Barefoot shoes
Barefoot shoes are extremely foot-friendly, allowing you to walk almost as if you were barefoot. This is not just another passing trend taking over the world - there’s a deeper reason behind the growing popularity of these shoes.
Humans, like animals, were created to walk barefoot. Over the centuries, however, walking barefoot has been replaced by wearing shoes. Barefoot shoes allows us to walk the way nature intended. These shoes feature a wide toe box and a thin sole to keep your feet - and therefore your whole body - in a natural position.
Barefoot shoes are suitable for everyone and offers several advantages over conventional shoes.
Benefits of barefoot shoes
- Barefoot shoes are characterised by a spacious toe box that gives your toes plenty of room to move freely without being unnaturally squeezed together. Conventional shoes, to a greater or lesser extent, compress the toes, which can lead to various health issues such as bunions, ingrown toenails, and even back pain. The best example of toe-unfriendly shoes, in our opinion, are women’s high heels - where the toes are already in an uncomfortable position and the body’s entire weight presses down on them. That’s one reason why you won’t find high-heeled shoes in our collection :) Foot health and natural foot development are very important to us.
- In barefoot shoes, body weight is distributed evenly across the foot since the heel and toes are always at the same height. This ensures a natural posture and gives the wearer a balanced, upright stance.
- Barefoot shoes are delightfully lightweight, making you feel as if you’re walking barefoot. Thanks to their low weight, they reduce the strain on both feet and joints.
- The soles of barefoot shoes are extremely flexible, allowing the foot to move naturally and follow its full range of motion.
- Barefoot shoes stay securely on the foot - you could even say that good barefoot shoes feel like an extension of your feet, perfectly fitted and firmly held in place.
Our imaginative designers and skilled artisans have combined these advantages with feedback from our customers to create a range of fantastic products that bring joy to both children and adults alike.
Barefoot gym slippers
When creating our barefoot gym slippers, we listened closely to the wishes of the barefoot community. The result is a pair of soft, spacious slippers with a generous toe box that gives toes plenty of room. They don’t squeeze the toes together, and thanks to the elastic sewn all around the upper, they stay comfortably and securely on the foot.
Our barefoot gym slippers are handmade by our skilled artisans using classic smooth black and white leather, as well as soft velour in various colours that feels pleasant on the foot. The outer sole is also made of velour, ensuring an extra soft step.
Our barefoot gym slippers are a new and special product that continues to be refined - with feedback from wearers helping us create the best barefoot gym slippers in the world.

At the moment, our cheerful designers and talented artisans have created barefoot shoes only for the smallest members of the family - but who knows, perhaps in time something for adults will join the collection too :)
Insoles for barefoot shoes
All barefoot shoes have a wider toe shape than conventional shoes, which tend to squeeze the toes more or less together. Due to this wider shape, ordinary insoles made for regular shoes don’t fit barefoot shoes well.
But there’s no need to worry - our product range includes around ten different insoles designed specifically for wider and barefoot shoes. Genuine sheepskin, natural felt, and three-layer wool-topped insoles are just a small part of our wide selection. One thing’s for sure - you’ll find the perfect insoles for your barefoot shoes here. They follow your foot’s natural shape, help keep your shoes fresh for longer, and provide warmth even in shoes with thin soles.
The world of barefoot shoes is truly fascinating, and we’re proud to be part of it with our growing product range. Keep an eye on our latest creations - these certainly won’t be our last barefoot products ;)
By the way, barefoot shoes do have one little downside - wearing them can be highly addictive :) Once you’ve experienced barefoot shoes, you may never want to go back to regular ones again.
