Free feet, free mind

Amazing experience

While I was choosing my next pair of shoes, I noticed there were no reviews on the site. So, I think it's important to share good experiences, too, so I'm delighted with my Shia pair. I'm a size 41, the widest part of my foot is 9.8 cm, and my foot is 26.3 cm long. The sizing chart is the best I've ever seen. These are my first pair of barefoot shoes, and I wear them with the two included insoles. I've gotten used to them very comfortably, and the laces hold my moderately wide foot perfectly. I was skeptical about the lining before ordering, but customer service kindly suggested using a water-repellent spray. It's often wet outside here, so I've been using them for six months now and am very pleased with the comfort they've brought to my life. The only thing is that the silicone has started to peel a little where the bend of my foot is, but it's not a big deal so far.

Sole: Outsole-grade leather midsole with EVA B-Light outsole / Zero Drop – 13 mm
Genuine Moccasin Construction - resoleable by a skilled cobbler


Notes: Due to the use of natural leathers and artisanal construction, subtle variations may appear, giving each pair its own unique character.

High-quality leather loafers may feel slightly firm at the heel at first. This is normal, and the leather softens quickly as it adapts to your foot. For a quicker break-in, wearing them at home for a few minutes with thicker socks can help the leather relax.

Approx. weight: 300g (EU 40)

Inside, Duke has slightly more volume than our other moccasin styles. For this reason, if you’re between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller one, especially for narrow/normal feet.
