Natural Movement

Barefoot shoes with zero-drop, a wide toe box, and just the right amount of stretch will allow your feet to revel in newfound freedom.

Unmatched Comfort

The AdaptSol™ insole includes over 100 nodes that massage your feet and provide comfort with every step.

Flexible Traction

Lightweight and cushioned. The rubber AdaptTread™ outsole provides the ultimate traction for any adventure.

Modern shoes limit your mobility. Natural movement shoes let them move as they should—building strength, improving balance, and supporting posture. With a wide toe box and zero-drop design, they help you move freely, comfortably, and naturally.

The amount of time it takes to transition to barefoot shoes varies for each individual, as everyone's feet are different and may adapt to the new shoes at different rates. However, the following general guidelines can help:

  • Gradual transition: Gradually increasing the amount of time you spend in barefoot shoes can help reduce discomfort and allow your feet to adjust to the new sensation of walking without shoes.
  • Start small: Begin by wearing barefoot shoes for a few hours at a time and gradually increase the duration as your feet get used to them.
  • Listen to your body: Pay attention to any discomfort or pain you experience while wearing barefoot shoes. If you experience discomfort, take a break and switch back to your regular shoes for a few days.
  • Give it time: It can take several weeks or even months for your feet to fully adjust to barefoot shoes, so be patient and persistent.

Keep in mind that everyone's feet are different and the transition time may vary. It's important to listen to your body and adjust accordingly to ensure a comfortable transition to barefoot shoes.

A wide toe box refers to the space at the front of a shoe, allowing the toes to align and spread naturally. This design helps reduce pressure on the toes, improving foot function and comfort. Flux shoes have a generous toe-box, thanks to the toe-off shape which creates ample room for the toes throughout the gait cycle.

Adapt Runners fit small for most. We recommend sizing up a 1/2 size for the best fit. For more details, refer to our size chart for guidance on finding your perfect fit.

Machine Washable: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. If using a top-loading machine, place on top of laundry load. Let air dry, out of direct sunlight. Do not machine-dry. This will also freshen up and re-animate the interior foam. For white shoes, to preserve the color, we recommend treating the shoe with a water/stain repellent spray prior to wear. Do not use bleach.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these shoes are exceptionally comfortable right out of the box, with many noting they feel like walking barefoot. The wide toe box is frequently praised for accommodating bunions and providing natural toe movement. Users report excellent support for long shifts, with nurses and healthcare workers particularly appreciating their all-day comfort. Many mention sizing up half a size for the best fit. Common feedback includes lightweight feel, slip-on convenience, and durability over extended wear. Some note the shoes are easy to clean and machine washable. A few customers mention concerns about heel wear over time and tightness around the ankle initially, though most find they break in well.

    Exactly what I was looking for.

    These were highly recommended to me so I went for it. I’ve been wearing them for about a week and love them already.

    Comfort but heel wears quickly

    Love the comfort of the shoes. I have flat feet & have issues with plantar fasciitis. I wear them almost daily otherwise I’m barefoot. The only issue I have is the heel has worn rather quickly. The ones I have now are a year old. Wishing the heel lasted longer- because the last couple of months it’s become uncomfortable. The rest of the shoe has held up very well. Feel like it (heels) should have lasted longer.

    3 days at Disney with no pain

    I was skeptical when I first purchased these shoes. I wore them for 2 weeks before my trip and found them to be very comfortable. I just returned from Disney and while my friends were complaining about foot pain after 10k steps, I still felt great at 20k. Plus, when I got drenched on Tiana’s Bayous Adventure, I was soaked everywhere but my feet!
