Lifters Bare One

Yes, especially for squats, deadlifts, and other basic exercises. The zero-drop sole lets you stand flat and stable on the ground, without a raised heel or soft cushioning that gives way under load. You feel the ground better, can transfer your power directly, and actively engage your feet in the workout. That’s why many athletes train barefoot or in barefoot shoes like the Bare One when lifting.

The Bare One runs large. It's best to choose one size smaller than you would for your regular sneakers. If you're unsure, measure the length of your foot and compare it to the size chart. The shoe is available in sizes 35 through 46. And if it doesn't fit, you can exchange it for free within 30 days.

Give your feet some time to adjust. If you’ve mainly worn cushioned shoes up until now, start with your workouts and gradually increase the amount of time you wear them in your daily life over the course of a few weeks. It’s normal to feel some unfamiliar sensations in your feet and calves at first, because your muscles are suddenly having to work harder. Listen to your body, and if you have any existing foot issues, check with a doctor beforehand to see if barefoot shoes are right for you.

Yes, the Bare One is designed for functional training: lifting, jumping, workouts, and short runs. If you want to run longer distances, you should already be used to barefoot shoes and increase the distance gradually. Without cushioning, your feet and calves bear more of the load.

Absolutely. The clean design works well even outside the gym, and the breathable mesh upper ensures a comfortable fit. Especially in everyday life, your feet benefit when they can move freely and roll naturally.

Yes, the Bare One is a unisex barefoot shoe and is available in sizes 35 through 46. Women and men can simply choose their size based on the size chart. Remember to go one size smaller than you would for regular shoes.
