Plae

Barefoot brand from United States, founded 2012.

Plae is a US brand making mainly kids' shoes, from US size 5 toddler up to 4.5 youth, plus a smaller adult range. I like that most styles have interchangeable velcro tabs in four sizes and removable insoles, so you can adjust the fit, and there are sneakers, sandals and waterproof boots. They are zero-drop with the insole taken out, but the fit suits medium to narrow feet, so they sit more on the minimalist side than strictly barefoot.

Specialities: kids, toddlers, sandals, boots, adults

How Plae fits

sloped toe box, narrow width

Plae's own page says they fit true to size, though Mulberry runs small, so go up half a size there. The toe box looks tapered, so it suits medium to narrow feet better than wide ones. Try the removable insoles and the bigger velcro tabs if you need room.
