Clean off loose dirt right after use with a damp cloth or sponge.
If your feet sweat in the shoes, let the shoes air out well after use. Take out the removable insole if there is one. Open the shoe as much as possible and let it dry before the next use.
If the shoes get wet on the inside, take out the removable insole and open the shoe as much as possible. This helps air move inside the shoe.
It is also good to give the shoes “rest days” so they can dry and air out fully.
Store the shoes upright, at room temperature, and away from UV light.

There are very few barriers to using barefoot shoes.
However, such barriers include functional or structural disorders of the feet or lower limbs. For example, hallux rigidus, or stiff big toe, where the big toe joint does not bend easily or at all upwards during the push-off phase of the step – which is a requirement for the natural roll of the step.
Similarly, any surgical operations where joints are fused – that is, their movement is restricted or completely prevented – pose challenges for the smooth use of barefoot shoes and the benefits they provide.
Loss of sensation in the soles of the feet (neuropathy) due to diabetes or nerve damage can also be considered a contraindication for using barefoot shoes, as you may injure your feet without noticing through the thin sole of the shoe.
If you have painful osteoarthritis or an active inflammatory phase of rheumatoid arthritis, it is advisable to reconsider using barefoot shoes until the condition improves.
If necessary, consult a physiotherapist or podiatrist who is knowledgeable about this matter. Remember to tell them that you want to transition to using barefoot shoes and ask how they can assist you in this project.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 271 reviews.
These are lovely – why didn’t I buy them straight away in the spring? I haven’t worn any others since I got them. They go well with trousers, skirts and shorts. They slip on easily, even with socks on.
They’re wonderfully light, roomy and easy to slip on – I can highly recommend them.
I’ve already bought several pairs of shoes and haven’t been disappointed with a single one.
The best shoes I own. I worked as a kitchen assistant at a confirmation party for six hours and my feet didn’t get tired at all. They also go very well with a party dress.
I’ve been thinking about buying barefoot shoes for a long time, as I have bunions and all sorts of other problems with my feet. I’ve now decided to order a pair, as I can return them if they don’t feel right. Well, it turns out I didn’t need to return them. I’ve enjoyed them from the very first moment. How can shoes feel this good? Or actually, you can’t even feel them at all. I’ll definitely be ordering another pair, and perhaps some different ones for the winter.
Thank you a thousand times. Walking no longer hurts – it’s a pleasure.
I’ve been wearing them as work boots in nursing for a week now, and I can highly recommend them. They feel great on my feet and I can easily wear them for the whole shift. They look nice too.
I bought size 42; I usually wear sizes 41.5–42.
They’re really light on my feet, and I can’t feel any small stones through the sole. Having worn them for a while now, I’ve realised that I can walk barefoot outside again.
I’ve had surgery on one foot (including a bunion) and was worried that foot wouldn’t like these, but quite the opposite! I should have bought barefoot shoes ages ago.
On top of everything, they look just like normal shoes when you’re wearing them. Thank you – I’ve found my new favourite shoes ❤️
This is my first experience with these shoes; I’ve been wearing them for a few weeks now and I’ve found that they’re really comfortable on my feet. I like them and will definitely keep wearing them.
My feet are really troublesome. I have large bunions and my toes even overlap slightly. At first I was a bit worried because the shoes seemed a bit too tight. Luckily, the fabric gives just enough that I’ve been able to wear them for a whole working day. They’ve turned out to be a great fit.❤️
I bought these as work shoes. They’re so soft on the feet, just like socks. They’ve got a grippy, non-slip sole. My feet feel like they’re ‘resting’ in these, even when I’m on my feet all day at work. I’ll probably have to order another pair just in case the range ever runs out. I’d recommend them to absolutely anyone who wants shoes that look good and feel great on your feet.
I bought the ones with laces last summer, and I got these a week ago. I’ve been wearing them every day. It’s hard to choose which pair to wear – they’re both brilliant👍
You can test the shoes indoors for 90 days. Returns are free, so you can order risk-free and with peace of mind. If you're not completely satisfied, simply return them within 90 days for a full refund. No questions asked.

Barefoot shoes have been around for years and are based on principles of natural movement and foot health. They are not just a trend; they are a step towards healthier footwear choices.
Our barefoot shoes are made from high-quality materials and designed for use in various environments. They are durable, but it’s important to remember that all shoes are consumable items. Barefoot shoes naturally have thinner soles compared to traditional thick-soled shoes. The durability of the soles can vary depending on the level of activity, the environment, and your walking style.
While athletes and outdoor enthusiasts use barefoot shoes for their features, they are suitable for anyone looking for comfort and the benefits of natural movement.
Many people with foot problems have found relief with barefoot shoes because they improve foot functionality. However, it’s wise to consult a healthcare professional before making a change if you are unsure.
Barefoot shoes do not provide any support because their purpose is to allow the foot muscles to work while moving. Supported shoes weaken the foot muscles because they don’t get to do their job.
Our customers have reported numerous benefits from using our barefoot shoes, such as:
