This is my top pick for a barefoot dress shoe. The Oxblood is my favorite color, but I also have it in Honey and both look great. The leather is high quality and feels premium. What really stands out is how they mastered the design. They truly figure...

These boots really impressed me. The shape makes a lot of sense. They’re very comfortable and roomy without looking bulky. They actually look sharp, which isn’t always the case with barefoot shoes. One thing to note: with the insole left in, the sole...
