Traditional rigid soles can cause discomfort and throw your body out of its natural alignment during everyday activities. Experts agree that barefoot walking is best for your feet and overall health.
Our Hike Summit shoes feature an ultra-light, flexible 4mm sole. This innovative design promotes a natural walking motion, encourages proper foot alignment and helps alleviate common discomforts in knees, hips, back, ankles, and feet.
Experience the freedom of barefoot walking with the protection of a shoe. Your feet, and your whole body, will thank you.
Modern life makes going completely barefoot impractical. No one wants to walk barefoot on paved roads or city streets. We're forced to wear rigid shoes, which has its downsides. Stiff shoes weaken foot muscles and can lead to misalignment, causing knee, back, and hip pain. Barefoot shoes are the best choice to reduce foot problems and discomfort.
Sizes are shown as US Women and US Men on the same button, so pick the row that matches the size you normally buy.
Measure your longest foot at the end of the day, when your feet are at their largest. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one. Order one size up if you wear thicker socks or your own orthotic insole.
The toe box is wider than a conventional shoe by design, so wide feet and feet that swell during the day usually fit without going up a size.
Full measuring method and a chart for every model in our size and care guide.
These are barefoot shoes, so they have no arch support, and that is deliberate. A supportive shoe holds the arch in one position. A barefoot shoe leaves the foot free so the muscles that carry your arch do that work themselves.
If you have worn cushioned or supportive shoes for years, expect the first days to feel different. Start with an hour or two at a time on flat ground and build up over two to three weeks. Some tightness in the calves or the arch early on is those muscles waking up.
Once you are used to them, they are made to be worn all day.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need special insoles?
Our barefoot shoes come with a thin, removable insole. Insoles can help you transition from standard shoes to minimalist ones, as changing too quickly can cause issues.
They also provide extra insulation in cold weather. Many customers start with the included insole and later remove it as they adjust. We also offer additional, thicker insoles in our store if needed.
Should I wear socks with these shoes?
The term "barefoot shoe" refers to the shoe's wide shape and flexible material that mimics barefoot walking. Whether you wear socks is a personal preference, but most of our customers do wear socks with their barefoot shoes.
How do I find the right size?
If you're between sizes and have wider feet, we recommend choosing the larger size. All purchases are covered by our 30-day return policy, counted from your delivery date, if the fit isn't right.
Isn't walking actually barefoot better than wearing barefoot shoes?
While walking truly barefoot has benefits, it's not always safe or comfortable, especially in cold weather or on rough surfaces.
Barefoot shoes protect your feet from sharp objects and cold, wet surfaces while still providing the barefoot experience. They offer the benefits of barefoot walking without the risks.

This review popped up out of nowhere even though I just started shopping and it wouldn’t go away. So here’s my review of this situation.
These surprised me in a good way. I mostly wanted something lighter for errands and short walks, but the wide toe box makes a bigger difference than I expected. They don't squeeze my toes and they feel flexible without being flimsy. I’ve only had them a short time, so I can’t speak to long-term durability yet, but so far they’re comfortable enough that I keep reaching for them instead of my usual sneakers.
Comfort is good and the wide toe box is exactly what I needed, but delivery took longer than expected and the tracking barely updated for several days. Once they arrived, the shoes were fine and the fit was better than most walking shoes I’ve tried. I’d still recommend them, just taking one star off because the courier experience was annoying.
I use these mostly for walking the dog and quick runs to the store. They’re lighter than my old shoes and I like that I can actually feel the ground without it being uncomfortable. Took me a couple walks to get used to the barefoot feel, but now normal sneakers feel bulky. Good everyday pair if you want room in the toes and less stiffness.
These are comfortable around the toes and I like how flexible they are, but I would tell people to start slowly. My calves were sore the first week because they are very different from normal sneakers. They feel better now for groceries and walks, but I don't think the adjustment period was explained enough. Good shoes, just not instant magic.
I'm a physical therapist and I started wearing these during patient sessions about four months ago. The difference in my own feet was enough that I've started recommending them to patients rehabbing foot and ankle injuries. The thin sole promotes proprioception which is huge for recovery. Not appropriate for every case obviously but for most people getting back to normal activity these are way better than the heavy supportive shoes I used to suggest. Several patients have bought them and progressed faster than expected. I wear the black pair daily and ordered a second pair for home. Build quality is solid, no separation at the seams even with 10+ hours of daily wear on hospital floors. If you work in healthcare and you're on your feet all day, do yourself a favor and try these.
Mom of three (2, 5, and 8) and oh my god my feet have never been happier!! I'm at the playground, the grocery store, school pickup, chasing the toddler around the house, and these just GO with everything I do. They don't slip on wet playground equipment which was my main worry. I used to ice my feet literally every single night and now I don't even think about it! Threw them in the washing machine after my 2 year old decided mud was a great activity and they came out looking brand new. Already ordered a second pair because I refuse to go back to my old shoes. If your a mom who's on her feet all day just trust me on this one!!
I honestly didn't expect barefoot shoes to improve my golf game but here we are. The ground feel lets me sense my weight shifting during the swing and it made a real difference. Two guys in my foursome made fun of them until they saw my scores come down, and then both of them ordered pairs lol. I'm 68 and wish I'd tried these way sooner.
I'm 67 and I've been hiking since my early 30s so I know what works on a trail and what doesn't. Let me be clear, these won't replace my Salomons for serious backcountry with scree and steep descents. That's not what they're for. But for day hikes and trail walks, which is honestly 90% of what I do now, they're fantastic.
Took them on a rocky trail outside Sedona last month and the grip surprised me. What I love most is actually feeling the terrain under my feet. Your body adjusts naturally to rocks and roots instead of just stomping along on three inches of cushion pretending the ground is flat.
I spent thousands on orthotics over the years. Custom molded, over the counter, you name it. Looking back I think they made things worse by doing all the work my feet should have been doing themselves. Four months in these and my balance is noticably better. My wife says I walk differently and I think she's right.
I teach yoga so I'm barefoot most of the day anyway and these are honestly the closest thing to being barefoot while still wearing a shoe. My toes spread out naturally and nothing pinches at all. Plus they're cute enough to wear to lunch after class which is a bonus. Just go with your normal size and you'll be fine.
Had plantar fasciitis for two years. Every podiatrist said more support, more cushioning, more orthotics. I spent probably $800 on custom insoles that barely helped. Then I started reading about how thick soles might actually cause the problem by weakening your foot muscles and I thought okay what do I have to lose at this point.
These were my first barefoot shoe. Important thing tho, don't just switch cold turkey. I wore them 2 hours the first day and added 30 minutes each day after that. First two weeks my calves were killing me. But by week four the morning heel pain that had been ruining my life for two years was mostly gone. Its been three months now and I'd say I'm 85% better.
I'm not a doctor and everyone's different but if you've tried everything else and nothing worked, maybe the problem isn't that you need MORE support.
I bought a pair for my husband's birthday because he wouldn't stop talking about barefoot shoes. He loved them so much that I got myself a pair too and now we walk the dog together every evening and both of us notice way less stiffness afterward. The thin sole handles gravel and cracked sidewalks totally fine. Size chart was accurate for both of us, he got the black and I got gray.
Ok so I'm on pair number three now lol. Gray first, then black, now green. I might have a problem haha. But seriously my knees stopped hurting after I ditched my thick running shoes and that alone was worth it. What keeps me coming back is how consistent they are, every pair fits the same and wears the same. I've told like 10 people about them and most of them bought a pair too. Just get them you won't regret it.
