This is my second purchase from Naturcontact. I first bought barefoot boots and they were extremely comfortable, with good toe space, so I decided to buy these barefoot shoes and heel supports as well. Delivery communication was clear and both orders arrived quickly.

The shoes are beautiful and very comfortable. I suffer from foot pain and these barefoot shoes have made a noticeable difference!! The wide toe box feels much better than traditional shoes. Customer service was excellent and the exchange process was quick and easy.
Nkechi E.
Wonderful shoes, very comfortable and warm. I just came back from a walk in the rain and my feet stayed dry and warm. I’ve been wearing barefoot shoes for a couple of years now and they’ve made a clear positive difference. Highly recommended.
Renate D.
I’ve worn work boots and hiking boots most of my life, but decided to try barefoot shoes. I’m really impressed. They feel comfortable right away and my feet no longer ache like they used to with traditional boots. Thanks Naturcontact will buy again!
Rob H.
Very pleased with my overall experience. The process was easy and delivery smooth. I bought a pair of Naturcontact barefoot shoes for my husband and one for myself and we both love them. They fit well, feel very comfortable, and this is my third pair now.

    We donate 1% of every purchase of our eco-friendly barefoot shoes to certified nature restoration organizations, helping protect and restore the natural world.

    SEE OUR IMPACT

    Why Naturcontact? Because we do things differently.

    A small UK business with real purpose

    Naturcontact is a small UK-based business driven by genuine purpose, not just profit. In a world dominated by automation and unhealthy work cultures, we choose to stay human, ethical, and transparent, creating a secure and respectful environment for our team. Our shoes are made to be high quality, durable, and fairly priced, never cheap, and never overpriced just to sell a logo.

    Responsible local delivery

    Sustainability doesn’t stop at production. We prioritize local UK delivery through DPD and Royal Mail, helping to reduce unnecessary transport emissions. By optimizing logistics and keeping fulfillment close to home, we actively work to minimize CO₂ impact while ensuring fast, reliable delivery.

    Limited batches - Less waste. More quality.

    We produce each model in carefully planned batches of around 1,000/2,000 pairs. This helps us avoid overproduction, reduce leftover stock, and focus on better materials, comfort, and long-lasting quality. Once a size sells out, we cannot always guarantee a restock.
