Why regular shoes are not good enough.

Zonder titel (14 x 6 cm).png__PID:cdd845d8-6c05-4c0b-adbb-8f9daa1ecc87

Narrow toe boxes

Most shoes are too narrow and force your toes to squeeze. Along with discomfort, this can also lead to long-term issues like bunions.

Heavy and stiff soles

Heavy-built shoes may look durable, but are unnecessarily heavy causing some muscles to be overused while others aren’t enough.

Unnatural cushioning

While cushioning feels great short-term, long-term use can weaken foot muscles and reduce nerve sensitivity.

Bareshoes - Classic Knit

Vincent N.

"I’ve tried different barefoot shoes and Bareshoes are definitely in the top 3 out of all. They give me that true barefoot feel, but with the practicality to wear anywhere— outside, at work, or while traveling. Lightweight and flexible, they mold perfectly to your feet after a few days."

Bareshoes - Casual Suede

Marty H.

"Very comfortable! I sprayed it with suede waterproofing and it doesn't stain from walking through damp grass like my other suede shoes. Another thing I love is the wide sole. It gives my toes plenty of room to spread out, which makes a big difference on longer walks."

Michael T.

"Got them for the whole family. We all love them! It's the most versatile and most comforable "shoe" I ever owned. My kids love them because it feels like beeing barefoot (which they prefer to be). I love them for the same reason and on top, in the (very casual) office, while shopping. And what a relief it is to travel in them!

Are barefoot shoes good for Plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions, etc.?

We are convinced that the wrong kind of footwear can cause all kinds of health issues and that barefoot shoes help a lot of our customers live healthier lives.
And although we believe that only health experts can give the right advice to consider the full body's picture, we also think that barefoot shoes are often a good step forward for people to grow a more natural posture and feet.

Are barefoot shoes meant for all activities?

Yes, they can be used for all actvities. Some people use them for workouts, hikes, going to the office, or any other daily activity.
Just be careful with using barefoot shoes for long distances when you are not used to them, because the body has to adjust if your body is used to less natural footwear.
Having the additional insole is for many barefoot enthusiasts who walk on much unnatural surfaces such as concrete a useful addition.

Are Bareshoes and Baresocks machine washable?

Both our Baresocks and Bareshoes are machine washable at 30 degrees celsius.
For the Bareshoes, just make sure to use a mesh laundry bag and that washing might put a strain on colors and materials. So only wash when necessary.

Do I need arch support?

Naturally healthy feet have a steady shape whereby arch support is not necessary.
We believe arch support is only coming from the need to support weak feet that are used to arch support.
Just make sure that when you make the transition to barefoot shoes to take it slowly to give your foot muscles the time it needs to strengthen.

Do you offer a warranty?

Although Barefootwear items are manufactured with great care, they sometimes have an issue caused by us.

How can I return my shoes?

Returns can be registered in our returns portal.
If you choose for a refund (not an exchange), the return shipping fee is charged to you when we handle your refund.
This fee is $10 for orders outside the EU/UK and €7.50 for orders inside the EU/UK.

How long does it take to get my refund?

After your unworn return is received by our warehouse, we will handle your refund in 5 working days.
You will receive an email with the refund notification once this has taken place.

Payments via PayPal are usually refunded immediately, while other payments usually take 1-3 working days to process.

How we ended up
building a shoe company?

 We've all felt the freedom of going barefoot. That's the feeling we consider when designing the socks and shoes we create.

When I was younger, I struggled with back pain, and I found relief by switching to more natural, barefoot-style footwear. That discovery inspired me to start Barefootwear. Our mission is to bring that sense of comfort and freedom to others, offering shoes that let your feet move naturally, without restrictions. Thanks for stopping by, and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out at stijn@barefootwear.com.

How we ended up
building a shoe company?

Walking naturally and feeling the ground beneath your feet should be a joyful experience.

We've all felt the freedom that comes from letting our feet move as they were designed to.

It might be the comfort of stretching your toes after a long day or the simple joy of walking barefoot on a soft patch of grass or on the beach. That's the feeling we consider when designing the socks and shoes we create.
