Top Picks: The Best Barefoot Sandals Women Love for Everyday Wear
Lang.S (formerly Tikki Shoes)
Use BU10 for 10% discount
- Style: Feminine, minimal, and effortlessly elegant.
- Upper: Leather or vegan options (depending on model).
- Footbed: Leather or microfiber.
- Fastening: Velcro or buckle (model dependent).
- Fit: Best for medium-width feet, but can suit narrow to medium-wide feet; adaptable to different foot volumes, though Gaia and Soul work best for low to average insteps.
Lang.S sandals are one of our all-time favorites for their comfort, elegance, and reliable fit. Previously known as Tikki Shoes, Lang.S offers a refined collection of barefoot women’s sandals that combine style with all-day comfort. Their designs are perfect for women looking for a more dressed-up minimalist sandal that still respects natural foot shape.
The brand offers several models, including:
- Soul and Gaia, which fasten with velcro straps.
- Other styles with classic buckle closures.
All models share a soft, flexible sole with just the right amount of squish underfoot, making them feel incredibly comfortable for extended wear. Whether you’re walking around town or heading to a casual summer gathering, Lang.S sandals deliver on both looks and feel.
Feelgrounds
Use BU5 for 5% off
- Style: Minimalist, modern, and easy to pair with anything
- Upper: Cotton or faux leather
- Footbed: Cork or microfiber suede
- Fastening: Velcro strap
- Fit: Great for wide and extra wide feet, but also works surprisingly well for narrow feet; best suited for low to average instep height
The Feelgrounds Seaside are stylish barefoot women’s sandals that work beautifully for everyday wear. Seaside is one of our top barefoot sandal models—we reach for it over and over during the warmer months. With its clean design and secure velcro closure, it’s a go-to for anyone who wants a casual, foot-friendly sandal that doesn’t look too sporty.
You can choose between two footbed options: cork or microfiber suede. Cork gives a natural, breathable feel but may darken with wear, especially if exposed to moisture. It also makes the sandals feel more compact and slightly firmer, meaning they’re less flexible to roll up, but still very comfortable underfoot. The sole strikes a nice balance between firmness and softness—you won’t feel every pebble beneath you, so they’re a good choice if you want a bit of cushion without sacrificing ground connection.
Although the shape is generous enough for wide and extra wide feet, Tjaša (with extra narrow feet) also wears them comfortably. Just make sure to check the printable template before ordering, and pay attention to the toe post placement, especially if you have longer toes.

Zeazoo
Use BU10 for 10% discount
- Style: Soft leather barefoot sandals, elegant and customizable — great for everyday wear and special occasions
- Upper: Smooth, high-quality leather (including metallic options)
- Footbed/Sole: Leather footbed with Vibram sole
- Fastening: Buckle or velcro
- Fit: Best for narrow and medium-width feet; customizable fit when ordered directly from the brand
Zeazoo sandals are one of our personal go-tos, especially the Siren and Freya models. Their leather is incredibly soft and molds beautifully to the foot, making them ideal for both daily wear and dressier occasions. Available in a wide range of colors—including barefoot sandals in gold and other metallic finishes—they’re perfect if you’re looking for something eye-catching or event-ready.
What really makes Zeazoo stand out is their Vibram sole—our personal favorite for everyday barefoot sandals. It offers just the right amount of softness and squishiness underfoot without feeling unstable or overly cushioned. Walking in them feels smooth, grounded, and comfortable.
These sandals are best suited for narrow and medium-width feet, and if you order from their official website, you can even customize key fit details. We always choose to adjust the strap circumference across the toes and the ankle strap length to get that perfect personalized fit.
Be Lenka
Use BU5 for 5% off
- Style: Wide range of styles — from sporty to dressy
- Upper: Leather or vegan (varies by model)
- Footbed/Sole: Leather footbed; super thin, but firm sole (same across all models)
- Fastening: Mostly buckle closures with good adjustability
- Fit: Best for narrow to medium-width feet, especially with a strong toe slope
Be Lenka offers one of the broadest selections of barefoot sandals, from minimalist sport styles to more elegant, dressy models. Their sandals come in a variety of colors—including barefoot sandals in gold—which make them suitable not only for casual wear but also for occasions where you want something a little more polished.
All models share the same super thin, firmer sole, which gives good ground feel but isn’t the softest underfoot. It’s not our favorite sole from this list in terms of comfort, but it’s durable and gets the job done.
Most models feature buckle closures, allowing for a decent level of adjustability, which helps dial in the fit for different foot volumes.
Be Lenka sandals are best suited for narrow to medium-width feet, especially those with a pronounced slope toward the pinky toe. Among the range, Iris and Claire are the narrowest-fitting models and work particularly well for narrow feet.
Lonnie Sandals
Use BU10 for 10% off
- Style: Sleek, stylish, and fully vegan — perfect even for formal occasions
- Upper: Durable microfiber
- Footbed/Sole: Microfibre footbed; compact, flexible sole with light softness
- Fastening: Adjustable instep strap for secure fit
- Fit: Best for narrow and medium-width feet; excellent adjustability for low to high instep
Lonnie women’s barefoot sandals for women offer a rare combination of elegance and functionality. Made from durable vegan microfiber, they’re breathable, heat-regulating, and stylish enough to wear to special occasions, while still providing the secure fixation you’d expect for everyday barefoot wear.
The sole has good overall flexibility, though it’s less flexible longitudinally compared to some others. It offers mild softness underfoot, but feels a bit more compact than something like a Vibram sole. Still, it strikes a nice balance between structure and comfort.
One of Lonnie’s best features is the adjustable strap across the instep, which allows the sandals to fit a wide range of foot volumes—from low to high instep. They’re best suited for narrow and medium-width feet, and we recommend using their printable template to double-check sizing before ordering.

Softstar Shoes
- Style: Barefoot version of the classic Birkenstock look
- Upper: Premium leather with large buckles
- Footbed/Sole: Suede leather footbed; zero-drop, soft and slightly thicker sole; available in two thicknesses
- Fastening: Fully adjustable with buckles (two front straps + heel strap)
- Fit: Best for narrow to medium-width feet (up to medium-wide); slightly tapered at the big toe
The Softstar Camino is a barefoot-friendly twist on the iconic two-strap sandal. Handmade in the U.S., it features a soft, slightly cushioned sole, a wide foot-shaped base, and adjustable buckles for a secure fit.
It’s available in two sole thicknesses, so you can choose between more ground feel or added cushion. The thicker footbed feels foamy and squishy, making it a great option if you want extra comfort underfoot.
The heel strap adds stability, and all straps are adjustable. I had to tighten mine a bit to stop forward sliding, but once dialed in, the fit was great.
Fit-wise, the Camino is best for narrow to medium-width feet (up to medium-wide), but it does taper slightly near the big toe. Make sure there’s enough length to keep your big toe fully supported on the sole.
For reference, I wear US size 10 with foot dimensions 26.3 cm long and 10 cm wide.
Jenon Leather
Use BU10 for 10% discount
Style: Timeless handcrafted leather barefoot sandals with full customization available
Upper: High-quality leather in a wide range of colors
Footbed/Sole: Leather footbed; customizable sole thickness and softness
Fastening: Buckle or velcro (varies by model)
Fit: Standard sizes work for medium-width feet, but custom options make them suitable for extra wide, narrow, low, or high-volume feet
Jenon Leather sandals are an excellent choice if you’re after both quality and flexibility. Their standard sizes already fit well for medium-width feet (as shown in our photos), but what really sets them apart is the ability to fully customize the fit.
If you have hard-to-fit feet—whether they’re extra wide, narrow, high instep, or very shallow—Jenon can tailor the straps and sole shape to suit you. You can also choose from numerous leather colors and pick the sole thickness and softness to match your preferences. Want a softer sole for a more cushioned feel? Just select it when ordering.
This level of customization makes Jenon one of the best options for anyone looking for beautiful barefoot sandals that truly fit.
Saguaro
Use BU15 for 15% discount
- Style: Simple, elegant, and ultra-affordable
- Upper: Faux leather (available in silver or gold)
- Footbed/Sole: PU footbed; two sole versions — extra thin or with a foamy footbed
- Fastening: Velcro closure
- Fit: Excellent for narrow to medium-wide feet; exceptionally secure on-foot feel
The Saguaro Glow I are the most affordable barefoot sandals for women on this list, but don’t let the price fool you — these sandals feel incredibly secure on the foot, more so than many higher-end options we’ve tested. They’re available in two sole versions: one ultra-thin, and one with a slightly cushioned foamy footbed for a bit more comfort on hard ground.
Made from faux leather, the upper has a slight plasticky appearance, but the overall fit is excellent. The straps hug the foot well, offering a very stable, secure feel while walking — ideal if you often find sandals too loose or unstable.
That said, the plastic material underfoot can feel a bit irritating on hot days during extended wear, especially if your skin is sensitive. Still, for the price, the comfort and secure fit make Glow I a standout.
Best suited for narrow to medium-wide feet, these sandals are a solid pick for both beginners and budget-conscious barefoot enthusiasts.
Froddo
- Style: Simple, affordable leather barefoot sandals for women
- Upper: Leather
- Footbed/Sole: Leather footbed with Vibram sole
- Fastening: Velcro or buckle
- Fit: Great for narrow and medium-width feet; up to size EU 42
Froddo women’s barefoot sandals are a budget-friendly option that still delivers on quality and comfort. They offer two styles: one with a toe loop and one with a cross strap over the toes. Both are made from soft leather and sit on the Vibram sole—the same flexible, lightly cushioned sole used in Zeazoo sandals.
The toe loop model has a slightly unusual strap position that may feel awkward at first, but improves with wear. The cross strap version is a consistent favorite—my daughter has worn hers two years in a row with no complaints.
These sandals fit narrow and medium-width feet well, though sizing is limited to EU 42 max, so they may not work for women with longer feet.
Juuri
Use BU5 for 5% off
- Style: Customizable tie-up barefoot sandals with endless styling options
- Upper: Laces in viscose, linen, or leather
- Footbed/Sole: Leather or vegan; thin Vibram sole
- Fastening: 5-point lacing system with interchangeable straps
- Fit: Best for medium to medium-wide feet with a gentle toe slope; use sizing template for accuracy
Juuri sandals are a minimalist dream with maximum customization. If you could only own one pair of sandals—but wanted it to match every outfit—this would be it. With a 5-point tying system, multiple buckle/ring setups, and interchangeable laces in dozens of colors and materials, you can restyle your pair again and again.
They’re available in vegan and leather footbed versions, with a thin Vibram sole for great ground feel. The laces come in viscose, linen, and leather, with base colors included—additional lace colors are sold separately.
The toe box shape suits a gentler slope toward the pinky toe, making them a good match for many foot types. However, the toe strap placement affects final foot position, so we strongly recommend using their printable sizing template before ordering.
Juuri sandals work best for medium and medium-wide feet. Some extra width can be gained by sizing up, though a slight taper at the toe can limit space for especially wide feet.

Ahinsa
Use BU10 for 10% discount
- Style: Elegant vegan sandals with a subtle sparkle
- Upper: Vegan materials with decorative crystal accents
- Footbed/Sole: Soft, flexible sole with good ground feel
- Fastening: Buckle closure; front strap is fixed
- Fit: Best for narrow to medium-width feet; not ideal for wide or high-volume feet
Ahinsa sandals are a beautiful vegan option that combines barefoot comfort with a touch of elegance. The addition of tiny crystals gives them a dressier look—perfect for casual summer wear or slightly more formal occasions.
They feature a soft and flexible sole that moves well with your foot, providing great comfort for walking. The buckle closure offers decent adjustability, though the front strap is fixed, which can limit the fit if your forefoot is wide or high volume.
These sandals are best suited for narrow to medium-width feet with a lower to average instep height. If you have wider feet or high-volume feet, the fixed front strap may feel too restrictive.
Shapen
Use BOSENOGICE5 for 5% off
- Style: The most elegant leather barefoot sandals on the list — ideal for formal wear
- Upper: Leather
- Footbed/Sole: Thin sole with light firmness underfoot
- Fastening: Buckle or velcro, depending on the model
- Fit: Best for medium and wide feet; smaller sizes are wider
If you’re looking for women’s barefoot sandals that feel dressy enough for a wedding or formal event, Shapen is the brand to look at. Their sandals are refined and feminine, with thoughtful designs that pair beautifully with dresses and more polished outfits.
They offer several different styles, all made with a thin but firm sole that gives just enough feedback while still feeling supportive on harder surfaces. While the leather isn’t as high-end as some other brands featured in this post, the sandals still hold up well and deliver on comfort and aesthetics.
Shapen sandals work best for medium and wide feet, and in smaller sizes, the toe box shape is especially well-designed. In larger sizes, however, there may be some unwanted tapering at the big toe, so we recommend double-checking the shape if you have a pronounced big toe or a wider forefoot.
👉 Bonus: Shapen also offers barefoot closed toe sandals that match the same stylish aesthetic—perfect for when you want coverage without giving up style or foot freedom.
VIVOBAREFOOT
Use BUVIVO25 for 25% discount
- Style: Minimalist, casual leather barefoot sandals with clean lines
- Upper: Sturdy leather
- Footbed/Sole: Leather footbed; natural latex sole
- Fastening: Adjustable ankle and heel straps (velcro); front strap is fixed
- Fit: Best for narrow to medium-width feet with a stronger toe slope
The Sensus Yin is one of VIVOBAREFOOT’s newest barefoot sandal styles, launched this year. With its minimalist leather design and sturdier construction, it leans more casual than dressy, making it ideal for everyday wear.
The front strap is fixed, so these work best for feet with a narrow to medium width and a stronger slope toward the pinky toe. The ankle and heel straps adjust easily with velcro, allowing you to fine-tune the fit around the back of the foot.
If you’re looking for a barefoot sandal with simple styling and a more structured feel, the Sensus Yin is a solid choice from VIVOBAREFOOT’s lineup.
Groundies
Use BUGND15 for 15% off (valid until 8th December 2024)
- Style: A range of styles from casual to dressy
- Upper: Leather
- Footbed/Sole: Thin, firmer sole
- Fastening: Buckle or mostly fixed straps (not adjustable)
- Fit: Best for narrow feet with average volume; limited adjustability
Groundies offers a variety of barefoot sandal styles, from everyday casual to more polished, dressier options. While their designs are visually appealing, most models have a very specific fit and tend to work best for feet that match the shape and volume of the sandal exactly.
One important limitation is that strap lengths are usually not adjustable, which can make it harder to achieve a secure fit if your feet don’t match the intended proportions. If they do fit your feet well, though, Groundies sandals can be a solid choice.
The leather quality is average, and while the soles are thin, they’re on the firmer side.
Overall, Groundies sandals are best suited for narrow feet with average volume, and may not be ideal for those needing adjustability or more forgiving strap placements.
Final Thoughts
