Transitioning to barefoot shoes 👣 – looking for stylish leather options for work + everyday wear (women, flat feet!)
Hi everyone!
I’m new to barefoot shoes and currently transitioning, so I’d really appreciate some guidance from people with experience 🙏
I have flat feet and I’m looking for comfortable, foot-shaped shoes that still look put-together for daily life and work. I sit most of the day, but I want something that doesn’t look too “sporty” or orthopedic.
What I’m looking for:
- Women’s styles
- Leather (or high-quality natural materials)
- Wide toe box
- Minimalist / barefoot feel (or transition-friendly)
- Good for flat feet
Styles I need:
Casual work shoes – something like moccasins / loafers / simple slip-ons
Everyday sneakers – more on the casual/dressy side (not gym-looking)
If you’ve found brands or specific models you love (especially for flat feet), I’d love to hear what worked for you and why!
Also open to any tips for transitioning safely 😊
Thank you!!
