Bohempia barefoot shoes



Choose your barefoot shoes with care. Wrong size or fit can cause the shoes to wear off much faster. Warranty claims where wrong size choice is evident (for example toes pressed into the front of the shoe) cannot be accepted.

How to Measure

  • In case you find one of your feet longer or wider than the other, choose your size based on the larger foot.
  • Left foot often tends to be a little bigger than the right foot.
  • Measure your feet at the end of the day as feet are likely to get larger through the day.

How to Properly Measure Your Feet

Prepare: sheet of paper (A4 size), pencil, ruler

 

 

  • If you are still unsure of the size, you can print out the individual insoles in the size chart.
  • Please pay attention to 100% print resolution and A4 format. You can check the correctness of resolution on the insole print.
  • Note that the feel of the shoe can also be influenced by other factors like the volume and shape of the foot, personal preference etc.

Standard or wide?

Bohempia barefoot shoes come in two widths. The standard width is designed for average/narrow feet and for those who are just starting out with barefoot footwear. The wide option is suitable for those who have also been looking for shoes labeled as wide in conventional footwear, or those who have been wearing barefoot shoes for a long time and their feet have naturally expanded. The standard version is not specifically marked (when choosing a size simply e.g. 36). Wide sizes are marked w (e.g. 36w).

 

Why the extra space?

In barefoot shoes, it is recommended to have some free space around our feet. The reason is that barefoot shoes should allow our feet work naturally instead of restricting their movement in any way. Keep in mind not to add too much space. Although the barefoot shoe should give you enough space to walk naturally, it is important that it isn’t too loose and you don’t feel like you have to hold the shoe in place with your toes while walking. Because of having that extra space, the insole can sometimes start sliding in the shoe. In this case, we recommend securing the insole with double-sided tape. We do not glue our insoles in so that you can replace them with new ones after they wear out.

 

Tips for choosing the right fit

  • If you had problems in the past with shoes feeling too loose or too tight over the instep, go for a model with more lacing so that you have room for adjustment (have a look at FELIX, HERLIK, ORIK or HOSKA).
  • If you sometimes get scratched ankles from shoes, we recommend going for a shoe model with a padded collar to minimise the risk (check out FELIX, VELIK or VIKLA).
  • If you are just starting with barefoot shoes and are not used to the wider look, try FELIX, where the toe-box style visually narrows the shoe.
