Extras

Barefoot accessories

Toe socks, insoles, foot-care basics and a few tools that make the switch to barefoot easier.

  • Toe socks: reduce rubbing and odour in toe shoes.
  • Thin insoles: add a little comfort while you adapt — remove them later.
  • Toe spacers: help toes spread after years in narrow shoes.
  • Massage ball: roll under your foot after a run.
  • Foot balm: keeps skin supple if you go fully barefoot.

General information, not medical advice. If you have foot, ankle or knee problems, diabetes or poor circulation, speak to a GP or physiotherapist before switching to barefoot shoes.
