Product Information

The highest level of instability among the MBT shoes: the Performance Series. Shoes which carry this index are suited for an experienced MBT walker and can be regarded as the supreme MBT sensation. Sizing & fit: Whitin provides a size chart with internal lengths and widths listed, and we find it to be true to size. Just remember to leave about 12 mm of wiggle room for your feet. These shoes are best suited for medium and wide feet and fit well to different foot volumes. If your feet are on the wider side, you can always size up to gain even more width. The duration of the transitional period depends on a number of factors, including your activity level, weight, gait and the terrain you walk and run on. Some individuals naturally walk with good form, landing on the midfoot (as opposed to heel striking) even with conventional shoes, and it will take them less time to adjust to the movement. For the majority, walking outdoors with barefoot shoes can feel a bit like learning to walk all over again – it certainly did for me.

Despite the added protection, they maintain a minimalist construction throughout the uppers, with breathable mesh fabric. For someone who wants a go-anywhere adventuring trainer but doesn’t want to compromise their barefoot experience, these shoes are a perfect choice. They’re also environmentally friendly, constructed from vegan-friendly recycled materials and Bloom Performance algae insoles. As an added eco-bonus, they are recyclable again after use through the Revivo programme. Splay is a US-based brand that offers some of the most affordable barefoot shoes for both kids and adults. Their collection includes leather shoes, slip-ons, and other styles for adults. Splay initially started with their kids’ collection and after its successful launch, they expanded their collection to offer several styles for adults. The latest addition to their collection is the updated version of their slip-ons and leather sneakers for adults. Sizing & fit: Froddo shoes cater best to those with narrow and medium-wide feet. They feature a more pronounced slope towards the pinky toe, making them less ideal for those with a milder slope. Additionally, there’s slightly less space above the toes. Most of their styles are sneakers made from synthetic materials. All of their shoes have flexible soles that bend in all directions. However, some of their models (for both kids and adults) have insoles with a raised heel. If you’re new to barefoot shoes, keep them in during the transition period. But we recommend replacing them with thin, zero drop insoles once you’ve transitioned well to barefoot shoes. The same goes for your kids!The Actulum chair creates balance and vitality while sitting, but most of our clients are still too inactive in their daily life. MBTs increase the energy used in walking and particularly develop the core muscles, thus restoring a more nomadic lifestyle without giving up the day job! The width of their shoes can also vary from model to model. For instance, new models like Tilava have a wider and more foot-shaped toe box shape, making them suitable for medium-wide feet. On the other hand, you might notice some minimal tapering at the big toe in some other models like Pellet and kids models. It’s worth noting that their shoes are wider than the values listed in the size chart. Their barefoot shoes have zero-drop flexible soles and come with two different insoles – one is zero-drop and the other has a heel rise. This makes them a great choice for both beginners and experienced barefoot shoe wearers. Certainly not. And not all barefoot shoes look like foot-gloves either, although that style of shoe features on this list. Anyone can benefit from wearing barefoot shoes, and there are many styles geared towards city living as well as outdoor fitness pursuits. How does the sizing work for barefoot shoes?

The main purpose of barefoot shoes is functionality. That’s not to say that style is irrelevant, but first and foremost they’re designed to let your feet move as naturally as possible. This means their build usually varies from conventional shoes in several key ways: Do you walk less than you stand still, and you still want the comfort that MBT has to offer because you have a standing profession, for instance behind the counter or in at a production line in a factory, then the MBT index Activate will meet your requirements. Cozy: less volume in the toes part and around ankles (same volume around the middle part of the foot)SIZING: Key features – Sizes available: UK6-14 (men’s); UK3-9 (women’s); Colours available: 4 (men’s), 5 (women’s) (some colours may be unavailable in some sizes); Other key details: Rugged sole, 100-day trial

MBT for Sport & Fitness

Once your body and brain adjust to barefoot movement, you can start stepping things up a bit. And there’s no need to worry about getting a bit of glass in your foot, as barefoot shoe companies ensure that the minimalist soles are puncture-resistant. Running is a different story entirely. While walking on concrete with barefoot shoes can feel normal within a few weeks (provided you walk enough), running will take a lot longer. The standard advice is to start running on soft ground for a while before you transition to pounding the pavement of your local town or city. Landing on the midfoot, as opposed to heel-first, is the key to running barefoot without injury. Has a thermal insole with built-in temperature-regulating technology that absorbs, stores and releases heatIt fits best to narrow to medium wide feet, low to average instep and can accomodate different ankles and calves. The sizing is the same as with other vivobarefoot models.
