The barefoot shoe you’ll reach for every day.

CWB takes its name from Causeway Bay, one of Hong Kong’s busiest and most iconic neighbourhoods, where work, creativity and city life intersect. We wanted to create a barefoot shoe that belongs in that environment: one that looks at home in the office, on weekend adventures and everywhere in between. Handmade in Taiwan from premium genuine leather, CWB delivers the complete barefoot experience with a wide toe box, zero-drop platform and flexible outsole, making natural movement part of your everyday routine.

 Premium Leather

Premium Leather. Naturally Better.

Crafted from premium genuine leather, CWB ages beautifully with every step. Unlike synthetics, leather naturally moulds to the unique shape of your feet, creating a personalised fit that becomes more comfortable over time. Leather also breathes, it helps regulate moisture and temperature, keeping your feet cool in warmer weather and comfortable throughout the day.

Material

  • Premium Genuine Leather Upper
  • Durable Natural Rubber Outsole
Handmade in Taiwan

Crafted with Precision. Built to Last.

Every pair of CWB is handcrafted in Taiwan by experienced shoemakers who put quality before quantity. From the stitching to the finishing details, every pair is carefully assembled to deliver exceptional durability, comfort and craftsmanship. It’s a shoe made to accompany you day in, day out, becoming better with every wear.

Wide Toe Box & Zero Drop

Move the Way Nature Intended.

Conventional shoes narrow the forefoot and raise the heel. CWB does neither.

The anatomical wide toe box gives your toes room to splay, steadying every step, while the zero-drop platform keeps your heel and forefoot level to encourage a more natural posture and walking pattern. Together, they allow your feet to move the way they were designed to.

Barefoot Essentials

  • Anatomical Wide Toe Box
  • Zero-Drop Platform (0 mm Heel-to-Toe Drop)
Thin & Flexible 7 mm Outsole

Feel More. Move Better.

CWB features a thin 7 mm outsole that brings you closer to the ground without sacrificing everyday durability. It bends with your foot on every step, so you flex, stabilise and adapt to whatever surface you're on. No thick cushioning, no rigid support: your own foot muscles do the work, and they get stronger for it.

Outsole

  • 7 mm Thin Sole
  • Highly Flexible Construction
  • Enhanced Ground Feel
Lightweight & Breathable

Comfort You Forget You’re Wearing.

CWB is built for all-day wear: all the durability of genuine leather, at a weight that barely registers. The leather upper breathes on its own, moving heat and moisture out so your feet stay comfortable in any season. Commuting, travelling, standing through a long day, every step stays light.

Day In. Day Out.

One Pair. Every Occasion.

From your morning commute to weekend coffee runs, business meetings to overseas adventures, CWB was designed to simplify your wardrobe. Its clean silhouette pairs naturally with almost anything, making it the one pair you’ll keep reaching for—because great footwear shouldn’t force you to choose between style and comfort.

The Complete Barefoot Experience.

CWB is our purest expression of barefoot footwear.

  • Wide Toe Box.
  • Zero Drop.
  • Thin & Flexible Sole.
  • No unnecessary support.
  • No elevated heel.

Just your feet moving the way nature intended. Every step encourages better awareness, stronger foot muscles and more natural movement—simply by living your everyday life.

Crafted by Hand. Made to Last.

Every pair of CWB is individually handmade in Taiwan by experienced craftsmen using premium genuine leather. Unlike mass-produced footwear, each pair receives careful attention throughout the production process, creating a shoe that is refined, durable and uniquely yours. As the leather ages, it develops character and gradually molds to the shape of your feet—becoming even more comfortable with every step.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How do I choose the right size?

Stand barefoot with your heel against a wall and measure the distance from the wall to your longest toe, measure both feet and use the longer one. Then compare your measurement with our Size Guide to find your recommended size.

Download our Size Guide for detailed measuring instructions and sizing recommendations.

Is CWB suitable for first-time barefoot shoe wearers?

Absolutely. Many of our customers started their barefoot journey with CWB. As a true barefoot shoe featuring a wide toe box, zero-drop platform and thin flexible outsole, we recommend easing into the transition by wearing it for shorter periods at first and gradually increasing your wear time. If you prefer a little more cushioning during the transition, EZ01 is also available as our transitional barefoot model.

Can I wear CWB to work or even the gym?

Yes. The leather silhouette works with office attire and smart casual outfits, and the flexible, zero-drop sole moves naturally through light workouts and strength training. One pair covers the whole day, desk to gym.

Why is genuine leather used instead of synthetic materials?

Leather is durable, breathes on its own, mould to your feet over time. The long you wear CWB, the softer the leather gets and the better it fits your feet, which synthetic cannot do.

What makes CWB different from conventional leather shoes?

Traditional leather shoes often feature narrow toe boxes, raised heels and stiff soles. CWB combines premium leather craftsmanship with barefoot principles:including a wide toe box, zero-drop platform and flexible outsole. The result is a shoe that looks timeless while allowing your feet to move naturally.
