Frequently asked questions about barefoot shoes
What is a barefoot shoe? A shoe with a thin, flexible sole, a wide toe box and no drop (no height difference between heel and toes). It allows the foot to move naturally and provides a lot of ground feel.
How do I transition to barefoot shoes? It's best to do it gradually: wear them for a few hours at first and slowly increase the duration so that your feet and calves can get used to the new strain. We explain this in detail on our page "Why Barefoot Shoes?".
What size do I need? Measure your foot length while standing on both feet and compare it with the size chart of the respective model – the fit differs depending on the brand. You can find this information on each product page.
