Barefoot Shoes For Work

There is a big misconception that barefoot shoes are only to be worn inside the gym, or for barefoot running. We are changing that.

Now it is true that the trend began with fitness enthusiasts demanding for an alternate to regular sportswear, barefoot shoes are not merely for a particular use- case but a complete lifestyle altogether. 

The idea is behind shoes is simple - shoes help us stay safe and let us use our bodies well in all kinds of scenarios. However, over years and throughout cultural misappropriation, shoes have become unhealthy. 
They are not foot shaped, have a nasty heel and don't let us feel the ground we stand on. 

Now certain extreme scenarios may need this - like snowy areas, or super risky areas, like construction sites. These require special shoes. That is a trade off we make for our safety.

However daily wear shoes should have all features that barefoot shoes provide - being foot shaped, thin soles, flexible and have no heel drop.
This not only ensures we feel good, but also that we actually stay healthy and prevent a lot of problems that come with the kind of shoes we wear today.

If you are looking for barefoot shoes for yourself (which you should), especially for being out and about in urban spaces, try our new collection - Zen Kairos. We've designed them specifically for your day to day needs. May it be at the office, in gyms or even for indoor sports. 

Barefoot shoes should not be an option, but a default.
