The Best Barefoot Shoes for Travel

Barefoot shoes provide a sense of freedom that traditional footwear simply can't replicate. Featuring thin, flexible soles and a zero-drop design, Groundies barefoot shoes empower you to:

Feel more grounded - Experience the textures of your journey, whether it's cobblestone streets or forested paths.

Travel light - Our shoes are exceptionally lightweight and compress easily, making them ideal for minimalist packing. 

Stay comfortable - Spacious toe boxes and breathable materials ensure all-day comfort, even during extended adventures. 

Move naturally - Designed to support natural foot movement, our minimalist construction helps reduce fatigue and strain. 

The result? Greater freedom of movement and lasting comfort—so you can explore more, and worry less. 

One of the key advantages of Groundies barefoot shoes is how seamlessly they align with a minimalist packing philosophy. Here are a few smart tips: 

Opt for versatile styles - Models like the Lima and Nova GS1 are designed to handle everything from casual sightseeing to evening dinners with ease. 

Stick to neutral tones - Groundies’ earthy color palette and timeless design pair effortlessly with a wide range of outfits. 

Take advantage of flexibility - Thanks to our thin, pliable soles, you can easily pack an extra pair in your carry-on—without sacrificing space. 

With just two pairs—like the sporty Lima and the more refined Nova GS1—you’ll be prepared for nearly any occasion your travels may bring.
