Hi there!

What are some good, european, barefoot shoes brands. I already own a pair of vivobarefoot, but their peoducts are quite expensive, so i’m looking for some more affordable options as well.

Thanks!!

p.s. if you think there is a better place to ask this, let me know :D

edit: thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

    If you don’t have a problem with second hand, I’d recommend to check out Vinted. If you live in Germany you can also check Kleinanzeigen.

    I got several pairs of barefoot shoes in good condition there for relatively cheap.

    I had shoes from Leguano, Wildling, Merrell (US) and vivobarefoot.

      I would recommend buying used as well. Take a look at senmotic shoes. They are expensive but are also the most durable barefoot shoes I have found.

    I would recommend Bohempia (made of Hemp), Groundies (beautiful), Zaqq (wide variety), Magical Shoes and Wildlings, of course. They are all European

    Leguano is very comfy and super quality, but comes with a high price.

    Groundies are comfy and look really cool - people don’t notice its barefood shoes and the price is reasonable.

    Ballop are the most comfortable shoes I ever had, but for my taste they are not as beautiful as leguanos and groundies. Price is reasonable.

    I’ve seen some bad reviews on /r/barefootrunning, but I’ve had very good experiences with xero shoes.

    My gf has leguano and is also happy with them.

    Check out revivo for cheaper(ish) vivos that would have been landfill. Dunno much about European brands other than that
