Before ordering shoes, we recommend you measure the length of your feet to find the right size. Our chart may help you, but does not guarantee that the shoes fit.
To ascertain your measurement, stand on a ruler against a wall. Your measurement should include the entire length of your foot, measured from heel to longest toe.
Please measure both feet, and choose your size based on the largest measurement.
If your foot length equals the maximum on any of the measurements, please choose the next size up.
Boots with wool lining might need to be ordered in the next size up to accommodate the wool.

Caring for your leather
Leather is skin, and skin needs care. We recommend that you apply a thin layer of leather conditioner or shoe cream at regular intervals. Don’t use too much at one time. It’s better to use a little less a bit more often. Let the shoe cream sit a few minutes and polish afterwards with a soft cloth. Use a shoehorn when you put your shoes on – they are easier to get on and the back will not be destroyed. Untie or unzip the shoes or boots completely when you remove them – so they are easier to pull off. It’s better for the shoes than trampling on them! If you care for your shoes regularly, you will enjoy them longer. Your shoes will be grateful for it.
If your shoes get wet
Store your shoes in a dry and airy place. If your shoes become wet, fill them with crumpled newspaper and let them air-dry. When they are completely dried, you can again apply leather conditioner or shoe cream. Leather shoes should not be dried on a radiator – the leather becomes dried out and porous. If the leather gets water stains, take a cloth and make the whole shoe slightly damp. Treat the leather afterwards as described above. It is best to change your shoes daily. Give your Duckfeet a day’s rest, so they can release the foot’s moisture and dry thoroughly.
If your shoe get dirty
If the shoes get dirty, clean them with a damp cloth. Let the shoes dry thoroughly and treat the leather again with shoe cream or leather conditioner. Be attentive to edges and seams, which should also be treated to maintain the leather and protect your shoes against water.
Caring for crepe rubber
Crepe rubber soles can become hard at low temperatures, but this can be avoided by storing the shoes at a temperature between 20-25C. If the soles become hard, you can place the shoes on a warm radiator, until the crepe rubber is soft again. Avoid contact with solvents. The rubber cannot tolerate it and can dissolve.
Really happy with the Vivo Barefoot Magna Light. The give the barefoot feel with great grip and fit around the ankles. The fit a broader foot and feel really comfortable. Love them!
I love the green colour and lilac lining. Its the perfect size, beaitifil strap and hardware and I can put glasses in a pocket so do t need a case for them and I can find them first dig!
On a recent trip to Melbourne we visited your store to get a feel for barefoot shoes and to see what all the fuss was about. We received wonderful service and got to try on a number of pairs to find the right fit and style. My partner and I were so impressed we walked away with a pair each and a good recommendation for strong coffee nearby. After that, I returned to the store to buy a second pair before heading home. Two weeks have passed and I haven't taken my barefoot/natural shoes off. My back pain has gone, as has my bunion pain. I work in events management and my feet often ache. My toes have started to straighten and find the ground in a whole new way. The sensations are returning to my feet and I cannot see myself wearing standard shoes any more. My partner and I are looking forward to expanding our collection and we can't thank you enough for your expert advice, professional service and amazing products. We highly recommend you to our family and friends now. Do yourself a favour if you're reading this review and free your toes today!!
It’s so surprising how something so minimal and thin becomes one of the most comfortable shoes I own. Really makes me realise that less is more, and natural is the way forward. I am using it for strength training and walking — it’s been about a month and it’s holding up well so far. My only wish is that they make these shoes more affordable!
Love my new Vivobarefoot shoes, they are the weatherproof edition so I can’t wait to try them in the wet weather. So comfy for every day too.
I was impressed with how quickly they were shipped out and updated along the way with tracking updates. Thank you very much very happy!

I've been thrashing my Duckfeet for over two months now. On footpaths, roads, and hiking trails, beaches, ice and snow...and they just continue to satisfy. No matter if the temps are -19º or 17º they keep my feet so dry and warm.
These babies have been on my feet almost constantly the last few weeks. They’ve climbed mountains, clambered rocks and walked beaches. They’ve accompanied my feet to dinner and have walked all over cities and through beautiful towns. They’ve been deliciously warm in sub-zero temps (but not hot on the warmer days) and so incredibly comfortable. Would recommend and buy again in more colours.
I just love these Hickies laces; they are so easy to slide on my runners & really comfortable. Great service & delivery from the Natural Shoe Store, I definitely will spend here again :)
These are hands down the best of the barefoot shoes I wear. Nothing comes close in terms of versatility and comfort. Some days I’ll have them on for a flight away for work and then keep them on for an arvo gym session or walk. Super light, highly flexible and extremely well made.
This is sixth pair of Nature shoes. I obviously love them. I have Hallux Rigidis in one foot, and find it hard to find shoes that feel good and look good. These Anna shoes do both! The soft leather and stiff soles mean I can wear them all day and feel no pain, and whenever I wear them, people compliment my shoes. Thank you Simon.
Immediately comfortable, no wearing in time. Supportive, easy to walk around galleries and botanic gardens. After initial suede care treatment, have been able to wipe clean any spots. The suede texture and subtle range of colours within the matt gold base makes them adaptable with many clothing choices.

Amazing comfort and durability

In hindsight taking into consideration they are lined, maybe i should have ordered a size up, am wearing them with barefeet ok,but with socks on i find things a little tight
