Size chart
What is barefoot?
A barefoot shoe is built to get out of your foot's way rather than correct it.
Low drop
Enhanced ground feel and natural proprioception with every step.
Wide toe box
A wide toe box lets your toes spread and grip the way they would unshod.
Ground feel
A thin, flexible sole preserves ground feel — the sensory feedback your foot uses to balance on every kind of terrain.
What is podopostural barefoot?
Podopostural barefoot is Bareo's own approach within barefoot design.
Podopostural insole
The same wide toe box, low drop and flexible sole, paired with a podopostural insole shaped to support the hallux — the big toe that plays an outsized role in balance and posture with every step.
Same foundation
It's one way to build a barefoot shoe, not an upgrade on barefoot itself — the same foundation, with extra attention to how you stand and walk.
Specialist-developed
Designed with specialists in proprioception and refined over more than a decade of testing.
Common questions
Still deciding? Here's what shoppers usually ask before their first pair.
What is Barefoot Podopostural Footwear and what are its benefits?
Barefoot Podopostural footwear is designed to respect the natural biomechanics of the feet and thus provide a walking experience closer to barefoot, but with adequate protection. It stands out for integrating neurosensory principles that optimize proprioception and promote better postural alignment.
Benefits include:
- Greater comfort and freedom of movement.
- Reduction of muscle fatigue when walking.
- Better adaptation of the body to the ground, promoting a more stable balance.
- Minimization of proprioceptive errors, which can impact posture and well-being.
Is Barefoot Podopostural Footwear suitable for daily use?
Yes! It was developed to be used on a daily basis by people of any age and gender who are looking for comfortable and functional footwear. Its structure allows for a more fluid walk, which helps to reduce the strain on the joints and encourages the body's natural adaptation to movement.

How to choose the right size of Barefoot Podopostural shoes?

How do I care for my Barefoot Podopostural footwear?
