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

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].

These are my first pair of true minimalist shoes. I've been lifting in socks for the past year for all lifts except squats where I used Adidas powerlifts. I first came across Bearfoot from Squat University while working to improve technique. I bought into the theory on lifting with minimalist shoes and I really like these so far. Finished a set of Deadlifts today and they felt great! Good support and grip but still maintain a feeling of being barefoot. I really enjoy these and think the quality is solid. The only mod I did was add a pair of no tie laces, but other than that these are great shoes! Thanks for making a quality product!

Justin D.

These are great! For sure getting more pairs

Tim A.

Shoes are very comfortable. I got the white since I was tired of waiting more than 10 weeks for my black ones. Get dirty easily as expected.

Junsung L.

Measurements of my foot is Left 269.7, Right 273. I ordered 9.5 and fit as I expected. I would buy high top next time.

Sonia C N.

Happy to have finally received these! Took a while to deliver to Toronto (about a month) but now that I have them, I can say that a) they fit perfectly, Men’s 7 and b) they are a great shoe for their intended purpose (which for me is a grippy neutral shoe for indoor training).

Stephanie W.

Beautiful shoes and the packaging is really nice. Sizing is difficult to get right, partly because you're going to start using your foot in ways you may have forgotten. Suede version definitely runs bigger and gives more. They're super comfortable and cute, my feet are feeling the difference already. Shorter thinner laces would be nice. All around a great product!

CORI B.

Absolutely love these! I have always been a no shoe deadlifter, but these are so comfortable & as close to bare feet as you can get in a shoe! Great addition to my kit!

Aaron C.

Love these shoes!! You can feel every piece of the earth beneath you in them!! The shoes are five stars all the way and glad I bought two pairs. What I didnt love or appreciate was the shipping and how they wouldn’t send a pair that was in stock until the back ordered pair could be sent at the same time. That certainly needs to be looked at though as there was no indication that I would have to be waiting anywhere on the site or checkout. I would rather pay shipping twice if that’s the answer but when someone buys something in stock online, they expect it sooner rather than later.

Tony G.

Most comfortable lifting shoe ever. Would consider buying another pair to wear around town they’re that comfy!

Marco B.

Absolutely more than satisfied with the entire experience. From the booking process online through the delivery and final product. Love my bearfoot and will never look back to wear "regular shoes" like sneakers. Thanks :)

Forrest L.

I was lifting completely barefoot and switched gyms to a place that requires shoes. This is the best solution. The polar white suede is really clean looking and they are very comfortable. Best grip of any shoes I’ve lifted in, and perfect for “spreading the floor” during a squat.

Henrik A.

Really like this shoe! Just bit worried about the longevity as one sole is already coming a bit unstuck.

Eric W.

I've had at least a dozen different types of minimalist footwear, from the old Vibram Five Fingers to various zero drop/almost-not-there shoes. The Ursa [LT] are far and away the best--the fit is the best I've found, with a roomy toe box (although if your feet are really wide, like mine, you might want to stick with the suede shoes, which will stretch to accommodate your forefoot), the sole has enough thickness to let you walk on most any surface, but not so much that you can't feel the ground, and they look darn good. Get these shoes!

Reggie B.

Love these shoes! Really feel stable when I am deadlifting in them. I have high arches but this seems to ameliorate that issue somewhat. I am so nervous to wear them out because I love them so much. Definitely order a half a size up from your regular shoe size.

Austin S.

I have been wearing shoes that compromise foot structure my whole life. Putting these on and lifting with them is a game changer. Since becoming a personal trainer with a home gym I’ve had the luxury of lifting bare foot, which comes with its own set of pros/cons. These shoes completely bridge the gap and I’m so glad I found out about them. They are very well built, quality product all around. Can’t say enough good things about these. I purchased the trainers with them and as advertised, you can wear both at the same time which is a really nice combo. Cost is comparable if not cheaper than other top of the line fitness shoes. I’ll be buying the high tops soon for everyday use.

Joseph L.

I wish I had bought these shoes sooner. At first I thought I would need to go through a couple of painful weeks as my feet adapted to actually working, but instead these have been incredibly comfortable straight out of the bag. . Can’t imagine buying another kind of shoe anymore. 10/10

Aatu L.

Total cost of the shoes were a bit high because of the custom fees and delivery to Finland. But the shoes are awesome, the best i have owned so far. They look good and feel good. Downside is that i have to order another pair for my girlfriend :D

Chris E.

Very comfortable and I never want to take them off… will be buying another pair in the future. I can never find the right sized shoes, these fit like a glove (size 10), I usually wear 10.5 for Nike/Adidas..

Josh H.

Love these shoes. Flat and wide is the key

Zander C.

Awesome, one of a kind shoe.

Joe G.

This by far the best pair of weightlifting shoes for Squats, Deadlifts and bench press. Has helped improve my range of motion, depth and flexibility Thank you so much for this life changing creation. Can’t wait to get more pairs of Bearfoot shoes

Cecilia D.

Literally feels like you are barefoot. They also have a strong grip so are perfect for leg press and inclined platforms.

Caleb L.

These things are legit. Will definitely be getting another pair.

Joe M.

It took me a few tries to get the right size, but it was worth it. These are really comfortable, and I think they’re going to help my feet in the long term.

Ren O.

Fantastic shoes for powerlifting. Wider sole allows you to use your toe more freely, which is the strongest advantage of this shoes. A pre tidal advice would be to choose 0.5 smaller than your shoe size for better fit.

Nick G.

super comfy !

Miguel C.

I own the HTs and the LTs and love them both but love the LTs just a little more because they're easier to get on and off quickly. Both amazing shoes with many applications. Some of the best money I've ever spent on equipment.

Raymond V.

I changed my mind. I decided to return them. Thanks, anyways

Jason W.

Loving the shoes so far! They’re comfy and such a wide toe box.

Xavier G.

The Ursus HT are excellent, easily the best training shoe I've ever used. I've tried everything from AdiPower to No Bull and these Bearfoot Ursus HT stand above them all. I have a wide foot so some of the more widely known lifting shoes were never really comfortable for me as my foot was constantly scrunched up. Narrow shoes would not allow me to keep my great toe and pinky toe glued to the floor which is not a problem with my Bearfoot Ursus HT. Combine the wide toe-box with all the other features and it makes for one hell of a training shoe and I plan on using them when I hit the platform on July 16th, 2022. One thing that is not mentioned but is defintely a bonus, is the fact the the Ursus HT has enough space to add some personality to the shoe. In the image I provided you'll notice an Owl, not shown is the Bear painted on the outside of the left shoe. Not only is the shoe functional but it also allows the lifter to show a bit of their personality. The Bearfoot Ursus HT is my new favorite shoe and I don't see myself using anything else besides another Bearfoot style.

Brad R.

Love them for lifting and hiking

Jenne E.

I just hope these last longer than a month like the last ones did... Sad that it took longer to get them than how long they lasted before the sole separated and then the tongue split apart.

Dalton G.

Shoes are great so far! Very comfortable with the wide toe box. Now to see how they last over a longer period. Pleased so far!

Keith J.

I tried them on and I love them. Everything I want in a workout shoe. I use squat blocks so the grippy sole was perfect. Size was spot on.

Thomas H.

Fits true to size, high quality material, look great, helping move lite weight baby

Misty H.

I am about to buy my next pair! These are so comfortable and as close to lifting shoeless as I have ever gotten. I was only squatting without shoes until I found these little gems. Highly recommend these.

Rashid B.

The coziest pair of shoes ever. They feel great, they move smooth, and they look awesome. The leather is a game changer. I was previously lifting in a pair of vivo barefoot shoes, which are awesome, but these Bearfoot athletics stole the show. They are 100% my go to and I wish I discovered them sooner, but better late than never. 10/10 recommend.

Bryce S.

Perfect for squatting and deadlifting. Able to get the feet rooted really well.

Mohammad A.

Best shoes l’ve ever use in my life this is the third time i order it , it my everyday shoes work,shopping,workout,etc The only issue for me is the shipment it’s takes 2to3 months to arrived to my country (Kuwait)

Jeffrey L.

Great shoe! Very comfortable and functional in all lifting activities (especially on squats). Shoe design allows for a very stable base to allow more concentrated focus on the actual lifts. Thanks!

Aaron B.

I really like the freedom of movement while wearing my Bearfoot shoes in the gym. You get really good contact with the floor and stability with your exercises. The make up and construction of the shoe is very good and well thought out. I did wear the shoes at work for a day and that wasn't great as I was hoping. I am basically on my feet for a majority of the day and practically walking on hard or concrete floors so I only did that once. But for the shorter duration that I'm on my feet in the gym 5-6 days a week they are great.

Karen H.

Love ‘em! So much room for my toes to wiggle and make a wide base!!

Sandra N.

Estoy usando estos zapatos para el trabajo y alfinal del dia ya no me duelen los pies, creo que ya no regresare a los zapatos que antes usaba, me encantan.

Christopher D.

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.

Noah O.

I would never blame shoes for hitting new PRs but I'll be damned if these shoes don't make a difference. For the first time ever I can feel how gripping the floor during a squat makes a difference. I'm actually excited to where these bad boys on the gym floor, they just feel that good. If I wasn't so shy I'd tell everyone at my gym how sweet these damn shoes are. Matter of fact, there's another guy who rocks Bearfoot and he came over to talk about how awesome these things are. If you know, you know

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!
