Description

The Original Knit combines all the benefits of a barefoot shoe with a sleek and stylish look. Its knit upper comes with a slightly water-repellent treatment, which makes this model a great all-round sneaker. The spacious toe box respects the shape of your feet, and our flexible sneaker sole allows your foot to move as it is supposed to.

This model features our improved sole material for increased durability. Read more about the sole update on our blog.

Materials

All materials and dyes tested to EU REACH standards: recycled PET (upper, laces, lining), recyclable rubber (sole), microfiber (heel lining)

Measurements

Weight per shoe: 260 g / 9.2 oz (Size US W11.5/M10), Sole thickness / stack height: 5 mm / 0.2 in

If you are a barefoot shoe beginner, consider inserting one of our insoles (available separately in our online store).

Care Instructions

To clean your Original Knit, remove all loose dirt with a soft shoe brush. If necessary, go in with a clean, soft brush to apply some lukewarm water and a mild cleaning solution. Wipe any excess product with a moist cloth. Air dry at room temperature after cleaning or when the shoes get wet.

Make sure to regularly renew the water-repellent treatment, using a waterproofing spray. For best performance, we also recommend spraying them before you first wear them.

The Original Knit is not machine washable, as this removes its water-repellent properties and might cause the upper material to lose its shape.

Great shoes

I’m very happy with these shoes. It’s hard to keep it white as it for any white shoes. You can feel well the ground, but are protected well from the gravels etc. Recommend!

Preferred the old version

My first pair of these were the first pair of shoes I've ever liked. They felt like they were custom made for me. The new version is slightly longer when compared side by side but now it hits parts of my toes (possibly due to new stitching) on the sides and is not totally comfortable.

Hi C.B.,

Thank you for sharing your feedback!

We wanted to let you know that while we have optimized the sole material in the new version, there have been no changes to the cut, stitching, or measurements of the shoe. To help us assess the size difference, could you kindly send us a photo via feelgrounds.com/contact showing both shoes placed sole to sole, with the heels flat on the ground? One shoe should be from the previous model and the other from your newly ordered pair. Can you please also add a picture of the label from the old shoe? You can find it on the tongue, on the inside of the shoe. Thanky ou in advance.

Additionally, it's also possible that your feet may have widened slightly due to the consistent use of barefoot shoes, as they tend to allow your feet to return to their natural shape. If you’re experiencing discomfort, it might be worth checking the fit or considering different sock thicknesses. Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need assistance!

Best regards,
Christin
