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.

    Immediately my favorite

    I wish that they weren’t so expensive, but these are great shoes! Maybe a tiny bit tight on top of the foot. I’ll be looking for the daily trainers for work. And I’d love for Flux to make some sandals!

    New Favorite Shoes

    My PT recommended these shoes are doing physical therapy in their clinic the past year, and I have to say… these have lived up to the hype! Extremely comfy, perfect fit (12.5 and usually wear a 12 ), and love the bumpy massaging sole. Can’t wait to get another pair!

    Love from Day 1

    I was a bit skeptical at first, as I had Hoka shoes, which were mainly used for walking. I also used to own Vibram barefoot shoes, and I can say these are a perfect happy middle. Love the zero drop, massage insoles, wide toe, and how lightweight these shoes are! I have done 100K steps so far and am looking forward to getting another pair/color! The size fits what I have now, and I have a wide foot; I did not have to go up or down in size, and it fits perfectly!
