"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. In the event that the original item is out of stock or discontinued, we will issue a Flux gift card of equal value to the original purchase. Improper care, overuse, accidents, negligence, or normal wear and tear will not be covered by our warranty. Please reach out to orders@fluxfootwear.com for assistance!

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.

    Great. Shoe

    Only suggestion! Upgrade interior material around the heel and back of foot. Getting tiny knots after just. Week or two. This usually means they will wear out there far ahead of the rest of the shoe

    Unforgiving material and horrific customer service.

    We own five pairs of shoes from Flux and have worn them for a couple of years and have loved them. My first ever problem was with the new Adapt Graphene XT shoes in White. I own the runners and trainers in White, and they get dirty all the time, but with a quick wash or wipe down, they look brand new again. The first day that I put my new Graphene XT's on, they were show stoppers. I was out walking for work and crossed a gravel road that kicked up some dirt. One shoe I wiped down, and it was fine, and the other completely turned brown (not even the color of the road/dirt), and no wipe down or wash will save them. One wear, and they are embarrassing to wear now, and customer service said it wasn't their problem, and they were not willing to help. They might be living on the hype, but they will die by their customer service. I have contacted them twice, and once it took 3 days, and they stopped engaging after the second inquiry seeking help or advice.

    Didn't work for me

    I have the runners and love them but these didn't work for me. The fit was different, both size 12, and they folded over on the side? Like weird. See pic. Returned them.

    The greatest cross trainer

    This is by far my favorite cross trainer to date! Fits perfectly with ankle support where I need it and a nice roomy fit for my toes to splay out. With excellent traction for sled pushes/pulls, stability for plyometrics and an overall great fit, this shoe may live up to the indestructible claim!
