About barefoot shoes
What is the DNA of a barefoot shoe?
Barefoot shoe vs. conventional shoe
What makes our shoes special:
We are consistent in only offering shoes that best meet the benefits of walking barefoot and promote natural walking. The following features are very important to us:
-
Thin, puncture-resistant sole without drop (3-6mm depending on model)
-
No cushioning and arch support in the sole to promote the dynamic foot and the body's own cushioning system.
-
Spacious toe box for toe freedom and enough room when walking.
-
Flexible construction to ensure that the foot does not restrict its movement anywhere.
Depending on the application, the soles are of varying thickness. For example, hiking or winter boots have 3-5mm studs on the 3mm thin sole and are still very flexible.
Even older people whose muscle loss is already at an advanced stage can find the right shoe with us.
We also pay attention to sustainable and natural materials and socially just working conditions in the factories.
In general, when wearing barefoot shoes for the first time, we recommend models with the thinnest sole so that you can more easily find your way into natural walking. can be found in our entry-level models .

Sports activities with barefoot shoes
It is advisable to get your feet used to barefoot shoes before you start exercising in them. Your big toe is the last thing to touch the ground. It is also important to take smaller steps than you are used to. There is no time limit to reach the motor milestones, as everyone adapts at a different speed. Consciously take one step at a time and feel the rolling of your feet from the heel to the big toe. Over time, your natural gait in everyday life will become automated.
