Barefoot footwear is designed to allow your feet to move as naturally as possible.
Unlike traditional shoes, which often include thick cushioning, elevated heels, and rigid structures,
barefoot sandals aim to provide only essential protection while allowing your feet to move freely.

• Thin and flexible sole to maintain ground feel.
• Zero drop (no height difference between heel and toe).
• Wide toe area that allows the toes to spread naturally.
• Minimal structure so the foot can work as nature intended.

Adaptation Period

If you are new to barefoot footwear, it is important to allow your body time to adapt.
Conventional shoes often weaken certain muscles in the feet and legs because they provide a lot of support and cushioning.

When switching to minimalist footwear, these muscles begin to work again, which can lead to mild fatigue during the first weeks.
This is completely normal.

Recommended Transition

• Start by wearing your sandals for short periods of time.
• Gradually increase usage over several days or weeks.
• Pay attention to how your body feels and allow time for recovery.
• Walking is the best way to begin the adaptation process.

For most people, the transition period lasts between 1 and 4 weeks, although this can vary depending on previous footwear habits and activity level.

Once adapted, many people enjoy a greater sense of freedom, better ground awareness, and a more natural walking experience.

1. Place the cord between your big toe and the second toe.
2. The double strap should pass behind the heel. If you have the strap version, adjust it so that your heel does not extend beyond the sole.
3. The front diagonal strap should cross the foot at approximately a 45° angle.
4. Use the ring as the lower stopper to keep the strap in the correct position.

We know how difficult it can be to choose the right size when it comes to barefoot footwear.
For this reason, we provide a size comparison with Birkenstock-style sandals and a printable template to help you find your correct size.

Toes extending beyond the sole

If you notice that your toes extend beyond the sole, it means the size is not correct.
Please follow the instructions on the size exchange page (>)  to request a size change.

Heel positioned about 1 cm inside the sole

If your heel seems to sit slightly inside the sole (around 1 cm), this is normal.
When walking, the foot tends to move slightly backward, so leaving a small margin helps ensure a better fit while walking.
