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.
