SECURE PURCHASE SYSTEM

Free feet, free mind

The MC5 is a minimalist and versatile barefoot sneaker that looks conventional on the outside but is 100% barefoot inside, designed to free your toes and respect your foot’s natural shape.

Made with high-quality Italian hair-on cowhide leather and lined with premium natural leather, free from chemicals. Its hand-sewn Strobel construction ensures lightness, comfort, and flexibility. The 6 mm zero-drop sole, in flexible natural rubber, is stitched for durability and features an ocean wave-inspired design.

Includes two 100% recycled, breathable, antibacterial ADT insoles:

Insole 8 mm: for extra cushioning or barefoot transition.

Insole 3 mm: for a closer-to-the-ground feel.

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.
