Why barefoot shoes?
The feeling of not wearing shoes
Preserving the natural shape of the foot
The large toe area allows the foot to maintain its natural position in the shoe, so your toes can take their natural position without restriction. This helps to prevent foot deformities.
Walking in barefoot shoes allows you to walk with a straight back.
Strengthening foot muscles
We strengthen the muscles and flexibility of the foot and develop its proprioception. The thin and flexible sole allows your feet to adapt to the terrain and surface irregularities. Your foot is active, which not only strengthens your feet but also your calves.
Natural foot rolling
In barefoot or minimalist shoes, the foot moves from the forefoot, rather than from the heel to the forefoot.
The flat or zero-drop sole ensures that the forefoot touches the ground first, not the heel. This relieves pressure on our entire skeleton and joints, eliminating impact on the joints, especially in the knees and back.
Wearing minimalist shoes with toe socks further improves the natural alignment of your toes, making the shoes even more comfortable and giving your feet even more freedom of movement.
Ballop barefoot line comprises incredibly light-weight, custom-fit and functional casual footwear for all conceivable outdoor activities! The special design stimulates your muscles to balance on uneven, sloping ground which leads to strong tendons and ligaments. Thus, our barefoot shoes help improving your overall motor skills. High-functional materials and a complex manufacturing process guarantee the best possible wearing comfort and long-lasting durability.
Our newest wool barefoot line presents the Corso model which is made of predominantly close-to-nature and renewable materials. Soft sheep's wool keeps your feet cosily warm especially at lower temperatures. Due to the seamless gum rubber outsole, you get the greatest protection in dangerous ground conditions without foregoing the genuine barefoot feeling and a jaunty gait.
Caution: This model runs small, please order one size larger than usual!
