No More Debris

Our AdaptKnit™ upper is flexible and stretchy, plus it keeps pesky debris out while allowing air in.

Grounding Technology

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

Tackle Any Terrain

Trinity Tread boosts traction on tough terrain, ensuring confident navigation over roots, rocks, and any obstacles.

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.

Earth-Link is grounding tech that reconnects you to the Earth’s natural energy. By transferring electrons from the ground, it helps reduce stress and inflammation, improve sleep, and boost recovery.

  • Enhances Connection to the Ground: Grounding (or earthing) allows the body to absorb electrons from the earth, which may help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support recovery.
  • May Reduce Stress & Fatigue: Some research suggests grounding can help regulate circadian rhythms, leading to better sleep and reduced fatigue.
  • Improves Stability & Balance: A direct sensory connection to the ground enhances proprioception, helping you react faster and stay balanced in motion.

Adapt Trail 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.

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. Do not machine wash.

    My fourth pair and still happy!

    I've been wearing the Adapt Trail Runner for the past year through several 50 miler and 100k races plus training. I've been very happy with their performance. I this pair in a half size larger for a multi-day FKT. I was a little more nervous to use this shoe on my attempt because I knew I would have a good portion of the route on road, and I was worried my feet would get tired since they're not really a high cushion shoe. The bulk of the route was very technical trail, so I still needed the grip and flexibility of a trail shoe. I was pleasantly surprised that my feet were just fine! I felt I had enough cushion and enough space. I even have calcium deposits in my Achilles tendon, so I was concerned about several days in a zero drop, but no issues. Whew! I also wore my normal pair of trail runners last weekend on a very very wet and technical course, and they performed just great, as always. No blisters, no hot spots, I feel secure on technical downhills, and just a really great shoe. Thank you!!!!

    Best shoes ever!

    I bought these shoes when I had plantar fasciitis and these were the only thing that worked for me! They are so comfortable and I love the messaging insert.

    First time buyer

    My husband has a pair and he loves them. I’ve been looking for a long distance walking shoe that isn’t overloaded with thick soles or a bulky exterior. For me, I prefer a barefoot experience and these are great. A little snug at the opening but I know they’ll break in over time. Ordering 2 more pair while you have clearance colors!
