Absolutely love the look and feel of the Traversa shoes!

Really excellent, well made shoes. Ticks all the boxes, fits true to size, foot shaped toe box and it doesn't break the bank. Can't recommend them enough.

Thank you @Common Tread team - they are SO comfortable!

We are so very happy with my daughters shoes from Common Tread. After she loved the sandals for summer, we now also bought the evergreen shoes for winter for her and they are the only shoes she tolerates on her feet. She runs, climbs, jumps and walks in them as if they are a second skin. And they look so cute while doing so many great things for her growing feet and body. I’m sure we gonna end up buying all the sizes over the next couple of years.

Very impressed with this brand. The shoes are flexible and such good quality. My little one just loves wearing them!

I have been wearing barefoot shoes for 14 years from a well known barefoot brand and was very hesitant to try a new brand. I must admit that I am impressed with the comfort and quality of these shoes. The fact that it is a local South African company is a real bonus.

I am so happy with my purchase. The shoes came true to size, were comfortable right out the box, and the leather is amazing. Even better is the shape, some barefoot shoes look like clown shoes but these elegantly follow the curvature of my feet. Perfect for the office and the weekend.

Thus far my options have been limited with regards to zero drop leather shoes, apart from Jim Green African Ranger and imported shoes. When it comes to leather shoes I prefer locally made as it is easier to have things mended down the line when wear and tear takes it's toll.

These shoes are great and I'm considering a second pair so that I can alternate the shoes. The wide toe box is great to allow your toes to spread and offer better balance and foot muscle development. I've been wearing zero drop shoes with wide toe boxes for more than 10 years now. The options are limited for running type shoes (work on film sets) but have been even more limited for leather "vellies".

I can HIGHLY recommend Common Tread shoes, but also, I recommend them for your children's foot development.

With a wide foot, I always go for wide toebox shoes, and this is just perfect for me!
I love barefoot too, and the leather is soft and comfy from day 1. very nice indeed!!

I purchased the Kid’s Amber Desert Sandal for my 1 y/o as he was just starting to walk. I was trying to find the right “learning to walk” shoes in stores and couldn’t find any, so happy to have finally come across Common Trend brand online as it was just what I was looking for - soft and flexible :). My son loves wearing them and I’ll definitely be purchasing new pairs as his feet grow.

100% worth the investment. These are the first shoes my daughter (almost 2 years old) is excited to wear… and asks to keep on when we get home. So impressed. Highly recommend. Wish they made the style for adults too!

It’s been about three weeks now. And they are honestly just getting better and better. Not trying to be too fancy but still a good look. The perfect simplicity. Strong, comfortable quality.
And that it’s made here in South Africa really just adds to the appreciation.
So thank all involved for creating the quality !

When we first had to look at shoes, we knew that we wanted the best option for our boy. Barefoot is best and these shoes allow for that, giving him freedom to explore and adventure while being safe but unhindered. A quick look for barefoot shoes for kids will have you shocked at the cost to keep your kids feet healthy. Common tread gives you an affordable, well made option! Genuinely the only shoe we have ever used!

Best shoes for every adventure.

My boys love the shoes! We hope you make bigger sizes before these are too small! Maybe for mom and dad as well.
