"I get nervous ordering online with anything I wear… The Flux Adapt Runner delivered… feels natural to foot and perfect comfort. Size is true to fit. Wide toe box is perfect and the construction is on par with a popular Swiss shoe." - Max H."
I have never been a fan of shoes. No matter the brand, I end up with sore toes, sore midfoot, or blisters… or sometimes a mixture. I was skeptical of Flux shoes, but the minute I first put them on I could tell they were completely different. My toes no longer hurt… My arch and midfoot are comfortable. No blisters! The back is so sturdy, yet so flexible and easy to get on and off. Not sure how they do it. I walk/jog at least 5 miles per day and have a standing desk for work that I am now able to stand at almost all day. My feet never hurt." - Brittany S.

Our vision for a more freeing shoe didn’t exist. But we wouldn’t have gone down this path if we were afraid of being underdogs. After years of prototyping and development we discovered that a shoe our feet deserved wasn’t going to be cheap but to our surprise, at $139.99, it turned out to be less than some bigger brands.
No more over-engineering. Just research-backed design that moves with your feet, not against them.
A Different Approach to a Running Shoe
Featuring a roomier toebox to accommodate proper running form, from foot-strike to toe-off.
Concealed zero-drop (heel-to-toe height) allows your muscles and ligaments a natural, full range of motion.
Textured insoles have been shown to help reduce impact forces on the joints, which is why we applied our classic cushion pods to our new removable AdaptSol insole.
Yes, these shoes are flat from heel to toe, allowing your feet to land naturally.
"Barefoot shoes" is a general term for shoes that optimize the natural biomechanics of the human foot. To achieve that, our shoes feature excellent flexibility, zero-drop (no heel raise), and a generous toebox to accomodate the foot's natural shape.
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.
Yes! Many of our customers have successfully transitioned from traditional shoes to barefoot/minimalist shoes by wearing our shoes.
The Adapt Runner has a generous toebox, thanks to the Toe-Off shape which creates ample room for the toes throughout the gait cycle.
