Shop women's barefoot shoes from Saguaro, in ladies' sizes from UK3. Every pair has a wide toe box, a zero-drop sole and a thin, flexible sole, so your toes have room to spread and you can feel the ground. Choose from everyday sneakers, the Giselle slip-on, light gym shoes in pink and neutral colours, warm winter shoes and a foldable rain boot. Saguaro is a unisex brand, so many of these styles also come in men's sizes. The Giselle slip-on is the one style made just for women. We deliver across South Africa.
How to choose barefoot shoes for women
Ladies barefoot shoes look like ordinary sneakers and flats, but they're built differently. Here's what to look for:
-
A wide toe box. The front of the shoe follows the shape of a foot instead of coming to a point, so your toes have room to spread and nothing pinches at the front.
-
A zero-drop sole. Your heel and toes sit at the same height, with no raised heel.
-
A thin, flexible sole. It bends with your foot and lets you feel the ground. It's much thinner than a padded trainer, so expect a different feel.
-
Light weight. The Fast I weighs just 189 g per shoe.
Then choose by what you'll do in them: barefoot sneakers like the Luck I, Retro I and Go I for every day; the Giselle slip-on, a ballet-style flat for work and errands; barefoot gym shoes like the Smart II, Fast I and Motion Pro; and the warm-lined Will I from our barefoot boots range for cold days. The red Brisk I is a fleece-lined, foldable rain boot that rolls up to fit in a bag.
Sizing: Saguaro runs slightly large
Our returns show that Saguaro sizes run slightly large, so please check your size before you order. WhatsApp us on 075 111 2222 with your usual shoe size and we'll help you choose. Women's sizes start at UK3, but not every colour comes in every size, so check the sizes on each shoe.
