Description

This colorway will be discontinued. Remaining sizes available while stocks last.

The Original Knit combines all the benefits of a barefoot shoe with a sleek and stylish look. Its knit upper comes with a slightly water-repellent treatment, which makes this model a great all-round sneaker. The spacious toe box respects the shape of your feet, and our flexible sneaker sole allows your foot to move as it is supposed to.

This model features our improved sole material for increased durability. Read more about the sole update on our blog.

All materials and dyes tested to EU REACH standards: recycled PET (upper, laces, lining), recyclable rubber (sole), microfiber (heel lining)

Care Instructions

To clean your Original Knit, remove all loose dirt with a soft shoe brush. If necessary, go in with a clean, soft brush to apply some lukewarm water and a mild cleaning solution. Wipe any excess product with a moist cloth. Air dry at room temperature after cleaning or when the shoes get wet.

Make sure to regularly renew the water-repellent treatment, using a waterproofing spray. For best performance, we also recommend spraying them before you first wear them.

The Original Knit is not machine washable, as this removes its water-repellent properties and might cause the upper material to lose its shape.

Nice shoes but broken laces

I really like these shoes, have been using them a lot since I got them. They fit true to size if you follow the size chart. However one of the laces was frayed when I got them. I reached out to customer service that same day but never got a reply. Ended up switching to some old laces I had laying around so I could use the shoes before it gets too cold. A bit disappointed in customer service, specifically as I’ve heard that they’re generally good. But the shoes are really comfortable, and looks so normal when compared to non barefoot shoes.

Dear Matilde,

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with the shoes! I’m really glad to hear that you’re enjoying their comfort and fit. It’s always great to know that our size chart helped you find the right pair.

I’m truly sorry to hear about the issue with the laces and that you didn’t receive a reply from us when you reached out. After checking, I could only find an email where we assisted you with sizing. Our goal is to respond to every email within 24 hours, so I sincerely apologize if something went wrong in this case.

Of course, we’ll send you a replacement pair of laces free of charge as soon as possible. We’ll also reach out to you privately regarding the replacement shipment to ensure everything is handled smoothly.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’re always here to make sure you have the best experience with our products.

Thank you again for your feedback, and please don't hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can do for you!

Best regards,
Viviana

life changing shoe - can't go back to reg shoes

Love these. I love feeling the ground and the muscles it exercises just by walking using all the muscles in my feet ankles and calves. Also this style goes with everything.

Great

Very comfortable and great quality. The seams are nice and even, they look durable and I think they will last me a good few years.
