Questions
Meadow questions, answered
How should I choose my size in the Meadow?
Most people fit true to size. Barefoot shoes can run slightly short, so if you are between sizes or have wider feet, size up half a size. Women and men are sized separately, switched with the Women and Men buttons at the top.
What are the Meadow made of and what are they best for?
They have a breathable leather upper with a soft fabric lining, an EVA insole, and a rubber outsole. They are made for everyday casual wear when you want a softer, cushioned leather feel.
How does the cushioned feel work with a barefoot design?
You still get zero drop and a wide toe box, so your foot moves naturally. The EVA insole just adds a little softness underfoot for extra comfort through a long day.
Do the leather Meadow need breaking in?
A little. Leather softens and molds to your foot over the first few wears. Start with shorter days and the fit becomes more personal over time.
How do I care for the leather?
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to lift dirt, then let them air dry away from direct heat. A little leather conditioner now and then keeps the upper supple. Keep them out of the washing machine.
Are the women's and men's Meadow different?
Same leather build and benefits. Sizing is separate for women and men, so switch with the Women and Men buttons at the top to see your fit.
What is your return policy?
You are covered by a 30 day money back guarantee. If they are not right, reach out within 30 days for a full refund. We ship to the US and CA.
