Zero-Drop Design
Zero-drop sandals, where the heel and toe are at the same level, promote a more natural walking experience. The downside is that zero-drop sandals can initially cause discomfort or strain for those not used to minimal support as the feet adjust to the new posture. 

Ultra-Thin and Flexible Soles
The sandals have ultra-thin soles, making them lightweight and comfortable, which reduces the burden on your feet during long periods of wear. The flexibility of the soles allows for a greater range of motion in the foot.

Natural Walking
Natural walking refers to how our feet and body are designed to move without the interference of modern, heavily cushioned footwear. It involves landing on the midfoot or forefoot rather than the heel, promoting a more natural gait that can improve posture, balance, and overall foot health.

Strengthen Your Feet
Barefoot sandals support natural walking by providing minimal padding and allowing your feet to move freely. They mimic the feeling of walking barefoot, encouraging the use of your foot's intrinsic muscles. This helps strengthen your feet, improve flexibility, and enhance proprioception.

Feel the Earth Beneath Your Feet
These sandals provide greater freedom and a stronger connection to the great outdoors, allowing for improved sensory feedback.

Best for Soft Surfaces
Barefoot sandals are ideal for walking on natural terrains such as grass, dirt trails, sand, and pebbles. Hard surfaces tend to be rougher on your feet, and barefoot sandals will not absorb all the pressure put on your soles. 

Perfect when Traveling Light
They are ultra-light and easy to pack, taking up minimal space in your luggage. Our barefoot Bokynas are so flexible you can fold them to save even more space.

Using barefoot sandals without proper consideration may cause additional pain and discomfort. If you have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, severe hypermobility, musculoskeletal deformities, or peripheral neuropathy, consult a healthcare professional before wearing our barefoot sandals.

1. Start Slowly.Wear your barefoot sandals for short periods to gradually allow your feet to adjust to the new experience.
2. Increase Usage Gradually Day by Day.This helps your muscles adapt without overstraining.
3. Pay Attention to Your Body.Notice how your feet and body feel when you wear the sandals. You might feel muscles working that you haven't noticed before.
4. Transition Gently for Activities. Use the barefoot sandals for everyday activities before transitioning to more intense activities like walking or running.
5. Listen to Pain. If you experience pain, take it as a sign to slow down. Rest and gradually resume wearing the sandals.
6. Watch for Inflammation. Swelling, heat, and redness are signs of inflammation or injury. If these occur, give your feet time to heal completely before wearing the sandals again.
7. Be Patient.Give your body time to adapt. Transitioning to barefoot sandals requires patience and attention to how your body responds.
