The most common dilemma one is faced with when switching from conventional footwear to barefoot shoes is the shoe design. We love minimalism, clean lines, and premium materials and we had looked in vain for barefoot shoes meeting such criteria. That's why we decided to make them! We hope you like our new models and we are sure that with your help we shall succeed in making them!
We were dreaming about quality footwear meeting all necessary barefoot criteria, having a unique design, lasting long and being made in fair conditions for a reasonable price. So that we no longer have to decide between comfort, health and beauty!
We have prepared 4 models for you (click on the "more" button below to see full offer):

COZY – we offer these wool-insulated, winter shoes made of hydrophobic leather (oiled nubuck) for women and men in three colors and sizes 36 - 46. Oiled nubuck has water-repellent properties, is more practical than other types of leather and suitable for everyday wear.
To achieve excellence one must pay attention to details. That's why we use quality materials, pay attention to their combinations, precision of cutting, sewing, comfort and ergonomics.
We are aware of a rising demand for quality and ecological leather alternatives. Sneakers and knee-high boots will be made of materials very similar to real leather. Because of their visual and durability aspect these materials are the perfect vegan alternative. Those who love real leather can buy our insulated lace-up shoes.
Our shoes meet all barefoot requirements. They have an anatomical shape with enough space for all toes and a zero drop between the heel and the toe. They have a thin outsole (3.5 mm + 2 mm treat) for a real barefoot experience. Shoes are flexible in all directions and very lightweight. They also have a soft insole and head counter. These shoes will last long thanks to a stitched outsole.
It is not easy to make barefoot shoes without a compromise. It took us two years to develop them. First we have developed an ideal anatomical barefoot shoe shape together with the Czech lasts makers. We have designed shoes and outsoles in Slovakia. To find the required quality, technology and production facilities we had to go as far as Portugal, the country with a long tradition of shoe making. We have spent hours and hours designing new shoes, testing them, making prototypes, adjusting and improving them. The team of experienced professionals helped us to successfully implement our vision.
Everything that is necessary is ready. Now there is only one last step to take. With your support, we will be able to launch the production of our first collection of barefoot shoes with new outsoles.
We will start sending rewards to the fastest and fast orders at the beginning of November. We believe that all of them will be sent by Christmas so you can find them under your christmas tree. The remaining rewards will be sent by the end of March 2023.
After the end of the Hithit campaign, we will send you an email with a unique code. You will visit our e-shop, where you will be able to take a good look at your shoes in detail. You choose the size, color, put them in the basket and copy the code that came to you by e-mail into the Discount code field. The price of the shoes is automatically adjusted to 0 EUR. You will only pay the costs of its transportation. We offer several shipping options, it's up to you which one you choose.
Barefoot shoes offer all benefits of barefoot walking, they prevent feet injuries and keep your feet nice and warm. They give your feet space and freedom. They have a soft, thin and very flexible outsole. Thus you can feel the terrain unevenness and your feet have to work more strenuously.

Since 2019 the SHAPEN Company has followed the latest fashion trends and has made healthy shoes more elegant and stylish. Our ballerina shoes and sandals have literally conquered the world and thousands of happy customers across the world wear them.
Mia is a founder of SHAPEN Company and she has been committed to barefoot more than 10 years. She became interested in healthy footwear when she was looking for suitable shoes for her daughter. Later she tried barefoot walking herself and this helped her to solve her problems with flat feet, back pain and headaches. Before long her whole family started to wear barefoot shoes. Due to the lack of beautiful barefoot shoes on the market she and her husband decided to start their own brand of barefoot footwear.
We found a valuable customer and barefoot community feedback very helpful for our shoe making. We have added a dozen of new models to our collection and we have improved our customer service, quality control and delivery speed. Hence you can be sure that after receiving your shoes you will be able to return them within 30 days or to make a warranty claim.
Barefoot is not just footwear for us. It is a unique idea, community and lifestyle. Thanks to this strong community built around healthy shoes even a small family company like ours can make its dreams come true.
Now we would like to ask the barefoot community, our loyal as well as new customers for their support. Please take the next step to the the world of barefoot walking with us!
