BAREFOOT SNEAKERS
Barefoot sneakers give your feet more space and freedom than regular footwear. They are characterised by a wide toe box, where your toes have room to spread naturally, a flexible sole and zero drop – meaning the heel and toes are at the same height.
Aylla designs barefoot sneakers in the Czech Republic and has them made by experienced shoemakers in Portugal. You can choose from models for the city, leisure time or trips. They differ in materials, design and soles, so you can choose according to where you are most likely to wear them.

Barefoot sneakers for natural, comfortable steps
Barefoot sneakers are a great choice if you want to give your feet plenty of space. The wide toe box doesn't squeeze your toes together, while the flexible sole allows the shoe to move more naturally with your foot.
Sneakers don't have to look sporty, either. Aylla models combine a barefoot fit with clean urban design, leather, vegan materials or soles with a more pronounced tread for more demanding terrain.
How to choose barefoot sneakers
When choosing barefoot sneakers, focus mainly on the right size and on where and when you plan to wear them. This will help you choose the right materials and type of sole.
Fit and room for your toes
Our barefoot sneakers have a wider toe box and narrower heel and are suitable for regular to wider feet. Choosing the right size is just as important. Before ordering, measure both the length and width of your feet and remember to allow some extra room so your toes have enough space when walking.
Soles and how you'll use them
Not all barefoot sneakers need to handle the same conditions. That's why Aylla uses several types of soles – from lightweight, flexible soles for everyday city wear (such as KALLPA) to options with a more pronounced tread that can better handle unpaved paths (such as RURAQ). When choosing your pair, think about where you'll be wearing your sneakers most often.
Materials and seasons
Leather, textile or synthetic materials? Each behaves a little differently when worn. Leather models are durable and make versatile sneakers for the city, while lightweight textile sneakers are more breathable and especially comfortable on warmer days. You'll also find vegan options in our collection.

Frequently asked questions about barefoot sneakers
What makes a good pair of barefoot sneakers?
Good barefoot sneakers give your toes plenty of room and have a flexible sole and zero drop. Your feet can move naturally without being unnecessarily restricted.
How should barefoot sneakers fit?
Your toes shouldn't touch the front of your barefoot sneakers or be squeezed from the sides. At the same time, the shoe should fit securely around the heel without slipping when you walk. You'll find a size chart for every model; remember to allow some extra room when choosing your size.
Are barefoot sneakers suitable for everyday wear?
Aylla barefoot sneakers are designed for everyday wear. Choose the sole and material according to the environment you'll be wearing them in most often.
What's the difference between barefoot sneakers and conventional sneakers?
Barefoot sneakers have more room for the toes, a thinner and more flexible sole and zero drop. Conventional sneakers usually have a thicker sole, tend to be narrower around the toes and often have a raised heel.
