Ursus [Low-Top]

What makes a good “barefoot” shoe? The two ideas might seem contradictory, but there is no reason why they can’t complement each other.

Wide Toe-Box
Zero Drop
Lightweight
Extreme Grip

SIZING

We believe that everyone should spend as much time barefoot as possible for health and performance purposes. However, there are a number of obvious reasons why people don’t want to go completely barefoot all the time.

Because of this, we have created a perfectly shaped, natural feeling, ultra-minimalist shoe. And although we designed this shoe with strength training in mind, the Ursus can be used in almost any application.

The further we've “advanced” in footwear, the less natural our shoes have become. Modern feet are nothing like the feet of our ancestors. It's about time we get back to our roots and make shoes that actually let our feet function like they are supposed to. Shoes should not cripple and atrophy our feet. They should provide the bare minimum of protection and let the foot do its job.

Our focus is on function first: Wide Toe-Box, Thin Outsoles and Durable Materials that are also Flexible & Lightweight. THEN we gave the shoe to have a simple, classic style. Many minimalist shoes sacrifice one for the other. We gave the Ursus an uncomplicated design which looks good and complements the strengths of your feet.

Enjoy a no-nonsense shoe that works with your feet rather than against them. Enjoy the Ursus [LT].

Had mine on backorder for a while but they were worth the wait. They're far more comfortable than they look and allow the best ground contact I've ever had with a shoe in the squat.

Michael C.

Great shoes for squats (and deadlifts). For squats, grip is more than enough, and allows you to spread your toes and apply the right pressure between heel and toes without rolling the shoe. Wish I would have gotten two pairs, one for the gym and one to wear all the time.

Mike L.

Great for everyday wear! A little tight on my feet but they are stretching out and fitting better every day

Brady C.

SIZE UP ONE HALF SIZE FROM BRANNOCK!!!

Lori B.

Love love love my shoe's. Our gym here in Montana many of us ware them daily for your work out. Thanks again on responding to my email when I messed up on the address.

Nicholas M.

Love these shoes. I feel far more anchored when dead lifting and especially when squatting. The wider toe box if far superior to other shoes. I highly recommend these shoes for anyone considering them.

Jonathan B.

All the benefits of squatting in my socks plus a comfortable grip. Not afraid to slip and break my back on the wooden deadlift station anymore!

Nikolas M.

Not only are these amazing shoes but, they're made by an amazing company. The shoes are awesome and extremely comfortable. Unfortunately I recently had a bad house fire, the shoes were not destroyed however, they were covered by fire suppressant chemicals. When I contacted the company about the best way to clean the shoes, they sent me a brand new pair completely free. I would recommend these shoes for anyone that wants a great natural lifting shoe from a great company.

Cole T.

Unbelievable grip and comfort for any task you throw at them.

Wilson M.

Love the shoes so far. When I bought them, I intentionally got them a half size smaller than I do for other shoes because I read in a bunch of places they would stretch and more or less mold to my feet. When I got them, they were indeed a bit small; the front of the shoe pressed on the front of my big toe a little bit. However, three weeks later (after wearing it as my normal walking shoe as well as my lifting shoe), this issue has resolved itself. I can definitely feel the difference between this pair and the shoes I wore before buying the Ursus shoe. Final note: I emailed support about potentially exchanging for a half size up if it didn't stretch out like I expected. They immediately said to let them know if I needed a return label for an exchange. No complaints on the shoes or the customer support after purchase. :D

Scott S.

I love these shoes! I was quite surprised by the quality of the shoe all around. They fit amazing and are very comfortable. The sizing chart was a bit off for me saying that I was a size 8.5, I'm normally a 9.5-10. I ended up with a 9.5 and it's perfect! I only wish I had another pair to wear out and about as I don't want to ruin my current ones with use in snow and mud from Minnesota weather.

Lance M.

I love these shoes! I'm able to feel a really good connection to the floor during my lifts. I was doing these in just socks, but was always nervous about slipping. The soles of these shoes take away that nervousness. My wife calls these my lifting slippers, and I think she called it right. They are just as comfortable as slippers, but durable and sturdy enough to squat and deadlift in. 10/10 recommend

Hinda M.

Love these shoes! Definitely measure your feet to find your right size. I am normally an 8 in women's shoes, but ordered a 7.5/9 in these and they fit perfectly. I totally understand why they’re back ordered. Worth every penny!

Patrick M.

They finally made it. They fit perfectly. helping me with squat resting position which assisting me to improve my squat Hoping to return to 450lb plus. Awesome grip and hugging feel on my foot. Thanks again

michael b.

I like the idea of the shoe. But for me with an average width foot, it is too wide. The laces are almost completely together and I can't quite get it snug enough. Wish this was made in an average width with the wide toe box.

Allan A.

Shoes are very comfortable and grip very well.

Jonathan A.

Most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. Great build quality.

Andrew R.

Got these shoes as a new lifting shoe and they’ve turned into my daily’s. Amazing quality and love the fit and feel.

Kristian H.

These shoes are the real deal. I had to send the 9 1/2‘s back because they were just too small, but the 10s fit perfect, and they’re literally unlike anything else on the market. Feeling grounded or rooted….If you don’t know what this means put a pair of these babies on and you will understand. I am absolutely over the moon happy. Customer for life. Get these now, thank me later.

Melisa S.

My son does weight lifting daily & follows a physical therapist that recommends your shoes. My son was over the moon about them when I gave them to him. I ordered in late January & didn’t get them until beginning of April, so it missed his March birthday.

Allan P.

Very generous space for wide feet, but also fits just right. Strongest and the most grounded I've ever felt across my squat/bench/deadlift.

michael b.

Shoe is to wide for normal width feet. I am a D width. In order to start to get the shoe snug, The laces are almost touching. I wish they had gone with the wide toe box, but used a more normal width for the instep portion.

Donny H.

Great grip on bottom Felt amazing during squat workout. Well made

Brandon F.

very comfortable, great grip, perfect lifting shoe

Cole S.

Fit a little small to be a 12 but really great shoe will buy again

Charlie O.

Great product. Love the shoes. Comfortable, fit as expected. The backorders were long but worth the wait. Customer service was good to work with on the Bearfoot side. Route insurance was a waste of money; they were useless when I had order issues.

Josh H.

I’ve had super wide feet with small toes my whole life could never find a favorite showing. Bought me some bear foot shoes and I gotta force myself not to wear them everywhere. Best shoe ever!

Connie R.

I bought these for my son's birthday and he tells me hw loves them.

Ben A.

Really happy with my pair of Ursus. I can already feel the difference in my squat and deadlifts. I'm much more connected to the ground than I was with my previous shoes.

Alisha M.

I was able to square heavier than usual without any knee pain! Love these

Diana E.

I herd about these shoes from squatuniversity who recommended them. I have bilateral bunions , wear a size 6 in womens so I got a size 4, and I always have trouble finding shoes that feel comfortable with everyday activities. They feel very roomy by the toes and I am able to wear the correct toes with them without any problems. I am a crossfitter and these shoes felt very comfortable with my my lifts and metcon workout. First day wearing them I did not have any foot pain. I would recommend them.

Timothy B.

I always had trouble with narrow shoes and needing to buy bigger sized shoes than what I needed. These shoes fit perfectly with their wide toe box.

Cade M.

Weird looking shoe as little people are used to shoes with a wide toe box, however, these things fit/feel incredible. Worth the wait!

Chris W.

I love these shoes! Definitely a forever customer with Bearfoot!

Andrew W.

Have only had them two days but I really do like them. The only thing I don’t like is the limited color options. Would recommend

Neda I.

Very nice looking shoes very comfortable

pamela y.

I feel I can grab the ground and press through my feet much better on my lifts with theses shoes!!

Phillip M.

I have mostly used them around the house and love them. They are really comfortable and odd looking (aka great) so I am enjoying them. I am learning how to keep them clean as so many things will cause a spot.

Patrick D.

Feels great, walking, lifting just feel better

Faisal A.

first of all, I would like to thank bearfoot staff for their excellent service, answering customers inquiries and endless support. I ordered this shoe for gym and training purposes.. but after wearing it for some time, i can say its one of the most comfortable shoes i have ever wore, its wide box helps keeping foot on natural shape, i can feel the ground and feeling the stability as well. I liked it so much that it turn into my everyday shoes, i even started wearing it for work. Looks very good , totally recommend it.

Bracha B.

Love these shoes!

Johannes L.

Haven't been able to find a thin, flat, good grip shoe until now. Excellent grip too really improved my bench

Patrick A.

I got these shoes a few months ago because of Dr. Aaron Horschigs recommendation. They are amazing! I looked at a lot of the reviews and people said to get a size up but they had limited inventory when I purchased so I got my normal size. I was worried at first that they wouldn't fit but I put my hand in the shoe and pulled up on the top of the toe area to stretch it out a bit. After that they fit perfectly.

jong u h.

퍽 예~~ so good

Dominic B.

Bought them for my upcoming powerlifting comp to train with in the gym. Turned into my everyday shoe. Love them

david h.

The only “problem” with these shoes is once you wear bearfoot shoes they ruin all other shoes for you.

Sandra G.

The wide toe box is amazing! Feels like I'm barefoot in the gym. Can't go shoeless at the YMCA, so this is the next best thing! I've dealt with feet pain this year, and I'm hoping these help return my feet to their natural state.

Amanda T.

I love these shoes! I was lifting just in my chucks, but my toes were starting to get sore after all these years. These shoes have helped my feet and in turn my lifts so much in the last few weeks! Now I need the high tops!

Leanne P.

Really impressed with the shape, especially the wide toe box. Good quality laces too

Christian K.

Fantastic grip and feel for minimalist shoe. Top notch, really

Antonia L.

Firstly I was unsure which size to get - from chatting with Bearfoot through Instagram I was given a suggestion and they were very helpful. Received my shoes and wow they are so comfortable. The sizing suggested was almost perfect! A couple of mms too large, but that's ok for me for now. I can wear toe separators without discomfort and with slightly thicker socks the size fits great. I ordered them for lifting/training but am wearing them everywhere now. My toes have never been happier.

Christopher H.

Love these fucking things

Liz P.

Love the shoes! They look and feel great. The only thing is I wish they were a little wider because I have wide feet. Otherwise they are very comfortable.

Laura S.

Comfortable. Grippy sole, wide toebox, feet feel free and able to sense and grab the floor during lifts.

Jody C.

My wife won’t take them off!

Jody C.

Perfect for lifting!

phil l.

I saw these on Aaron's feet at Squat University YouTube channel and Tried them. I immediately bought a second pair. I do all my lifting and workouts in them. This includes sprints and my favorite "Chase the Dog" . I have no foot, back, hip or leg pain and My knees are about bullet proof now and pain free. Pretty good for a 63 year old.

Giannine M.

No more freezing toes! I love that these shoes give me the benefit of a barefoot lift while keeping my toes warm in my basement gym!

Clifton M.

Love these shoes. I get some funny looks because of the gummy bear color, but it’s a great conversation starter. They are like being bare footed.

Charles J.

Awesome shoes! had multiple a few people at the gym ask me about them. Very comfortable, grippy and so far have held up very well.

Marguerite H.

Customer service not the best but shakes ar

Catherine M.

The shoes are super comfortable, grip the ground well, have good quality upper material, and the customer service was fantastic! They got my sizes exchanged without a hassle. Even sent replacement laces free when the new pair had a manufacturing snag. Thanks! Love my new lifting shoes!

Zachary H.

Hand downs the best shoes I’ve had for the gym. I’ve used multiple pairs of vans and chucks and these are way better.

Tommy F.

Amazing quality. Super good fit. Great lifts with these shoes.

Clark B.

These shoes are not only great lifting shoes, but just great shoes!! I wear them everywhere that permits it, avoiding them on rainy days so that nice suede stays the way it is. But if I’m not at work or walking through puddles, these shoes are on my feet. Socks take away from the dexterity the shoe provides so I usually don’t wear socks if I don’t need to, and surprisingly they haven’t gotten smelly at all. Absolutely love these shoes and am very proud of the product. I would definitely (and do) recommend these shoes to anyone going the barefoot route. Don’t just go barefoot, go Bearfoot!

lane C.

Both myself and my wife wear when training, good product. Lace on her pair needed to be replaced, promptly handled

Tim K.

Showed up quickly, reasonable price, super comfortable shoe, fit true to measurements. Comes with a bit of an odd "new shoe" smell, but that went away.

Hunter G.

Size was too small, re-ordered correct size. Cool shoes, looking forward to wearing them once they arrive.

Cameron S.

Pricing chart is WAY off. I measured my foot at home and the size (according to the chart) is still off. Trying to return but they won’t respond much. As far as quality of the shoes? ABSOLUTELY worth every penny. Very crisp lightweight minimalist design with quality materials… which is why I’m so upset that I have a pair I can’t wear and they are helping me to return

Tj S.

LOVE THESE SHOES!!!! At first my socks didnt slide into the shoes very well and made my toes extremely uncomfortable. I switched to wool socks and the socks dont grip the inside of the shoe, they slide right in, easy peasy! So I'd recommend against cotton socks, get some good wool socks, i use the Darn Tough brand. I have stupid wide feet and nothing fits me, my feet hang off the soles of every shoe and boot ive tried. These shoes are shaped LIKE MY ACTUAL FOOT!!! mind totally blown. These are supremely comfortable and I have been wearing them in and out of the gym. I can feel my feet moving and toes spreading out with each step, its strange, since im ysed to my feet being in a vise, but this feels very good and very natural. I typically wear 10.5 - 11 EE WIDE, and the bearfoot size 11 fits splendidly. You will not be sorry with these shoes. Im def buying more!!!

Michal Z.

Very happy with my purchase! I did not know what size to order, according to the size chart diagram, I was 8, but ordered both 8 and 8.5. 8.5 were a better fit. The return was easy as 123. They are very comfy, stylish and my feet feel free during my workout thanks to the wide toe box. Definitely recommended. Very nice communication from the customer service as well.

Lori W.

I really like the shoes! They seem to run a little short. I usually wear a womens 7.5 so the sizing chart recommended a mens 6. My toes hit the top and I considered exchanging for a bigger size but didn't want them to flop around. They seem to have stretched a tiny bit or maybe just forming to my feet so they are more comfortable as I have worn them many times. They have good traction and are soft and flexible.

David M.

BEST BEARFOOT SHOE OUT THERE! For the price you cannot go wrong! I have 2, one for the gym one for everyday. On top of that their customer service is amazing

Lucas S.

I like to workout sans shoes and can’t do that at a gym (pic is a home workout) and these shoes are amazing…comfortable I couldn’t ask for anything better honestly

Skye R.

This is my third pair of Ursus low tops. I also pre-ordered the Osos last year and am super excited for that release! The first pair was the initial release, I used them for training then after a month I wanted to use them for work, so I ordered another pair. The second pair was from their improved supplier and the quality was much better! Wore the initial pair at work 12 hours a day until I finally killed them off (this took quite some time) so recently ordered my third pair to replace my gym pair and put current gym’rs to work duties. I was very flat footed and had atrophied feet (without knowing this up until using these) from a lifetime if “normal” shoe-wearing. My feet now retain an arch, are stronger, and feel natural. Honestly, all other training shoes are trash in my eyes now. I will buy these until my dying day and you probably should too.

David M.

Best lifting shoe ever! I have 2 pairs now - one for the gym and one to wear out. This is a functional barefoot shoe that doesn't break the budget.

fiona c.

these shoes are changing my life! They are utterly astounding, take some getting used to and will be my go to until i get another pair…very soon! thanks

Charles L.

Such a comfortable shoe. Also with a flatness and width I hadn't yet found in a lifting shoe. Would definitely buy again.

Jerusha J.

Love love love these shoes!! They make all the difference planting my feet and keeping them in the lift! Thank you!!

Aaron W.

My second pair! Bigg there first pair a tad large. Second pair is now perfect and first pair is there everyday shoe!

Juan B.

Love them

Ryan R.

Excellent shoe, amazing customer service. Had to order 4 pairs to get the right size and William (customer service rep) was super friendly and responsive. I found the size/length to fit similarly to Chucks. I am a 12 in running shoes (Nike, Adidas, New Balance, ASICS, etc.), a 10.5 in dress shoes (Johnston & Murphy, Rockport), an 11.5 in Chucks / Chuck Taylor… and an 11.5 in Bearfoot. I’ve worn these shoes for a few months and they look + feel better with age. Lots of aches and pains in my joints and lower back have gone away doing nothing other than wearing these to the gym!

Rania A.

Love the shoes! Game changer when lifting. I initially had to lift with socks because I can’t lift barefoot at the gym, but there is no traction with socks, so they weren’t safe. These shoes are comfortable and allow me to do so much more in the gym. Love them

Joe R.

Awesome shoes! I really enjoyed lifting in these. I do feel that they could be a little bit wider for my feet. During lifts, I can feel my toes hitting the shoes a bit. They are perfect for everyday wear, so I pre-ordered the Osos for a shoe a little more convenient for everyday wear.

William B.

So far so good!

Jana P.

These are super comfortable and they look awesome! Shouldn't have waited so long to get a pair

Alain G.

Best shoe I own at the moment love it , my favorite shoe

Duy M.

Great shoes! I had bought the first version a couple years ago and decided to get another pair. You can definitely feel the improvements, especially the insole which feels more plushy instead of a flat surface on my first pairs. I have the black and grey pairs, most likely going to grab the rainbow pair later on. 10/10, fits good to size, I'd recommend going half a size down for a more firm placement for your feet.

Luca

I would recommend anyone looking to improve their lifting to get these shoes. They really let you feel the ground and help you figure out your mobility issues. The one issue I've had after almost a year is that the heel of the sewn in shoe insert isn't very durable and now has holes under my heel and pads of my feet. Also, it would be nice if the heel of the shoe was a little narrower. It's a bit wide back there and my heel often slides side to side.

Alexei C.

This are by far the best looking gym shoes ever ! And of course extremely comfy, and that is coming from someone that has been training on barefoot shoes for years now. I was pleasantly surprised with how nice this one's feel . Just FYI, I recommend getting a full size larger than you usually wear. I ordered a 1/2 size bigger and their still pretty tight so for my next pair I will be getting a full size larger.

Øyvind E.

This is a deadlift level up item. Its like barefoot, but better and feels like i'm part of the floor. Was surprised how much it elevated my deadlift feel. A low cost upgrade for the gym and is totally worth the money.

Juan B.

Love these shoes so much. Hands down the best footwear out there and you can’t beat the price. I can’t wait to buy another pair.

Barry W.

Love these shoes. Really feel like you’re barefoot and you can really ground yourself in them.

Justin R.

I absolutely love Bearfoot athletics they never fail with their delivery of quality. I use their shoes for training(heavy lifting) and also for my every day life if I’m not wearing sandles. My toes are the widest and strongest they have ever been. Healthy feet= heavy squats and Deadlifts

Josue R.

Molds to your feet, excellent grip. Laces are a bit long but the color combination looks great!

Chris L.

Love these! Trust me, they're worth the wait! I want to buy another pair for my everyday shoe!

Teresa M.

These shoes are amazing! I usually have a hard time with shoes, not with these. They are so comfortable, I can use them on the treadmill, no problem and my feet do not hurt at all. I have a wide width and these shoes are perfect.

Cody S.

Absolute game changer. Immediately felt the difference in my lifts with this. And surprisingly comfortable. You have a life long customer.

Austin J.

I love these shoes! I can't even put my feet into a pair of chucks anymore. The customer service was excellent and I would recommend these shoes to anyone and already have. I can completely see myself buying more.

Jorge G.

The quality of the shoe material is amazing. The shoe itself is comfortable and breathable. Much better than a weightlifting shoe. Will definitely purchase again!
