Barefoot shoes let your feet move the way they were built to. Three things make the difference.

Wide toe box

Room for your toes to spread, instead of being squeezed to a point.

0mm drop

Heel and toes sit on one level, the way you stand barefoot.

Good to know

Meridian questions, answered

What size should I order in the Meridian?

Most people fit true to size. Barefoot shoes can run a touch short, so if you are between sizes or have wider feet, size up half a size. Women use US Women's sizing and men use US Men's sizing, switched with the buttons at the top of the page.

What are the Meridian made of and what are they best for?

A breathable mesh upper sits over an ultra thin 4mm sole. They are made for warm season everyday wear, with a cushioned ergonomic feel that stays comfortable from morning to evening.

How thin is the 4mm sole and what will I feel?

Thin enough to feel the ground and let your foot move naturally, with just enough underfoot for daily pavement and floors. Combined with zero drop, you stand in a natural, level posture.

Do they need breaking in?

Very little. The mesh and flexible sole feel easy right away. If you are new to barefoot shoes, wear them for shorter stretches the first week so your feet adjust to the flatter, roomier fit.

How do I keep the mesh upper clean?

Wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them air dry away from heat. Do not machine dry them, since heat can warp the breathable upper.

How is the women's version different from the men's?

They share the same build and 4mm sole. Only the sizing scale differs. Pick Women or Men at the top of the page to see the right sizes for you.

What if they do not work out?
