Men's Handmade Barefoot Brown Oxford Nubuck Leather Shoes - Size 12 - New in BoxI purchased these online from a bespoke retailer, but the soles are a bit too thin for my taste. Too much to return, so they're up for sale.I compare the sole thickness to vivobarefoot, so pretty minimal. It's a plain leather sole, so not super grippy.Very nice simple constructed shoe.---------------MATERIALS-- Upper: Cow Leather- Insole: Buffalo Leather (1,5mm)- Outsole: Soft Rubber (5mm)Key features of barefoot shoes include:Thin sole: The sole of a barefoot shoe is typically thin and flexible, allowing for a better sense of the ground beneath the feet and promoting natural foot movement.Zero-drop: Barefoot shoes have a zero-drop design, meaning that there is no height difference between the heel and the toe. This promotes a more natural and flat foot position, as opposed to the elevated heel found in many regular shoes.Wide toe box: Barefoot shoes usually have a wide toe box, allowing the toes to splay and move freely. This design aims to mimic the natural shape of the foot and reduce pressure on the toes.Minimal cushioning and support: Unlike traditional athletic shoes, barefoot shoes offer minimal cushioning and arch support. This encourages the foot's intrinsic muscles to engage and develop strength over time.Lightweight: Barefoot shoes are typically lightweight, which adds to the natural feel and encourages a lighter stride.
