Just three months ago, we launched our first barefoot collection and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s been received. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s embraced this new journey with us.
From the beginning, we saw this phase as a trial period to understand how our community would respond to this new approach. The overwhelmingly positive feedback has encouraged us not only to continue, but to grow and evolve.
WE’RE COMMITTED TO IMPROVING AND CREATING
With everything we’ve learned in these first few months, we’re already working on refining many more details in our upcoming designs: cleaner finishes, better fits, and materials carefully chosen to enhance the barefoot feel. We want every new barefoot model to feel like a real evolution, without losing the essence that makes Dolfie unique.
NEW INSOLE OPTIONS
Up until now, all of our barefoot models have included two interchangeable insoles: one 3 mm and one 8 mm. We noticed that the 8 mm insole felt a bit too snug for some feet, so we’ve decided to replace it with a new 6 mm version for a more versatile fit.
From now on:
All new models will come with a 3 mm + 6 mm insole combo, better suited for most feet and daily wear.
For those who prefer more cushioning, height, or have lower-volume feet, the 8 mm insole will still be available for purchase separately.
Looking ahead to winter, we’ll also be offering thermal insoles and wool-lined options to keep your feet warm and cozy on colder days.
SUPERSONIC N7: NEW VERSION + NEW COLORS
Our Supersonic model has been a true bestseller. That’s why this September we’ll launch the upgraded version: Supersonic N7 – with cleaner lines, structural improvements, and six new colorways.
Starting with this collection, we’ll also be offering size 47, not just in Supersonic, but across all barefoot models, so more people can find their ideal fit.
Preorders will open in the coming weeks. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media so you don’t miss out, like most of all our drops, it will be a limited edition.
We’re also developing an even more minimalist version of the Supersonic, without the lightning bolt on the side. It’s part of our long-term vision and still in the design phase, but we can’t wait to share it with you when it’s ready.
SEPTEMBER RESTOCKS
In September, we’ll also be restocking two of your most-requested styles:
MC5 LTD 2 White and MC5 1 Black & White
Plus, we’ll introduce a very special Limited Edition colorway.
And this is just the beginning, more MC5 and MC5 LTD versions will follow in the future.
We’re also working on new colorways and editions of other beloved models like Zen and Dylan, which will roll out over time.
Our goal is to grow the barefoot family slowly and thoughtfully, always staying true to our style.
LOOKING TOWARD FALL/WINTER
We’re designing a range of barefoot shoes with colder months in mind: boots, loafers, and boat shoes, handcrafted from top-quality leather with true artisanal craftsmanship. For example, we’re designing a future version of the Zen model as a mid-cut boot with natural wool lining inside, perfect for the colder months.
We’re also developing a new, more flexible rubber sole with added width in the midfoot area. This new sole will be used in future Supersonic versions as well as in new upcoming models, to offer more space and comfort. It’s still in the design phase, so we can’t give a launch date just yet, but we wanted to give you a sneak peek.
DOLFIE BAREFOOT SANDALS
We know many of you were looking forward to our first barefoot sandals this summer, especially after seeing some sneak peeks on our social media. Unfortunately, the factory was unable to complete production on time due to extreme heat in Portugal, which forced them to reduce activity for worker safety.
As a result, we’ve had to postpone the launch until next spring/summer. We’re truly sorry for the delay and are grateful for your understanding.
MOVING FORWARD, STEP BY STEP
Our mission remains the same: to grow slowly, with care, honesty, and attention to every detail. New designs, fresh colors, more options, but always staying true to what makes Dolfie special.
Thank you for being part of this community that inspires us every day. We’re excited to walk this journey with you.
