Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are barefoot shoes?
A: Barefoot shoes are shoes that are designed to mimic the sensation of being barefoot, while still offering protection and support. They feature minimal padding, a wide toe box, and a flexible sole that allows your foot to grip the ground and flex naturally.
Q: Why should I wear barefoot shoes?
A: Traditional shoes with thick soles and arch support can actually hinder the foot's natural movement, leading to a host of problems like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and even knee pain. Barefoot shoes are designed to let your feet move, flex, and strengthen as they were meant to, which can help improve overall foot and leg health.
Q: How do I know what size to order?
A: Our shoes run true to size, but if you're unsure, we recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to our size chart. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
Q: Can I return or exchange my shoes if they don't fit?
A:We do not accept returns or exchanges on final sale items.
Q: Are barefoot shoes good for people with foot problems?
A: While barefoot shoes can be beneficial for people with foot problems, it's always best to consult with your doctor or a podiatrist before making any changes to your footwear.
Q: How do I care for my barefoot shoes?
A: We recommend cleaning your shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap, and allowing them to air dry. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
Q: Are barefoot shoes good for running?
A: While barefoot shoes can be beneficial for running, it's important to make the transition gradually and to listen to your body. We recommend starting with short runs and gradually building up to longer distances.
Q: How long does it take to get used to barefoot shoes?
A: It can take some time to get used to barefoot shoes, as your feet and legs will need to adjust to the new sensation. We recommend taking it slow and gradually increasing the amount of time you spend in your barefoot shoes.
