Types of barefoot sandal

Barefoot sandals range from a thin sole tied on with a cord to a full sport sandal with adjustable straps. The more straps, the more secure they feel on rough ground.

  • Huaraches: a thin sole and a lace or strap, very close to barefoot.
  • Sport sandals: adjustable straps and a grippier sole for walking and hiking.
  • Slides and flip-flops: easy on and off for the beach and the garden.

Getting the fit right

Your foot should sit fully on the sole with no toes over the edge, and the straps should hold your heel so you are not gripping with your toes. Some brands make sandals to the outline of your own foot.

Can I hike in barefoot sandals?

Some sport-style barefoot sandals are made for it. Look for a grippy sole and straps that hold your heel firmly.
