Bareo

Barefoot brand from Portugal.

Bareo is a Portuguese brand that designs and makes its barefoot shoes in Portugal, with women's and men's ranges and a smaller kids' line called Bareo Grow. I'd call it mainly sneakers and everyday shoes, plus boots and a few sandals and slippers, with leather and suede used in the women's range. All have a wide toe box and thin flexible sole, with a zero drop Pure line and an Evolved line with a 4 mm drop and a hallux-shaped insole.

Specialities: women, men, kids, boots, leather

How Bareo fits

wide width

Bareo says its toe box is wide and gives toes room to spread, but I found no independent reviews to back that up. Use their size chart and leave a little spare room at the front. Try one pair first if you have high-volume feet.
