Care Instructions

To clean your Original Mesh 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 got wet.

For removing more stubborn stains, you can also throw your Original Mesh in the washing machine. You can wash your shoes by themselves in a mesh laundry bag on a gentle cycle with cold water. Let them air dry afterwards. Please be aware that machine washing can put a strain on colors and materials. So don’t wash your shoes like you wash your underwear!

Note: The shoes are not suitable for activities that cause a lot of friction on the sole, as this can damage the soft sole.

Feel like slippers!

I’ve had these about 18 months now, I bought them for work as I am a midwife and need something really comfy and flexible. I take my shoes off a lot normally but these are so amazingly comfy I don’t even know I am wearing them. I got the insoles which are great and don’t slip around. These still look new as well so I imagine will last many more years. Definitely recommend.

Shoes designed for a barefoot-like experience

The ample space inside the shoes allows my toes to spread naturally, and the flat sole gives me a sense of connection to the ground that I've never experienced with other footwear. It truly feels like I'm walking barefoot, but with the added benefit of protection and support.

I purchased these shoes specifically for my gym workouts, and I must say these shoes provide the perfect balance of support and flexibility. They allow me to maintain stability during heavy lifts while still allowing my feet to move naturally. It's amazing how they've improved my overall performance and comfort level at the gym.

Great Shoes!

Comfortable, stylish barefoot shoes that fit true to size. Very lightweight for a spring/summer/early autumn trainer. Shipping to the UK was very quick and easy.
