Finding barefoot shoe makers and retailers that are based in
France
is worth the effort and comes with many benefits:
- Free/low cost shipping.
- Free/low cost returns.
- Try out barefoot shoes in-store before buying.
- Support your local makers and businesses.
If it makes sense for you to purchase from a barefoot brand/retailer outside
France
, remember that taxes and duties may not be included in the advertised price. The cost of shipping is often calculated by factors such as weight, size, distance, quantity, and speed of delivery. There are usually online calculators to help you figure out shipping & import fees.
Okay, let's talk sizing. Every barefoot shoe brand designs their shoes to a fit different foot shapes, volumes and sizes. Your normal shoe size for traditional footwear may not be the same when it comes to barefoot shoes. There are a few things you can do to ensure that you're picking the right size.
Firstly, make sure you
measure your foot accurately and identify your foot type to get a better idea of what kind of shoes will suit you best. Then make sure that you read the brands sizing guide carefully! Remember to double check the units of measurement as they can be different in each country 😅
Ultimately, the best way to find the perfect fit is to go and try them on in-store if that's possible.
Barefoot shoes,
also known as minimalist shoes, mimic the feeling of walking or running barefoot while still providing protection and support to your feet. They're awesome because they can
improve your posture, increase your foot strength, and reduce your risk of injury.
