Hi there!

What are some good, european, barefoot shoes brands. I already own a pair of vivobarefoot, but their peoducts are quite expensive, so i’m looking for some more affordable options as well.

Thanks!!

p.s. if you think there is a better place to ask this, let me know :D

edit: thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

    I would recommend Bohempia (made of Hemp), Groundies (beautiful), Zaqq (wide variety), Magical Shoes and Wildlings, of course. They are all European

    If you don’t have a problem with second hand, I’d recommend to check out Vinted. If you live in Germany you can also check Kleinanzeigen.

    I got several pairs of barefoot shoes in good condition there for relatively cheap.

    I had shoes from Leguano, Wildling, Merrell (US) and vivobarefoot.

      I would recommend buying used as well. Take a look at senmotic shoes. They are expensive but are also the most durable barefoot shoes I have found.

    Freet make durable barefoot shoes out of recycled materials for usually a pretty affordable price. They’re made in the UK.

    I’ve seen some bad reviews on /r/barefootrunning, but I’ve had very good experiences with xero shoes.

    My gf has leguano and is also happy with them.
