But how do you find the perfect barefoot shoe for your needs?
Find the perfect barefoot shoe for you
We hope this short guide helps you choose the perfect barefoot shoe.
Feel free, feel ZAQQ.
Determine the purpose
Everyday shoes: For daily use, you should choose comfortable and stylish shoes that are suitable for various activities.
Running shoes: Barefoot running shoes should be lightweight, flexible, and breathable to provide you with a natural running feel. You can find exactly these here!
Hiking shoes: For outdoor adventures, robust shoes with good grip are ideal. Look here!
Choose the right fit
Every foot is different! A shoe that is too wide for one person may be too narrow for the next. Therefore, it is always important to take a few steps in the shoe.
Pay special attention to your toe freedom and the heel seat.
The barefoot shoe should not slip at the heel, but it should also not be too tight to avoid restricting natural freedom of movement.
Pay attention to the materials
Primarily, the choice of materials depends on your individual preferences. Of course, the purpose of use also plays a role. If you are looking for a waterproof barefoot shoe, some materials like cotton are not suitable.
To make our ZAQQs not only look perfect but also highly functional, we often use a combination of different materials.
