Barefoot Shoes That Let Your Feet Move the Way They Were Made To
Stiff soles, narrow toes and raised heels squeeze your feet into a shape that is not theirs. These unisex all-round barefoot shoes do the opposite: a wide, foot-shaped toe box, a thin flexible zero-drop sole and a light, breathable upper, with a copper grounding insert in the sole. Wear them for walks, trails, travel and long days on your feet.

What ordinary shoes do to your feet
Wide toe box
Room for your toes to spread
The anatomical toe box follows the natural line of your foot. Your toes have space to spread and relax in their natural position instead of being pushed together.
People with bunions, wide or swollen feet often choose barefoot shoes for this extra room, and it gives you a more stable, balanced stance.
Freedom for your feet
Light, flexible and close to the ground
The thin, flexible sole bends with your foot and lets you feel the ground under you. That ground feel helps your balance and gives your foot muscles their natural work back.
The zero-drop sole keeps heel and toes at the same height. Many people like it because it encourages a more upright posture and a natural stride, and it is known for building stronger ankles and calves over time.
Safety and sensation in one
Thin sole, real grip
The slip-resistant sole gives you stability and a good grip on wet, muddy and rocky ground, while still keeping you in contact with the surface.
Cushioning absorbs some of the shock of each step, so you can stay out on the trail longer in comfort.
Copper grounding
A copper insert in the sole
Each sole has a small copper insert. Grounding (also called earthing) is the idea of being in direct contact with the earth, as when walking barefoot outdoors. The copper insert is made to keep that contact while you wear shoes.
Many people who enjoy grounding wear these shoes on grass, soil and forest paths as part of their daily walk.
The grounding test
Measured on the ground
This test shows a voltmeter reading body voltage in a conventional shoe and in a grounding shoe on the grass, side by side.

The difference
Shoes that fit your feet, not the other way around
Regular shoes are often built to fashion shapes: cushioned, rigid, with a toe spring and a raised heel. Barefoot shoes are wide, thin and flexible, so they allow every movement of the foot.
The idea behind them is simple: muscles work on a "use it or lose it" basis. When the shoe lets the foot do its job, it relies less on the footwear and more on strong foot and leg muscles.
Who wears them
For people who are on their feet for hours
These shoes are made for daily wear, work and outdoor trips. Hikers who walk many hours a day, people who stand at work and anyone who wants a natural feel underfoot wear them all day.
People with foot discomfort such as heel pain, plantar fasciitis, flat feet or bunions often look for wide, flexible shoes with arch support and cushioning like these. If you have a foot condition, ask your doctor or podiatrist what suits you.

Find your size
Measure your foot, then pick your size
The shoes are unisex and made in US sizes; each size in our menu also shows the EU size and the foot length in cm.
Stand on a sheet of paper, mark your heel and your longest toe and measure the distance in cm. Choose the size whose foot length matches.
If you are between sizes, have wide or swollen feet, or are unsure, take one size up. If you cannot find your half size, take the larger size.

| 23.2 | 36 | 3.5 | 6 | 4 |
| 23.8 | 37 | 4.5 | 7 | 5 |

Measure your foot from heel to longest toe and pick the size whose foot length is equal or slightly longer.
Questions people ask

Are they for men or women?
They are unisex. Use the foot length in cm to find your size.
What makes them different from regular shoes?

Where can I wear them?
