The 5 Best Barefoot Shoes for Men & Women

Warm weather means it’s time to swap out your cozy boots for lightweight sneakers. And if you love feeling the breeze as much as we do, you might want to skip socks altogether.

 

We design all of our slip-on shoes and sneakers for barefoot wear by using materials that breathe and feel soft against your skin (i.e. less sweating and uncomfortable rubbing).

 

The best part? You can throw our footbeds right into the washer to keep things fresh. Here are the top 5 OluKai barefoot shoes for men and women that will make wearing socks a thing of the past.
