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.

    Best shoes I’ve ever had

    The zero drop and wide toes makes everything worth it. I walked London for 10 days straight and my feet never hurt because of the shoes (I should have worn toe socks). Literally 20,000 steps and usually I have to switch between sneakers - only brought the one pair and it was perfect. About to buy another!

    Loved them but…

    Really loved these sneakers and the cushioned footbed. Used them for walking but sad that the soles wore out so quickly on them and only have had a few months.

    Best shoes ever

    Got these for me and my husband for a 4 day trip to Disney + love love love love LOVED them. I walked 25,000 minimum per day and my feet were BARELY aching at the end of the day. I would recommend these 10000000000x over to everyone.

    Fit wise, I did have to size up. Typically a 9 and I bought a 10 because I had ordered my normal size and they fit smaller than my normal. I gave the smaller ones to my sister and ordered another pair because even the small ones with the comfiest thing I have ever put on lol

    Also SUPER cute for a wide toe shoe. Very stylish and looked good with quite literally all of my outfits 😍

    Great shoes for work

    I love these shoes. They saved my feet. I thought there was something wrong because my feet would hurt so bad during my work shifts. I thought wearing a narrow shoe was best since I have skinny feet but I was wrong. I am on my feet for 6-8 hours a day and I switched to FLUX and my feet have had very minimal pain after work shifts. Just got a second pair for at home use. Make sure you aize up at least 1/2 a size. Love love love!

    Holes in soles in less than 90 days

    Bought two pairs of shoes when they were on sale, the water proof runners and adapt Trail. I am an accountant with young children that basically walks to the park everyday. I don't jog, run marathons, or even wear them all day. 50 hours a week I am in dress shoes. Both pairs of these shoes already have holes after roughly 6 months (90 days each) in the soles near my toe. I saw they warranty their product for 1 year for defects so I sent pictures to see if they would send me another pair or make things right. They only offered a 20% discount which the website also offered when I clicked on it. Looks like I will be finding a new brand.
