hand-sewn shoes that has decided to redefine "normal"
hand-sewn shoes that has decided to redefine "normal"
Czechia

We would like to help change the perception of "normal" footwear. We are certainly not alone in this - there are more good brands and we are also working to change people's thinking not only about the health of the feet, but of the whole body. Because in the human body everything is related to everything. We are reaching out to the world of barefoot stores who are excited about the new brand as it expands the current footwear offering. Our shoes have a timeless design that appeals to a wider range of customers. Otherwise, ballerinas and children's shoes will soon be shown to the world.

The entire shoe is made in the Czech Republic, but not only from Czech materials. Unfortunately, it is not possible to ensure long-term serial production using materials from the Czech Republic. However, all materials are actually produced (not just imported) in the EU. We collect the leather in a Czech tannery, the cows come from free pastures. Did you know that cows are not killed for their leather? Using leather is essentially waste processing. Nowadays, a lot of cow hide ends up in incinerators, so we are happy that at least some of it will be used for further processing.

Leguano barefoot shoes were designed in Germany by a group of movement specialists and barefoot professionals. After experiencing the negative effects of running in stiff shoes with maximal support, they began researching the benefits of running barefoot. They found that after a gradual and safe transition to running barefoot, people (including themselves) commonly experienced less injuries and pain associated with running.

Respect the shape and natural movement of your feet
Respect the shape and natural movement of your feet
Spain

Minimalist or functional footwear respects the shape and natural movement of your feet, because we believe in footwear that is healthier and more respectful of our human nature. A shoe for your feet and not that your feet have to adapt to the shoe. We help the health of your feet by avoiding malformations, improving balance and proprioception. Being absolutely flat (zero drop) your body will be naturally aligned from the base promoting a correct posture and a balance of pressure on your feet so that your lower back does not have to compensate, avoiding pain and poor back postures.

We settled down with our two daughters on the Northern beaches in Sydney and we absolutely love Local lifestyle. As summer hits, a lot of adults and kids go barefoot, which gave us the idea - wouldn’t be great to feel barefoot while still wearing shoes ? Our shoes are so flexible, light, anatomically shaped and super comfortable. After lot of research we come across the brand Be Lenka which ticks all the boxes.

Handcrafted Shoes, Designed to Last.
Handcrafted Shoes, Designed to Last.
the UK

I have trained in my craft using leather, being a natural material for shoes as it intuitively reflects the movement and flexibility of the foot. I make my shoes with great respect to the animal that lived before, they are designed to last - in defiance to all the masses of shoes made to rest in landfill and replaced by a new pair each time. The leather I have been using is called Full grain Italian which despite the name almost certainly from Argentinian cattle raised on the Pampa plains. Full grain means it is the strongest and most durable part of the hide of an animal from just below the hair. Additionally, since the grain is so tight, it resists moisture very well.

The SAGUARO barefoot shoe has a completely flexible sole. An important and convincing factor for every barefoot shoe. Furthermore, the sole is thin and the shoe has zerodrop. The points are convincing and make a barefoot shoe. So we have no heel and stand flat on the ground. The ground contact and a barefoot feeling are given. The thickness of the sole is a very good choice especially for beginners. Here SAGUARO can definitely keep up with common manufacturers.

FAQ

Barefoot shoes can be a healthy choice for your feet as they allow natural movement, encourage proper foot posture, and provide sensory feedback. However, it's important to transition gradually and choose shoes that fit your foot shape and activity level to prevent injury. Consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

Yes, there is science behind barefoot shoes. A study has shown that walking in minimalist shoes can be effective for strengthening foot muscles, which may help reduce the risk of loading-related injuries. By providing increased stimulus to the foot muscles, barefoot shoes can help promote foot health and overall strength.

Minimalist shoes and barefoot shoes are similar but not exactly the same. Both are designed to allow for natural foot movement and promote foot strength and health. However, barefoot shoes are generally more flexible and have a wider toe box, while minimalist shoes may have some level of cushioning or support.

Yes, barefoot shoes work by promoting natural foot motion, allowing the feet to move and function as they would barefoot. Studies have shown that wearing barefoot shoes can help improve foot strength, flexibility, and balance, as well as reduce the risk of injury. By enabling natural foot movement and providing adequate support, barefoot shoes can help promote overall foot health and comfort.

Yes, it can be good to wear barefoot shoes. By allowing the feet to move and function naturally, barefoot shoes can help improve foot strength, flexibility, and balance, as well as reduce the risk of certain injuries. However, it is important to transition gradually into barefoot shoes to avoid overuse injuries and allow the feet time to adjust to the new way of moving.

Wearing barefoot shoes can help promote healthy foot mechanics and muscle development, which may lead to changes in foot shape and appearance over time. However, these changes are often positive and result in stronger, more functional feet. It is important to gradually transition into barefoot shoes and choose a style that provides adequate support and protection for your individual needs.
