About Barefoot Shoes Ireland
Helping people rediscover natural movement, one step at a time.
Our Story
Barefoot Shoes Ireland was born from a simple belief: your feet deserve better.
We started this journey because we saw too many people suffering from foot pain, discomfort, and problems caused by conventional footwear. Flat feet. Plantar fasciitis. Sensitive feet that couldn't find relief. We knew there was a better way.
That better way is barefoot shoes – footwear designed to work with your feet, not against them.
What We Do
We're Ireland's trusted source for authentic European barefoot footwear. We carefully curate shoes from Europe's leading barefoot brands:
-
Leguano – Renowned for comfort and German engineering
-
Belenka – Stylish Slovak craftsmanship
-
Barebarics – Premium quality and durability
Every pair we sell is genuine, sourced directly from trusted European suppliers. No compromises, no imitations – just authentic barefoot shoes that deliver real results.
Who We Serve
Our typical customer is someone aged 25-60 (often women) who's tired of foot pain and ready to try something different. They come to us with:
- Chronic foot problems like flat feet or plantar fasciitis
- Frustration with uncomfortable conventional shoes
- Curiosity about barefoot footwear but uncertainty about where to start
- A desire for healthier, more natural movement
80% of our customers are first-time barefoot shoe buyers. They trust us to guide them through this transition, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Why We're Different
We Actually Care About Getting It Right
Wrong sizing is the biggest challenge in barefoot footwear because every brand fits differently. That's why we:
- Provide individual size charts for each brand
- Offer personalized sizing advice
- Respond to questions within 24 hours
- Create educational content to support your transition
We're Educators, Not Just Sellers
Every week, we send educational content to help our customers:
- Transition safely to barefoot shoes
- Understand foot health and natural movement
- Choose the right shoes for their needs
- Get the most from their barefoot footwear
Our customers actually read these emails (30% open rate!) because we focus on genuine value, not just sales pitches.
