Ursus [High-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

SALES

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 in the Bearfoot Ursus. 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 built 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 again them. Enjoy the Bearfoot Ursus [HT]

Anne W.

Love the width at the tow box, but too wide for me in the rest of the foot. Likely this is difference between my women’s size feet and the men’s size shoes, but even cinched as tight as they go, the mid foot and heel fit a bit sloppy. Will be fine for deadlifts and squats, but too sloppy for any other workouts. Which is too bad because I love the completely flat, minimalist soles.

Geneviève R.

Very happy

Reed H.

The shoes are good so far. Ordering and customer service were subpar. That’s being nice. Hopefully the shoes hold up.

Christopher M.

Really comfortable, light and flexible shoe, I feel ready for action. Took a while to get to me here in Kenya, but good things come to those who wait.

Petar K.

Had to wait for my shoes but once they arrived I was over the moon. Very comfy and squats felt amazing wearing these Ursus HT.

Esteban R.

I’ve purchased 5 pairs in the past few weeks. If that’s not a testament to how good these are, then keep it moving.

Esteban R.

Great pair of shoes. Going to the gym feels like a new experience.

Most comfortable shoes I’ve owned. The new heel cup is nice, the leather on older pair I have without the heel cup contacted the ground when walking and got dirty quick. They grip incredibly well. And they are so comfortable I will forget I am wearing these shoes.

Gregory A.

I absolutely love my new Bearfoot high tops! They fit great and look even better. Thank you for the great product and fast shipping!

Anastacio R.

Excellent minimalist shoe. (Note: in my case, shoe design requires I choose the next half size up because of the angle at which the front is attached.)

William C.

So comfortable, great purchase

Dominic U.

I love these shoes! These are the second pair I have, first being a pair of low tops. I wear these shoes everywhere. I do wish there were some options material wise, I won't wear these in the rain or any sort of weather just to get the most life out of them as I can but otherwise I recommend them to everyone. These shoes have also helped me keep my body in the proper alignment. Anyone with an injury or sports medicine knows the body can develop mis-alignments in order compensate where a body part is lacking. With a torn labrum in both my left hip and left shoulder, causing my body lift and twist itself our of alignment, these shoes have helped in keeping my body into it natural alignment and not having to manual re-align myself each morning or night as often as I would your everyday shoe.

Jonathan S.

I have been able to wear these HT’s for several squat and DL workouts now. I love the natural feel and grip. They are my new standard.

Jim K.

Using exclusively for weight training. Like the feel when doing squats.

ANTHONY C.

URSUS 15 HT perfect in foot ergonomics to maximize body power and foot strength. Rubber sole is glued and is very thin with correct traction grooves that do not interfere with the Bearfoot purpose. I WANT TO SEE: Another high top version with a thicker rubber sole with the same grooves THAT IS SEWN TO THE UPPER. Upper seems perfect as is. I need to wear shoes like this NOT ONLY IN THE GYM BUT ALWAYS. No reason to hobble my feet with atrocious modern footwear just because I am not working out. MAKE IT HAPPEN MR DUFFIN!!!!

Arielle S.

Amazing

Will K.

My wide feet can finally expand when lifting. Awesome.

David Z.

Love the colors! Next time I will order next 1/2 size up. They're definitely for squats and deadlift workouts cuz they keep you solid to the floor without slipping.

Donnie R.

I never realized how unstable normal shoes wore until i tried these, i was recommended to this brand by Chris Duffin and as soon as i put them on i felt like i had small platforms on my feet to keep me balanced, they also have alot of room inside so they're not cramming my feet/toes together. Would recommend for anyone lifting.

Chris C.

Great shoe's!!! It took a while due to back orders but worth the wait. High quality, great ground feel. Awesome for lifting and boxing so far. I would size up a half size on my next pair though.

Joshua O.

Very comfortable, and ultra grippy. Not just great for squat and deadlift, but bench as well. Really able to bury my feet in the ground for bench and not slide around. Great shoe all around. Highly recommend.

Steven T.

I really like the fit of these shoes, especially in the toe box. I usually have to order a half size larger if a wide size is not available. Next to being barefoot, these shoes put your foot in the most natural position possible when working out. Hopefully, they will turn out to be durable. They appear to be very well made.

Thomas S.

The overall quality seemed good but the sizing is off. My first impression was that the shoes seemed to be well constructed and the materials are high quality. They definitely are minimalist which is a big plus. The sizing information is way off. I measured my foot and it corresponded to a size 9.5 based on their website. I knew that seemed off and ordered a size 11 which is what I typically wear. They barely fit but were not comfortable because the toe box tapers down significantly and that wasn't going to be fixed as the shoes broke in. I had to return and have ordered a half size larger. Hopefully that will buy enough space to make them comfortable, especially as the shoes break in.

Connor B.

Absolutely the best deadlift shoe out there. The stability of a canvas sneaker with the feel of barefoot. Reduces the range of motion by at least ¾ of an inch, which may not sound like much, but try pulling off of 1" blocks and tell me it doesn't make a difference. 11 out of 10.

Bradley L.

GREAT Quality shoes. My feet feel great!

Julian T.

I’ve heard so many good things about these shoes and the company as a whole. I love them and can’t wait to buy more!

Jesse d.

Most comfortable shoe i have. Wish there was a outdoorsy/waterproof option!

scott s.

I have used my bearfoot shoes for one squat session and one deadlift session. Really enjoy the light weight and the feel of the shoe. I can clearly get a better feel for the floor which I like.

Matthew T.

The length of time it took to receive these shoes is laughable

Luann D.

I purchased these for my son, and he told me they are the most comfortable shoes he's ever worn

Justin

These shoes are unique in every way. The company is called Bearfoot and the shoes are as close to that as possible. No support, strong grip, and great looking. These will be my gym shoes going forward.

Danielle P.

What a great shoe ! I’ve been training bare foot for awhile now and finally got these in the mail and what a change ! They’re super comfortable and practical, and on top of that super fashionable haha. Don’t think I’ll ever be able to train without these bad boys from now on , definitely planning on being a repeat customer.

Scott S.

I've waited more then 8 months for the re-stocking. I'm glad I did not give up hope because now that I have received my Bearfoots I could not be happier with my purchase. I'm impressed with the feel of the floor beneath me and the large toe box. I'm pleased with how they performed during Squats and I'm excited to see how well they will perform when dead lifting.

Chris C.

The tan color was a little brighter/lighter than it seemed in the picture, but they fit perfect (very short "break in" period), feel fantastic to walk in, and seem well made. I'm going to be pretty hard on them and already wearing them in mud and snow, hopefully they hold up.

Lexy R.

FINALLY a pair of lifting shoes that fit my extra wide feet, i wanna cry from happiness. I’ve struggled for the 10 years I’ve been lifting to find a great pair of gym shoes. Not only are these comfortable, durable and light, they’re stylish too. I’ll definitely be buying more pairs. Thanks so much for creating these babies!!

Morgan K.

Wasn't sure about sizing, so I emailed the support team and was recommended starting with a 6.5, which is a half size smaller than I wear in any other brand, but made sense from their sizing chart. Very well made, extremely grippy soles. The 6.5's were a little snug around my toes at first, but they were the perfect length to not have any slippage in the heel. After wearing them a few times they've stretched out and now feel like they were custom made for my feet. Only con is that because they have a soft structure, you do have to loosen up the laces every time in order to get the high tops on. That being said I like that I can fold them up easily to put them in my gym bag. Got some Navy laces on amazon, and now they match my SBD storm singlet and knee sleeves perfectly.

Bunny S.

I love these shoes so much! They are very comfortable and have a great grip. I can never go back to typical gym shoes ever again.

Js L.

Modt comfortable shoes i

Carlotta G.

These are fun…definitely prefer color over black or gray…IUrsus are great!

Carlotta G.

These gummies are my absolute favorites! They’re cute (hey, I’m a gurl) and way comfortable…and so fun for squats…my significant other is interested in Ursus, now..,Ursus has helped me tremendously in having less painful and more stable feet….just love these shoes…

Ed A.

I have been wanting to buy these for a long time but they are always out of stock. I have been using other minimalist shoes for years and always wanted a taller shoe to keep out debris when out doors. When I finally found these available I ordered them right away! They look great but Unfortunately they were too small. By the time I received them all of the larger sizes were unavailable. I do not want to back order anything ever. I want to go to the store and try them on…. They do look good and appear to be high quality.

Damian M.

Great squat shoes

Victor P.

Perfect fit at the front, but unfortunately too wide at the back. I don't feel like my heels are locked in during my squat and sumo deadlift.

ANTHONY R.

The materials and build quality of these shoes is fantastic! I've owned everything barefoot since the original Nike free, five fingers, multiple variations of vivobarefoot shoes, Merrell, New balance minimus... I prefer these bearfoot shoes over all of them. The price point is great and I believe they will last and even be repairable for a long time to come. Definitely worth the wait!

Hadi H.

Better than expected ! I absolutely love them - so light and well made ; feels like I’m walking BEAR-foot! One problem though; I’m not wearing any other shoe anymore !!!

Miguel T.

These shoes were worth the 3 and a half month wait I would order another but sucks having to wait so long, anyway they feel great outside the gym and in the gym. I don’t know what it is but on squats and deadlifts I feel more rooted to the ground compared to my vivo shoes, the ursus are just as flexible I love that they stretch over time I think that process has begun already I had them since the start of the year I believe. The texture feels amazing they look stylish I been asked what brand these are by a few ppl , I even bought the blue insoles which I love by the way it feels like my feet are being massaged with each step. The cons I dint take a picture but where the sole meets the shoe I feel like there’s a small section that wasn’t sown or glued all the way it just doesn’t match the rest of the shoe idk if it’s normal or if I got a defect but other then that the shoes are amazing. My feet did hurt the first day I wore them to work (they dint hurt as much the next day) they are a little different then my vivos, my vivos give me a more feeling from the ground if that makes sense and I can’t wear my toe spreaders in my ursus they aren’t wide enough compared to my vivos again no biggie. These shoes are cool if your on the fence about them I recommend them I already got osos pre ordered and I’ll probably get another pair of ursus in the future minimalist shoes are the way to go no more Nike air ones for me.

Francois-Pierre T.

Best shoes I have ever bought. These are comparable to nothing. It's like walking around barefoot but with more grip. I've never have been this comfortable in a training shoe before. They feel... biologic. Organic. One with your feets. Wasn't sure about the sizing, you really need to measure twice and get the size that's the closest to your measurements. Bought two pairs, gonna buy more when needed!

Joseph R.

The shoes are perfect for what I need them for. But make sure to order a size up for proper fit!

Yoantely A.

Amazing shoes for weightlifting. Light weight, feels like you have nothing on. I did go a half size down to get the perfect fit.

Chris V.

When I first picked up the package I didn’t think there was any shoes it, they are so light! So light I was skeptical at first but after wearing and training in them, wow!! They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, period!

Manuel M.

One of the best shoes for squaring and deadlifting

Robert S.

The shoe fits great. Took about a day to get used to it versus a regular tennis shoe. They look pretty sleek. Worth the wait.

Zachary M.

I made the mistake of ordering a 13.5 when I wear 14 in Nike/Adidas. I went back and ordered a 14. This is the shoe I’ve been looking for. All flat/foot shaped shoes are way too expensive but not these. They are reasonably priced and have the perfect intended purpose. I have a very wide foot. All the other brands weren’t wide enough. I love these for my leg days.

Brandon H.

Glad they made it a permanent option.

Jason H.

Comfortable and fits great. Feels like I can really grip the floor with them.

Mitchell E.

After two weeks using just these shoes Its amazing how much more connected to my feet i feel during my lifts. I expected nothing less considering who designed them. Amazing quality and will buy again!

Brenda N.

Absolutely love my Bearfoot lifting shoes. I’m on my second pair. So comfortable and perfect for deadlifting squatting.

thomas C.

This is the 2nd pair I purchased the first pair being low tops. Definitely the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn for training. The first pair was starting to fall apart on the stitching , I've had them for about two years and used them during a strong man competition which had some to do with the stitching pulling apart. With all that being said In my opinion you won't find a better "bear foot" on the market and the shipping was much smoother opposed to the first purchase which was when the shoe was first released.

Campbell O.

These kick ass. I’ve been using them as trail runners and they’ve held up.

Michael M.

I now own several pair of bearfoot shoes. The hightops are my favorite, but I like the low top as well. It wasnt until I started wearing these shoes that I realized how tight my other shoes were. They opened my eyes to wide toe boxes and the type of shoes that make my feet comfortable. I have two pair for the gym and one I wear most days. On another note, I've had some small issues with wear and tear, but customer service quick, no fuss handling of any issue has been exceptional. I will continue to support this company and love their products.

Douglas C.

Super comfortable, like wearing fuzzy slippers. Grip is phenomenal. And looks amazing as well.

Frank M.

Shoes arrived in good condition and fit well. Really like the grip they provide when dead lifting. Didn’t seem to need a break in period. Used them at the gym right out of the package.

niko s.

Great lifting shoes. Take half size bigger than normal.

Agustin C.

They are perfect for lifting. I needed something to keep my feet on the ground and these make my balance much better. They are durable and don’t feel like they will tear easily. The only thing is they are true to size, so I wish I got the 11 instead of the 10.5 but that’s my fault.

Marc L.

Bought the gorgeous gummy high tops.. awesome shoes. Been using them for every lift I do. Can feel a lip under the heel where the sole and shoe meet, if you're feet are all the way back. Next to that, they're perfect .

Josh W.

I really like the wide mid foot and toe box, my feet don’t feel squished like other training shoes I’ve worn in the past, they feel great! Seems like I’m getting better results from the flat soles for my plantar fasciitis than the arch support docs recommend. I’ve been wearing them most of the day while at work and I feel it puts my foot in more of a static stretch and with continuous wearing I do believe my plantar fasciitis feels better than it has in years!

Jason E.

Really enjoyed squatting in these new shoes! A lot of grip and support with a wide stance!

Allison W.

After dropping weight to get into a new class, my squat form changed. So I switched from elevated to flat shoes. And it has made a world of difference. I feel more connected to the floor and can concentrate on foot placement, grilling with my toes and driving off my heels. I love bearfoor shoes!

JC G.

I shared a review when I first received my shoes - my first impressions were they were great looking, well made, and initially very comfortable. My initial positive impressions were reinforced, and I can honestly say, this is the best pair of minimalist shoes I have ever worn in a decade! I started wearing minimalist shoes during my military career and fell in love, and really don't wear anything else unless I absolutely have to - and now I have found my "go-to" shoe for the foreseeable future. I literally wear these Ursus every day, except when it is wet out - I wear them for lifting, errands, work, travel - you name it, these shoes are the "HEAT"! I will be ordering more for sure, in multiple colors (though the Badlands are awesome looking). You made a great product - thank you - my next pair I will treat and see how they hold up in the rain/snow - I want to wear these all the time. Keep up the great work! RLTW!

Cary A.

My first pair were the maroon low tops that I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase from Kabuki to try them. They're they only pair of lifting shoes that don't hurt my feet. I tried 2 pair of Notorious Lifts and a pair of Vivobarefoot, but both hurt thr side of my weird shaped feet. My mom now has that maroon low tops, once my greys arrived. I love how they fit so much I decided to get a pair of the HT in black. They're not the most stylish shoes, but the comfort and function can't be beat, especially if you have a wide foot or a bone spur from wearing ski boots daily for a decade.

Elizabeth C.

My son loved the shoe but unfortunately they were the wrong size. I've requested an exchange for a large size. Thank you!

Vincent D.

This is my second pair of Ursus High Tops and I love them. My first pair was strictly for lifting. This is my walk around pair and it feels so natural. After wearing orthotics for years and worrying about soles having arches, it's amazing how there was no feeling of "transitioning over" to flat soled shoes. The wide toe box is the best thing ever. Very comfortable. Bearfoot's customer service is top notch too. Although there have been some supply chain challenges, as soon as they were in stock, it took only 2 days to arrive to my doorstep. Please restock the Krimson Kabuki collaboration!

Brontae D.

I love these shoes! They helped with my knee pain. They helped improve my squat and deadlift. I want to get another pair for everyday walking and a pair for my husband.

Rahime K.

Hands down the best training shoes. Look forward to purchasing more in the near future

Tommy N.

Love the shoes, but it took 4 months to get them. Definitely great shoes though.

Allan B.

Amazing shoes, and they never disappoint! Unique, functional, comfortable, and stylish.

Lindsey L.

My husband said that these are great shoes to add to anyone's inventory. The one thing that he didn't expect is the smell? Is this normal? do these shoes always have a strong odor?

Jason A.

just get them! they are the bomb dot com

Evelyn N.

Shoes are amazing! They fit really good and look amazing.

Melanie V.

I'm a personal trainer at GoodLife and these have made my dead lift so much easier! My contact and grip with floor is Amazing! GAME CHANGERS!! @frozen_barbell on Instagram

Drake H.

Best shoes ever and great customer service

Cheryl E.

Fit great, comfortable

Peter B.

Couldn’t be better. Simple as that.

Dushko A.

Amazing

Kim P.

Personally I can't say I use these shoes because I bought them for my son. He has entered 2 power lifting competitions so far and has taken first place and he loves them. He also says most guys he trains with prefers them also.

Jean-Philippe F.

Had to return it back because I was to big. But I really liked how they feel. A+

Alan K.

These shoes are so comfortable! Love the color! Nice fit, true fit

Greg P.

Incredible shoes!! Best feeling when squatting/deadlifting in shoes I’ve ever had.

Christine G.

Absolute game changer. I love these shoes. Up until I got these I was lifting without shoes on because I need to feel the ground in order to properly plant me feet. They are great for lifting and just wearing in general. They are perfect fit right off the bat. No need to break them in. They are really comfortable and I love the thin soles which make me feel more grounded when lifting compared to other shoes. I absolutely recommend these for everyone who is serious about lifting or just likes to be bare foot but can't when out and about.

Tom N.

Well worth the wait , great quality construction, superb traction , I won’t be without a pair again

Halden N.

Ordered size 11 and they fit perfectly. I love wearing them for deadlifts as they give me the best feeling of stability and being connected to the ground.

Matthew C.

I've only worn them a couple times so far. There's a general feel to them that they might not be the best for regular/every day wear so I only wear them to the gym.

JC G.

Super comfortable - great looking! Love them - totally worth the wait!

D P.

Out of the bag, to say I'm impressed is an understatement. The pictures don't do the shoes any justice where quality is concerned. The leather, soft as it is, is thick. While I'm sure heavy use will wear away at the whole of the things, I'm not worried about happening any time soon. As long as the tops and sides hold up, I'll re-sole these until they have worn away to nothing. A+. 10/10. Two thumbs up, or whatever.

Bruno P.

I'm very satisfied with the shoes. The feeling of being more grounded and in control of my feet is exactly what I was expecting. Plus, there were complications with delivery, on the carrier side, and Bearfoot kept trying to help out through the whole process. I really appreciate the support they gave me. Great product, great customer support.

Carina R.

I love these shoes because they allow me to go all the way down during my squats and my pinky toe is not pinched and they don’t become numb after heavy loads of training. Seriously, an awesome shoe. I also don’t wear socks when I wear these shoes and the fabric doesn’t irritate my skin at all. 100/10

Ahmed A.

the best

Roque D.

Amazing shoes changed my squat

kelley s.

It took some time to Get the shoes but once I received them I love them. First time squatting in them and I am hooked.

Allan B.

Amazing shoes. Extremely functional and comfortable while maintaining a very minimal profile to encourage natural foot movement. Best shoes for lifting and casual wear. Will definitely be buying additional colors.
