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.

We Are ToeSox

The World's Original 5-Toe Socks

Born in 2004 from a need to protect feet during barefoot classes while also supporting natural movement, we've grown to become the most trusted 5-toe grip socks on the planet.

ToeSox Tec

Cutting-edge technology that allows you get to stay cooler, & fresher than ever before. Enjoy next-level sweat-wicking & antimicrobial properties with ToeSox Tec.

Why Five

When we created a sock with 5 toes, people asked why. Then they tried them - and they never went back to regular grip socks again.

Anchors To Your Foot

  • No bunching & no slipping so you can get down to doing what you love... only better

Mimics Nature

  • Embracing the natural balance you get from spreading your toes

Hygenic Barrier

  • Allowing your toes to feel free & uninhibited while leaving those germs where they belong

Amplifies Your Workout

  • By activating your foot muscles & allowing you to push your body to its edge

Eliminates Friction

  • No blisters, & no moisture between your toes, while promoting circulation

Our Impact On The Planet

Sustainability Matters

At ToeSox, we understand it's up to us to lessen our impact on the planet, which is why we strive to create durable products that stand the test of time, invest in quality over creating quick wins, and work on the premise that if consumers can buy less but buy better, our planet will thank us all.

Designed for young babies
the USA

ough Little Piggies (TLP's) are a flexible-sole shoe that were designed so babies can grip naturally with their toes as they learn to balance! There are 3 very important features that TLP's offer! First of all, they are made with an elastic ankle that helps keep the from falling off. Secondly, the flexible-sole is made of a rubber material to give babies the best traction when they are learning to walk/crawl. Lastly, the flexible rubberized toe provides the shoe/material extra protection so that the fabric doesn't wear and tear, while also providing extra grip for crawling babies!

Buyer's Guide for Barefoot Shoes in

the USA

Finding barefoot shoe makers and retailers that are based in
the USA
is worth the effort and comes with many benefits:
- Free/low cost shipping.
- Free/low cost returns.

- Support your local makers and businesses.

Shipping barefoot shoes from outside

the USA

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

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.

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.
