Frequently Asked Questions
Most shoes are built around the shoe, not around your foot. A wider front, a flexible sole and a flat base let your foot move and work the way it is built to.
Most people notice the space first. More room around the toes, less stiffness underfoot and a lighter feel with every step.
Yes. Where a normal shoe narrows towards the front, these are cut wide and rounded, so your toes sit side by side instead of stacked.
Once you are used to them, yes. Start with an hour or two a day in the first week and build up, because your feet and calves do more work in these.
Measure your feet at the end of the day and use the longer one. If you are between sizes, go up. The full table is on our size guide.
These barefoot shoes feel incredibly natural to walk in. Plenty of room for my toes, really flexible, and much more comfortable than my usual trainers.
My new boots are so comfortable and easy to walk in. They feel light on my feet and give me plenty of room without feeling bulky.
My Jack Russell, Beagles, always wants to keep going, and now I can actually keep up with him. Longer walks feel much easier on my feet, which has made such a difference.
I wasn’t expecting such a noticeable difference. Walking feels much more natural now, especially around the toes, and I’ve already started reaching for them every day.
After a full day on my feet, I noticed they didn’t feel nearly as sore as usual. The extra space in the front makes walking feel much more relaxed and natural.
I bought these because my legs were always aching and swollen by the evening. Since wearing the compression socks during the day, that heavy, tired feeling has improved so much and I can stay on my feet far longer..
I mainly bought them for walking, but they’ve quickly become my everyday pair. My feet feel less cramped and I can stay on them much longer without discomfort.
Perfect for colder walks. They feel sturdy without being heavy, and my feet stay comfortable even when I’m out for a couple of hours.
Cold weather used to make my foot pain much worse, especially on longer walks. These orthopedic barefoot winter boots keep my feet warm while giving them enough room to move naturally, and I can walk much farther without the usual aching.
These boots feel warm, comfortable and surprisingly lightweight. Great grip too, and they’ve been really easy to wear on longer walks.

I usually struggle with sore arches in summer shoes, but these orthopedic sandals give me the support I need without feeling stiff. I can wear them for hours and my feet still feel good.
