges available.

Care

How do I clean my shoes?

Brush off dried mud, then wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove the insole and let the shoes air-dry away from direct heat. Please don't put them in the washing machine or tumble dryer.
