"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."

Verified Buyer

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.

Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon arranged in a honeycomb pattern. It’s the strongest material ever discovered—200x stronger than steel—yet incredibly thin, light, and flexible. Helping you push the limits of durability and responsiveness.

  • Durability where you need it most: We infused graphene into the outsole—where most training shoes break down first. That means better performance over time and fewer failures during key movements like lifts, sled drives, or lateral hops.
  • No compromise on weight or feel: Most "durable" shoes add bulk. Graphene delivers toughness without the heaviness, so you stay agile and locked in.
  • More confidence in movement: Better grip + longer lifespan = train harder without worrying about your gear giving out.

If you believe there is a manufacturing defect within 1 year of your original purchase, we’ll replace the product free of charge.

Freedom To Move

Designed for natural movement, with a zero-drop sole and wide toe box that let your feet move freely and your body stay aligned. Every lift and lunge feels more stable and connected from the ground up.

Built For Intensity

Reinforced with Graphene-Pro, a material 200x stronger than steel yet incredibly thin, light, and flexible, the outsole is infused in high-impact zones to deliver next-level grip and long-lasting durability.

Cool, Strong, Adaptive

A high-performance ballistic mesh upper—built for airflow, durability, and stretch—so your feet stay cool and supported. A low-profile, flexible outsole adapts to every move, delivering grip and ground feel without the bulk.

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.

Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon arranged in a honeycomb pattern. It’s the strongest material ever discovered—200x stronger than steel—yet incredibly thin, light, and flexible. Helping you push the limits of durability and responsiveness.

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.

Zero-drop means the heel and toe of the shoe are level, promoting a more natural foot position and stride.

Adapt Graphene XT 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.

Spot Cleaning: Using water, mild soap, and a soft bristled brush or microfiber cloth, focus on the particularly dirty areas (outsole or on the shoe). Do not use bleach.

    Immediately Comfortable!!

    I have worn flat shoes for a long time. These have to be the best I’ve ever experienced. Immediately comfortable. They are snug on the heel in a good supportive way, and the wide toe box is perfect. The insole with the trigger point bumps is the real game changer. I have an issue with raising my big toe when I walk and these kept my toes relaxed. I love these shoes. Seriously they have become my new favorite shoe. They are so comfortable I want to wear them with no socks.

    Already love them

    I'm pleased to be the first review! I ordered these the day they were announced & received them one week later. Sizing up a half size was perfect. I wore these for a strength workout today & felt very stable throughout the workout. I'm used to wearing barefoot shoes for workouts, so these felt natural. Really enjoying the feeling of the insole; that's something I haven't gotten in past barefoot shoes! I've been wanting to pull the trigger on a pair of Flux & am happy I have! My positive experience w/ this style will likely lead me to purchasing the other styles once the colorway I want is back in my size.
