Frequent Questions

A barefoot shoe is a type of minimalist footwear that is designed to mimic the feeling of walking or running barefoot while still providing some protection and support for the feet. Barefoot shoes typically have thin, flexible soles that allow for natural foot movement and sensory feedback, as well as a wide toe box to allow for proper toe splay. They are often lightweight and breathable, and are designed to encourage good posture and gait mechanics.

Barestep shoes differ from traditional running shoes in several ways. Firstly, Barestep shoes have thin, flexible soles that allow for greater sensory feedback and a more natural foot movement. They also have a wider toe box to allow for proper toe splay, which can help to improve foot strength and balance. Additionally, Barestep shoes typically have little to no arch support, which encourages the foot to develop its natural arches over time. Traditional running shoes, on the other hand, often have thick, cushioned soles and a more narrow toe box, as well as significant arch support and stability features.

Barestep shoes are suitable for a wide variety of activities. They are your versatile companion for all-day comfort.
