Unrestrictive Design

Move freely with a zero-drop sole, and our widest toe-box yet. Designed to improve balance, strength, and agility.

Grounding Technology

Earth-Link™ helps reduce stress, improve sleep, and support recovery by reconnecting you to the earth’s natural energy.

Step Into Comfort

A durable knit upper stretches and breathes, while the flexible sole and massaging insole keep feet comfy and fresh.

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.

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

Adapt Knit Trainers 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.

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.

    May be good for transition to barefoot, but not for vets

    I’ve been wearing barefoot style shoes for about 5 years, mostly vivobarefoot brand. I wanted to get a pair of cute shoes to walk in that had a bit more cushion but still had a wide toe box. This toe box is still on the narrower side. The sole is also really thick and more rigid than I was expecting. If you currently wear converse or vans and want something with a bit more wiggle room, this might work for you as a transition to barefoot shoe, especially if you have medium volume feet. If your feet are already used to more flexibility and space, this will probably be too tight. I have low volume feet and had to tighten them a lot with the laces, but still felt off. The mesh is also weirdly flexible, I feel like my toes might wear a hole. Decided to return as they are not the right for for me, but can understand that they do work for people. If you’re a veteran in wearing barefoot shoes, this will feel like going backwards.

    New ones run smaller than the first

    disappointed to be leaving a three star review however my newest shoes which are the second generation/the newest ones are smaller in size than the first ones. Generally, these shoes are very comfortable and I even shared with others that I could walk around Disneyland all day without getting tired in them, however, this time around the shoes are much smaller to the point that my big toe points out even when I’m sitting down. It is disappointing, especially because the shoe is not cheap.

    Constant quality control problems

    I have been buying flux for years however in the past 2 years I have had my last 2 pairs fall apart within a couple weeks of buying them. I love the concept and decided to give them another chance however the complete lack of quality control has forced me to look elsewhere , because at this price point I should not have to worry if my shoes are glued/ sown together completely. Very disappointing as I was a huge fan of the original trainers as this didn’t begin disintegrating immediately after getting them to dirty to use the warranty.

    Obsessed

    I am absolutely in love with every single thing about the shoe… My feet have never been happier. I was worried about the wider tow box, but it is truly a game changer. From strength training to Pickleball these are my new go to and I can’t wait to buy my next pair.
