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 .

First Steps in Everyday Life

Put your heel on the ground with little pressure and roll your foot over the outside. Your big toe is the last to touch the ground. It is also important to take smaller steps than you are used to. There is no time limit for reaching the motor milestones, as everyone adapts at different speeds. Consciously take one step after the other and feel the rolling of your feet from the heel to the big toe. Over time, your natural gait will become automated in everyday life.

Important:
  • foot roll
