Product & Fit
More about our product and size guide.
How do I choose the right size?
Please refer to our Size Guide before placing your order. We generally recommend choosing based on your foot length rather than your usual shoe size.
Are Urbanroot shoes true to size?
Most customers find Urbanroot fits true to size. Because barefoot shoes have a naturally wider toe box, the size they need may not be the same as the conventional shoes, this is a result of the intentional rommier toe box which allows your toes to spread naturally.
What makes Urbanroot different from other barefoot shoes?
Urbanroot combines natural foot movement with everyday style.
Our shoes are designed to blend seamlessly into modern urban life, so you can enjoy the benefits of barefoot movement without compromising your style.
How do I clean my Urbanroot shoes?
We recommend hand cleaning with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this may affect the materials.
Products
Below are some common questions about our products
What are barefoot shoes?
Barefoot shoes are designed to let your feet move the way nature intended. Unlike conventional shoes with thick cushioning and elevated heels, barefoot shoes feature a wide toe box, minimal cushioning, and a low or zero-drop sole to encourage more natural movement and stronger feet.
Why should I wear barefoot shoes?
Your feet are the foundation of your body. Healthy feet can contribute to better balance, stronger foot muscles, improved posture, and more natural movement throughout your day.
Are barefoot shoes good for everyday wear?
Absolutely. We designed Urbanroot for daily life, not just workouts. Whether you’re commuting, working, travelling, or exploring the city, barefoot shoes can become part of your everyday routine.
Will my feet hurt when switching to barefoot shoes?
Your feet may feel different at first because they are beginning to work harder than they would in conventional cushioned shoes. This is a normal part of the adaptation process.
We recommend starting with shorter walks, wearing them on alternate days and gradually increasing your wearing time as your feet become stronger.
I’m completely new to barefoot shoes. Which model should I choose?
We recommend EZ01.
It was specifically designed as a transitional barefoot shoe with a removable insole, allowing you to gradually reduce cushioning as your feet adapt. It’s the easiest way to experience barefoot shoes without making an abrupt change.
Can I run or exercise in barefoot shoes?
Yes. Many people use barefoot shoes for walking, gym training, hiking, and running. However, if you’re new to barefoot footwear, we recommend allowing your feet time to adapt before doing high-impact activities.
