Low-cut, lace up men's shoe perfect for both weekend and work wear. Made in South Africa designed with barefoot principles - zero-drop sole, 7mm TPR sole and wide toe box, made from full-grain chestnut brown leather. Comfortable, functional and stylish. 

Like any leather footwear, the shoes require some wearing time to soften completely, especially around the fitted ankle area. Comfort level improves with use enhancing that ''barefoot feel''.

Natural variations/markings may occur across the leather hide. Our first Traversa range is a rich chestnut brown colour with dark brown laces. Although the images may depict colour differences the product photos with the white background displays the accurate leather upper colour.

  • Why Barefoot Feel Shoes

    While Common Tread was founded to help children with posture and development the advantages of barefoot-feel shoes aren't just for kids. Barefoot-feel shoes offer a natural stride, mimicking the foot's inherent movements. This enhances posture and strengthens muscles, often neglected in traditional footwear. They provide sensory feedback from the ground, improving balance and agility.

Great quality

I purchased these as an alternative to other barefoot shoes I wear for work. I am really impressed by the quality and feel of the leather. The shoes look and feel great on foot. After polishing with beeswax the colour is more chocolate brown which looks even better. I will definitely purchase again.

Excellent!

Absolutely love the quality and meticulous finishing of my Traversa shoes, I’m going to have to buy two more pairs and rotate them on a shift basis because I love them so much.
