Barefoot Shoes

We’ve all gone through a phase of wearing uncomfortable shoes. Luckily, those days are over.

By now, you’ve learned that comfort is what suits you the best. Maybe that’s what brought you here — to our barefoot mid-calf boots made by physiotherapists. Your feet get all the space they need. You’ll enjoy a gentle foot massage with every step you take. And you’ll look good at the same time. Wear Ahinsa mid-calf boots in spring, fall, and even winter – put on a healthy stride.

Designed by physiotherapists for comfort and a healthy stride

Hand-made in the Czech Republic and Croatia

100% vegan

Waterproof

Designed for both a wider or very narrow calf

The zipper makes them quick to put on

Barefoot Line: Free your feet

Have you ever noticed how your shoes have a completely different shape than your feet? Ordinary shoes restrict and cramp your feet, so you can’t wait to take them off at the end of the day. Try wearing barefoot shoes, which give your toes the natural space and flexibility they need. In Ahinsa shoes, every step you take becomes a gentle massage for your feet — and your brain. Did you know that walking barefoot stimulates brain centers? And that’s not all. Wearing barefoot shoes also:

Activates your entire kinetic chain

Engages your core stabilization system

Supports the function of your internal organs

Wear shoes that respect the natural shape and elasticity of your feet. Never worn barefoot shoes before? Give our Comfort Line a try first. These shoes come with foam insoles to soften each step. Once you’re ready to transition to barefoot, simply remove them.

Vegan leather CF+ and neoprene: The perfect fabric pairing to keep you warm

In these shoes, the weather won’t catch you off guard. Our shoes are made from European CF+ vegan leather. It has increased water resistance on the outside, while on the inside it absorbs and wicks away moisture. At the same time, our tall boots wrap your calves in neoprene, allowing them to adapt to your legs and keep you warm. Even better? Both of these materials are extremely durable so these boots won’t get scratched or scuffed from wear. Trust us, we’ve tried!

Wick away moisture from your feet

Scratch-resistant

100% vegan

Adapts to the unique shape of your calves

Lifo+: Extra flexible sole that lasts for years

You'll conquer any terrain with the German Lifo+ outsole. It's lightweight and as flexible as your feet. And it doesn't slip even on wet surfaces (we tried it), just be more careful on the ice-covered road. Wondering if they'll last? We've worked that out, too. We chose an extra-durable German compound that won't scuff easily.

Thin and lightweight sole

Reliable even on wet surfaces

Maximum flexibility

Resists wear and tear

As healthy as walking barefoot, study confirms

Your stride is healthy and natural in Ahinsa shoes, studies carried out at Masaryk University confirm. According to the research, Ahinsa shoes allow your foot to engage just like when you walk barefoot. By contrast, ordinary shoes restrict your feet and block their natural sensory contact with the ground. Do something for your health, today.

Then, the top Naboso® Performance Technology layer gives you stimulation

And the sole still maintains enough flexibility to allow for natural movement and ground-feel
