    How to Measure Your Feet for the Right Fit

    A good fit ensures comfort and durability. Here’s how to measure accurately with our shoe size guide:

    1. Measure the Length: Place a piece of paper against a wall and stand with your heel touching it. Mark the end of your longest toe and measure the distance from the wall.

    2. Measure the Width: Find the widest part of your foot and measure across.

    3. Measure Both Feet: It’s common for one foot to be slightly larger, so go with the larger size.  

    4. Check the Size Guide: Use our shoe size guide to match your measurements with the closest fit. If between sizes, we suggest sizing up for extra comfort, especially if you wear socks.

    Following these steps ensures the best fit and makes your barefoot shoe experience as comfortable as possible.

    Tips for Finding Your Perfect Fit

    • Consider Sock Thickness: If you typically wear thicker socks, you might want to size up slightly to accommodate.
    • Foot Swelling: Feet can swell throughout the day, so it’s best to measure your feet in the afternoon or evening for a more accurate fit.
    • Check for Width: If you have wider feet, look for shoes that offer wide sizes or additional room in the toe box.
    • If your shoe size falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size. For instance, if a size 7 fits you well in some brands, but a size 7.5 fits better in others, we suggest ordering size 7.5.

    Tips for Cleaning shoes and Keeping Them Odor-Free  

    Barefoot shoes need special care to stay fresh and in shape for longer. Here’s how to effectively handle cleaning shoes and managing odors:

     Here’s a simple guide for cleaning barefoot shoes, along with tips for keeping them fresh and odor-free:

    Basic Cleaning Routine for Barefoot Shoes

    1. Preparation

    Remove any loose dirt or debris from the shoes. Take out the insoles and laces to clean them separately.

    2. Protective Measures

    Place the shoes, insoles, and laces into a mesh laundry bag to prevent potential damage during the wash cycle.

    3. Washing Instructions

    Cycle Selection: Use the delicate or gentle cycle on your washing machine. This setting minimizes agitation, reducing wear on the shoes.

    Water Temperature: Opt for cold water to prevent any potential shrinkage or color fading.

    Detergent: Use a mild, dye-free, and scent-free detergent to maintain the material's integrity and avoid skin irritation.

    4. Drying Process

    Air Drying: After washing, reshape the shoes and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, such as radiators, which can deform or damage the materials.

    Insole and Lace Care: Ensure insoles and laces are thoroughly dried before reinserting them into the shoes.

    Odor Prevention Tips for Barefoot Shoes

    Since barefoot shoes are often made from natural materials, odor buildup can be a common issue. Here’s how to prevent it:

    1. Air Out Regularly
    After wearing your barefoot shoes, remove the insoles and let both the shoes and insoles air out completely. Placing them in a dry, ventilated area will prevent moisture buildup and keep odors in check.

    2. Use Baking Soda
    Sprinkle a little baking soda inside your barefoot shoes after wearing them. Let it sit overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize any odors, then shake it out in the morning.

    3. Essential Oils for Freshness
    For a pleasant scent and natural antibacterial properties, add a drop of tea tree or lavender oil to a cotton ball and place it inside your shoes overnight. It’ll keep your barefoot shoes smelling fresh and clean.

    By following these simple cleaning and odor prevention steps, you’ll be able to keep your barefoot shoes in great condition for longer!

    What to Avoid When Cleaning Barefoot Shoes

    1. Hard Scrubbing: Excessive scrubbing can damage flexible materials.

    2. Direct Sunlight: Avoid sun exposure as it can weaken the materials.

    3. Harsh Detergents or Bleach: Stick to mild cleansers to prevent material damage.

    4. Long Soaks: Avoid soaking, as it may cause mold. Use an anti-mold spray if needed.
