Product Information

Freet is a brand that offers a variety of barefoot models suitable for everyday wear and an active lifestyle. They use leather and vegan materials, as well as innovative materials like coffee grounds. While they may not be as affordable as some of the brands mentioned above, their shoes are still cheaper than most barefoot brands, and some styles offer great value for money. Flexible material: Conventional shoes – especially hard dress shoes and high heels – do not allow our feet to bend with each step as they normally would, preventing natural walking and running movement. Running is a different story entirely. While walking on concrete with barefoot shoes can feel normal within a few weeks (provided you walk enough), running will take a lot longer. The standard advice is to start running on soft ground for a while before you transition to pounding the pavement of your local town or city. Landing on the midfoot, as opposed to heel-first, is the key to running barefoot without injury. Because of these benefits, the MBT index Dynamic is the perfect balance between easily standing still and a perfect unrolling while walking.

Sizing & fit: Whitin provides a size chart with internal lengths and widths listed, and we find it to be true to size. Just remember to leave about 12 mm of wiggle room for your feet. These shoes are best suited for medium and wide feet and fit well to different foot volumes. If your feet are on the wider side, you can always size up to gain even more width. Key features – Sizes available: UK6-14 (men’s); UK3-9 (women’s); Colours available: 4 (men’s), 5 (women’s) (some colours may be unavailable in some sizes); Other key details: Rugged sole, 100-day trial Training with MBT improves: Coordination, Core Stability, Power & Speed, Running Style, Endurance, Flexibility, Recovery and Injury Prevention.

MBT for Medical & TherapyKey features – Sizes available: EU41-48 (men’s), EU36-42 (women’s); Colours available: 4 (men’s), 5 (women’s) (some colours may be unavailable in some sizes); Other key details: glove-like fit, suited for running And remember to keep the runs short at first, then build them up slowly, so that the nerves, muscles, tendons and bones of your feet have enough time to adjust to the new and unfamiliar forces that will be passing through them. Are barefoot shoes just for fitness enthusiasts? For instance, my feet measure 26.3/10 cm, and I wear size 43 or 44 in Saguaro shoes (my “usual” size in barefoot shoes is 42).

Wide toe box: Toe boxes on regular shoes cram the toes into a tight space that does not match the actual shape of our feet. As we get older, our naturally splayed toes become cramped and curled by the mechanical forces being applied to them (by shoes). Over time, barefoot shoes may be able to restore your toe splay. The MBT designs from the Dynamic Series are suitable for any situation. Both fervent walkers and people with standing professions choose the MBT shoes from the Dynamic series. The duration of the transitional period depends on a number of factors, including your activity level, weight, gait and the terrain you walk and run on. Some individuals naturally walk with good form, landing on the midfoot (as opposed to heel striking) even with conventional shoes, and it will take them less time to adjust to the movement. For the majority, walking outdoors with barefoot shoes can feel a bit like learning to walk all over again – it certainly did for me. For the vast majority of people, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be safe to wear barefoot shoes, but it’s important to make the transition one step at a time. If you’ve been wearing regular heeled shoes for your entire life, you won’t be able to pop on a pair of minimalist shoes and do a marathon straight away – the risk for injury is highest at the beginning, and barefoot shoe manufacturers advise that you learn to walk before you run. Splay is a US-based brand that offers some of the most affordable barefoot shoes for both kids and adults. Their collection includes leather shoes, slip-ons, and other styles for adults. Splay initially started with their kids’ collection and after its successful launch, they expanded their collection to offer several styles for adults.

Tikki Shoes is a brand that caters to everyone, from infants taking their first steps to adults in need of comfortable and stylish footwear. They offer some of the softest and well-made shoes for first steps, amazing slippers for kids and adults, and now, barefoot sneakers for adults that combine quality and affordability. These sneakers are made of leather, vegan mesh material, or recycled cotton, and are available in many different styles. We hope you’ve found our list of the best affordable barefoot shoes for adults helpful and informative. By choosing to wear minimalist footwear, you’re taking a step towards a more natural, healthy way of walking and supporting your overall foot health. And the good news is, you don’t have to spend a fortune to experience the benefits of going barefoot. With so many affordable options available, there’s no excuse not to try out a pair of barefoot shoes for yourself. Do you walk less than you stand still, and you still want the comfort that MBT has to offer because you have a standing profession, for instance behind the counter or in at a production line in a factory, then the MBT index Activate will meet your requirements.

Sizing & fit: Ballop Shoes uses one size chart for all their styles. While the internal length of the shoe is true to the size chart, it’s important to be careful when choosing your size. For example, in some styles like Pellet, you might lose some length due to the heel shape. So, we recommend sizing up a whole size or two (depending on your foot width) to get the perfect fit. In others, like Tilava, choose your regular size with recommend 12 mm space in front of your toes.

Certainly not. And not all barefoot shoes look like foot-gloves either, although that style of shoe features on this list. Anyone can benefit from wearing barefoot shoes, and there are many styles geared towards city living as well as outdoor fitness pursuits. How does the sizing work for barefoot shoes? You’ve probably seen the Vibram V-Run before. They’re the most well-known and well-loved barefoot running shoes around. Their five-pronged glove-like design allows your toes to slot right in for the snuggest possible fit, while allowing each toe to keep its normal range of movement. Getting the correct size is critical with Vibram FiveFingers, much more so than with other barefoot shoes, and some people complain that the toe slots are either too short or too long. Despite the added protection, they maintain a minimalist construction throughout the uppers, with breathable mesh fabric. For someone who wants a go-anywhere adventuring trainer but doesn’t want to compromise their barefoot experience, these shoes are a perfect choice. They’re also environmentally friendly, constructed from vegan-friendly recycled materials and Bloom Performance algae insoles. As an added eco-bonus, they are recyclable again after use through the Revivo programme. Naturally, if you have a medically diagnosed foot condition, such as flat-foot or a fallen arch, or have had any kind of foot surgery, you should consult a medical professional before proceeding with the transition to wearing barefoot shoes.
