| The Almost Barefoot Difference
#1
The Design
Each pair is engineered from a custom mold (called a "last") that honors the human form. Developed by our founder and her dedicated team, our footwear evolves through a continuous dialogue with the women who wear them.
#2
Our commitments
From design to distribution, each step in our shoe development process is approached with care to create pieces that are timeless and high quality, so that you may wear them for years to come.
The next frontier: Almost barefoot™
Most of us know that shoes weren't designed based on an actual human foot, and that shape has permeated fashion for the last century. What comes next? We’re pioneering the next frontier of footwear: high-style designs built on the mechanics of true freedom.
"I have been barefoot for years, and this is the first shoe that I actually want to wear to work"
"I always thought barefoot shoes were just those five-toe shoes people wear to hike. These are completely different. They're so comfortable! I can actually feel my alignment shifting for the better, even just walking through the subway on my morning commute."
"Being a yogi, I’m happiest barefoot and hate putting shoes back on after class... these are the first pairs that actually let me keep that grounded feeling all day. These give me that exact unrestricted feel but look polished enough for work!!"
Our values
We want to revolutionize women's footwear for the better
About us
From A to Z
The design
Designed in California by the founder herself, our shoes ensure your toes stay straight and splayed (no cramping!) and you strike the ground as freely as you would without shoes.
Materials
Our upper materials come from the finest quality hides sourced from Brazil, which are hand stitched in Mexico. We source the most flexible rubber outsoles, and our moderately cushioned insoles are removable for a more customized fit.
Almost barefoot™
Every step of the process marries the rigorous standards of traditional barefoot shoes with a modern woman's search for style and versatility. You will wear our shoes everywhere, and no one will know you're barefoot.
