I’m Matt Paisley. Since 1993, I’ve been a high school teacher, cross country coach, and an avid runner. Up until 10 years ago, I was running in standard shoes, and constantly endured injuries and discomfort. Then came the last straw - a herniated disc in my lower back. Heel striking in shoes became unbearable. I found relief in sandals.

Handcrafted Shoes, Designed to Last.
Handcrafted Shoes, Designed to Last.

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.

Buyer's Guide for Barefoot Shoes in

the UK

Finding barefoot shoe makers and retailers that are based in
the UK
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.

Shipping barefoot shoes from outside

the UK

If it makes sense for you to purchase from a barefoot brand/retailer outside
the UK
, 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.

Measure your feet accurately! Specifically for barefoot shoes

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.

Conclusion

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.

Have some tips you'd like to share, leave them in the comments below!

FAQ

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.
