They talk about us
Barefoot specialist
They are amazing for wearing and walking for hours. You even forget you have them on. Nörd offers soft fit, though extremely comfortable. It was a bit harder to find the correct fitting point of the straps with other huaraches. Some hurt my feet for weeks, others left marks. With Nörd I felt an instant fit.

"COMPACT VERSION"
Tecnical specification
Thickness: Vibram® 5mm
In our quest for quality, we opted for the most famous sole in the sector. Vibram® 5mm, light yet extremely resistant, that provides a better grip with ground and more durability*.
Laces: Nörd Lock System®
It took us a while to figure out which closure system to apply on this sandals. We wanted something minimalist with an aesthetic design while selecting the most resistant materials.
We also opted for the ease in the use and the option for washing and to disassemble some parts for replace if necessary.
*natural wear and tear will occur depending on the use and ageing of the product.
Features
Protectied elastic cord
Thanks to the lower Rock Connector, we have protected the elastic cord from premature wear.

Questions about Nörd sandals
What is the difference between the Zero, Volcan, and Uluwatu models?
The only difference lies in the color of the elastic cord. All other features, materials, and specifications remain the same.
What is the difference between the Compact and the Strap model?
The only difference is that the Strap version features an adjustable ankle strap, allowing you to customize the fit for enhanced comfort and support.
Can I get them wet?
Sure Nörd is waterproof! But if you buy Skin version it better not to get them wet. Skin and water are not good friends.
Can I use Nörd sandals in any terrain, whether it's city, mountain or sea?
Each Nörd sandal is handmade using high quality resistant materials of well-known brands such as Vibram® and Ironman® allowing for an ample usage in different terrains. However, the sandals are designed for a feel-free walk, hence the user must be aware that their feet will be unprotected from rough impact or blows from external elements like stones, rocks, branches, street furniture, etc. Likewise, the user must be aware that the sandals provide a strictly necessary support that is sufficient for walking freely. The user must also make a reasonable and responsible use of them, taking into account the different terrains to be used on, whether walking or running.
Will they not be too low?
Walking with the Nörd is walking barefoot but with the foot protected by a technical sole like the Vibram© used for high-end mountain shoes.
Are they comfortable?
The sandals are made with a 5mm Vibram® sole. It is a very different way of walking, it’s almost like as if you were barefoot but with your feet protected. We were the first to test them during two years and they appeared to be realy comfortable. Once you try them, it is really hard to get back to normal rubber sandals.
Many athletes runwith 5mm minimalist sole sandals today to have a better grip with the land, like it was done in the past before trainers were introduced.
The 5mm Vibram® sole is very resistant, although one should consider that it doesn’t have the same cushioning as normal EVA soles. So, if you are looking for some super cushioning, NÖRD isn’t the right choice for you.
I find it weird walking in the sandals, is it normal?
Yes, totally. Everyone will tell you that it takes some time to get used to Nörd sandals (the same goes for running sandals). Your body needs some adaptation time. In our case, it took about two or three days walking around with the sandals on almost all day to get used to the 5mm soles. But, of course, it may vary from person to person.
Pros: Sandals with very nice aesthetics, super minimalist, actually the most miminalist I’ve found. I don’t run in them, it’s more for travelling, hiking and especially for summer in the city.
Cons: Nothing

Buyer
Pros: The support was the best. They answer via whatsapp or email. I had to change the size and they provided an excellent customer service. 10 for support!
Cons: I recommend printing the sole and measuring really well, because the shipping cost for changes is on the buyer.

Buyer
Pros: Despite the 5mm soles, the sandals are very comfortable, feels like walking barefoot but your feet are protected. If you change the elastic cord from time to time, they can practically last forever.

A truly minimalist design with a stunning comfort. Elastic band is very easy to use and they do not hurt. A ^must^ specially in summer when you have your feet tanned. Fast shipping and arrived in time. Try your size by the measure page, print the paw and voilá!

Ha sido una buena compra. Son cómodas y simples. Justo lo que buscaba. No puntúo con cinco estrellas porque me están resultando algo difíciles de ajustar.
Francisco (verified owner) –
Very good
CLAUDIO (verified owner) –
Highly recommended purchase: it seems to walk barefoot but in safety and comfort. Ultra light, like having nothing on your feet. I had to replace the size (my mistake, so pay attention to the measurements, as recommended): accurate and very fast service (even if paid).

Minimalistic, perfect size, very light and comfotable! Never thought i would love them so much in such a short time! Highly recommended!!!
Raffaele (verified owner) –
Molto comodo e leggerissimo.
Adam (verified owner) –
Very confortable and light!
However, the small plastic piece on the elastic cord keeps moving which is very annoying.
Also, I believe one size more than the recommended one would protech the foot better.
