Welcome to the Vivobarefoot Size Guide! Vivobarefoot's shoes fit 'big' deliberately – we call this ‘the rule of thumb’. Your toes need wiggle room! This is especially important for running. If you can fit your thumb in-between the end of your toe and the front of the shoe, you’ve more than likely found your ideal size.
**After some time with these shoes, your shoe size may need to increase, as your toes splay out more naturally.**
Please note there are different size charts EU, UK and US for Womens, Mens and Toddlers, Kids and Junior sizes.

THE SCIENCE
When wearing Vivobarefoot, which closely replicates the barefoot condition allowing feet and toes space to move freely, adult feet may grow over months and years as feet and toes splay to a more natural shape and feet strengthen.
In addition, feet do keep growing, up to 0.5 size a decade and even after 40. So please measure your feet! An extra 6-14mm toe allowance may seem excessive, but science suggests:
- Kids' feet grow between 5mm and 11mm a year between the ages of 6 and 16; we recommend 6 months growing room plus room for natural movement.
- Adults' and Teenagers' feet can grow by up to a size, 7-8mm or more, as a result of exercise and time of day. (Wider higher arched feet grow more than narrower lower arched feet)
- Some of us prefer additional space beyond 14mm to accommodate width or simply because we like a spacious fit.
- In the crossover sizes (EU40-43) men with narrower feet may prefer the women's fit and women with wider feet may prefer the mens. We experience this in store on a daily basis.
Please make sure you find your size using the appropriate size chart (men's and women's sizing is different)
FIT PREFERENCE
Whilst we recommend 6-14mm, the amount of space you have will depend on how the length of your feet compares to the sizing
The ideal fit for you will depend on how wide your feet are and/or if you prefer your footwear to fit snug or spacious.
NARROW FEET/SNUG FIT:
Our research suggests that if you measure to the top end of the 6-14mm suggested toe allowance; for example, if you have 12mm but have narrow feet and/or prefer a more snug fit, you may prefer a size down. We suggest at least 4mm toe allowance, even for the narrowest feet.
WIDE FEET/LOOSE FIT:
If you have wide feet and or prefer a spacious ‘roomier’ fit, you may prefer to have more than 14mm space at the front.
Caution: Risk of trips and falls is increased with additional length therefore we advise caution when transitioning into wearing your preferred size footwear if it is larger than you’re used to. Many Vivobarefoot customers have very wide feet and enjoy 20mm toe space without any issue, we simply advise caution if you are new to wearing a more natural fit.
OUR FOOTWEAR IS FOOT SHAPED NOT SHOE SHAPED
WHY? Vivobarefoot are wide and thin – balance and physical function improve as feet splay and feel. Vivobarefoot are super flexible - feet get stronger as feet move more, toes and arches included! It is the combination of wide, thin and flexible which leads to all the benefits.
Increasing foot strength both reduces the risk of foot deformities and injury (Garth et al., 1989, Curtis et al., 2021) and is associated with improvements in balance and stability; especially for the elderly (pink et al., 2011, Cudejko., 2020). Also, children who run barefoot jump higher with shorter contact times (Mizushima, 2020).
Vivobarefoot make footwear which gets as close to barefoot as you can, so you can balance, feel and move. We believe in footwear which regenerates feet and planet. We do not believe in band aids for feet or planet. Our footwear is supernatural foot shaped not shoe shaped.

This is my 3rd pair of Faborgs. I love them due to their craftsmanship, comfort and beautiful colours! Most comfy boots EVER! 100% recommend
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.
Arhus duckfeet boots are stunning & comfortable, my second pair.
Love my boots ❤❤
Amazing customer service and the shoes are super comfortable.
i love my new shoes x 2 and wear them day and night. i’ll be buying a 3rd pair very soon ♥️
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.
