To stop the beads from potentially sliding off one end as you are tying another, use a small piece of tape to act as a bead stopper. Trim any visible excess thread on each end of the knot using a pair of cuticle scissors for more accuracy. Be careful not to cut your toe ring or anklet as you trim. Step on a piece of paper, leaning forward to ensure that your foot is completely flat. Trace around your foot, extending the area on the ball of your foot and inside the big toe slightly for some allowance.
Use the scissors to cut around the tracing, then place the pattern onto the sole material and trace around it using a pencil. Cut your way around the sole and then use a marker to make two marks between the first toe and second toe while standing on the sole. You will also need to make a mark just in front of the ankle bone as well as on the edge of the sole. The next step is to use a rotary leather punch to punch out a toe hole and two ankle holes on the marks that you had made.
Depending on the lace material that you choose to use, you may have to cut the ends into a point. If you are using nylon, heat the ends of the lace with a flame and shape them to be pointy. Push one of the ends of the lace through the toe hole that you made from the top to the bottom. To thread the ankles, start by passing the lace through the hole you made near the ankle bone first, from top to bottom, then pass it through the hole in front of the ankle bone. You will then be able to insert your foot in the sandals and tie them as you please.
Barefoot sandals are a great option for those who prefer to little to no padding on the feet. They are versatile, allowing you to wear them to a variety of casual occasions, plus you can easily make your own pair from the comfort of your home if you have the right materials.

Good idea! Those are the Luna Brujita! I wish we could carry them all! Yes, Shapen Barefoot has some! Thank you! Hey Josie! Deliberate Life Designs are pretty unobtrusive between the toes, as are Shamma. Thanks for the kind words! This is in direct contrast to most shoes which might have a 20 mm high heel and a 15 mm high toe box The benefits to a zero-drop shoe that people have experienced include less knee pain, better ankle agility, improved posture, balance, and even drastic improvements in lower body strength.
Left: zero-drop sandal Right: "classic" sandals with elevated heel. Anything thicker than 12 mm and you will not get that real "barefoot feel".
It will be more like a shoe. I personally prefer soles in the mm range. The thinner the sole, the more flexible a sandal will be. Ultra-thin soles are the closest resemblance to walking barefoot. Once you get used to them, you'll never want to go back. Instead, feet are supposed to feel and naturally adjust to the grooves of the earth, with the soles acting more like barriers for added protection against nature's elements.
Most minimalist sandals weigh less than half the weight of boots or running shoes. For example, pairs made from leather will naturally be heavier than pairs made from synthetic materials.
How about Chacos? Chacos are zero drop too, but they weigh around 2 lbs 32 oz. That is way too much! Again, a heavy and thick sandal won't resemble being barefoot. Unshoes Wokova weighing in at 11 ounces. Why we like them: Perfect for running or hiking, the Oso features a thick sole, durable build and an adjustable strap with extra lacing to ensure a close, secure fit. Luna Sandals launched soon after Born to Run was released.

They come with a non-slip MGT footbed, Vibram soles and a bit more lacing than other sandals for a secure foot hold. The most unique thing about these is the quality - these sandals have been really really well designed for running. These will be my go to sandals in See on lunasandals. Why we like them: A top brand in minimalist sandals, the Z trail by Xero shoes stays flexible and keeps things simple with its light and packable design, ultra-thin sole, and comfortable footbed.
Xero Shoes have become one of the barefoot sandal leaders, especially after appearing on Shark Tank. They make some impressively flexible sandals that can roll up in to your pocket.
I could not believe how much I could actually feel the ground in these. These are the only pair on our list that have a horizontal non-thong strap. The footbed is roomy and very comfortable, and the heel cup helps to keeps debris out when walking outside. Each pair comes with a 5, mile warranty so feel free to crush some miles in them. If the toe thong isn't your thing it can take time to get used to and, honestly, is not my preference , checkout their Z-Trail and Z-Trek models.

Great sandals, the pictures here don' t do them justice, in real life they are much nicer looking. Great colour, light brownish, easily goes with everything.
Very thin and flexible sole and soft straps, highly recommend them. Sara Verified customer. Dorothea Verified customer.
I ordered the sandals from the US and therefore was a bit anxious about the delivery. I was very surprised about how fast they were delivered. The sandals do not only look great they are also extremely comfortable. The material is natural leather which is the best for the hot climate we live in. They fit perfectly because they are adjustable. Normally sandals are too loose for my feet but these sit perfectly.
I could not be happier. I absolutely love them and I will definitely order from belenka again. I immediately wanted to order also a pair for my husband but unfortunately it seems belenka does not produce men's sandals. Tereza Verified customer. Melissa Verified customer.

Good efficient service. Jitske Verified customer. Aliz Verified customer. Florence Verified customer. I really appreciate the comfort of the shoes. However, I am a bit disappointed by the color : I chose red sandals and in my opinion, it looks more pink than red Elisa Armuzzi Verified customer. I love the softness of the leather they're made with, the colour and the design. I find them comphortable. Only one downside: the front edge of sole that is very flexible tends to get stuck when I walk on asphalt with consequent risk of tripping.
That didn't occur on smoother surfaces. Ayesha Mayadas Verified customer. These are so pretty and yet, in my second summer of trying to wear them, I was unsuccessful.
