A little more room. A flexible feel.
Freedom is a barefoot-inspired everyday shoe, made for the moments that fill your day: a neighborhood walk, a trip to the shops, one more stop on the way home.
Thin, flexible sole
Moves and bends with your foot
A flexible sole follows your step, with a low-profile shape that stays close to the ground. Heel and forefoot sit level on a zero-drop foundation.
"Very comfy... feel like I'm barefoot." Rochelle L.
Lightweight and breathable
A lighter feel
Breathable, lightweight materials shape to your foot for a "second skin" feel. Wear them with socks or without, whichever you like.
"Light as a feather, but tough." Julie V.
Quick-toggle laces
