Product description
Durable, casual and breathable barefoot shoes
The large toe area of the Kuluba W barefoot shoes from Ballop allows your feet to maintain their natural position in the shoe, so your toes can move freely. This prevents your feet from being misaligned.
Equipped with a thin, flexible sole
The thin and flexible sole allows your feet to adapt to the terrain and the unevenness of the ground. This keeps your feet active, which not only strengthens your feet but also your calves. The flat sole ensures that the forefoot can touch the ground first and not the heel. This relieves the strain on your joints and eliminates vibration, which is particularly noticeable on the knees and back.
Plus, the toe area and heel are reinforced so that you can wear the shoes for a long time. They’re also breathable to ensure a good microclimate and guaranteed comfort.

These shoes seem very sturdy and well-made and the footbed is wide and comfortable. However, the ankle area fits very strangely. I've tried two sizes and both are very loose and uncomfortable at the ankle, no matter how tightly I lace them - there's something about the shape of it that digs in and causes a lot of discomfort. I tried wearing the shoes on a short walk to break them in a bit, but to no avail, so now I can't return them. They also don't seem to be breathable at all. Really disappointing.
