Shapen

Barefoot brand from Slovakia, founded 2018.

Shapen is a Slovak brand that began in 2017 with dressy barefoot shoes for women and has since added unisex sneakers and boots up to EU47. I'd look here for stylish ballet flats, sandals, sneakers and boots with a wide toe box and flexible sole. Some of the dressier women's styles come in regular and wide widths, and they also sell socks and a few accessories.

How Shapen fits

square toe box, multiple width, high volume

I'd say Shapen suits wide, higher volume feet best, and it often runs long, so reviewers commonly drop a size in boots and the Poppy. Always check each model's own chart, as regular and wide fittings differ, and keep an insole handy for low volume feet.
