Low-cut, lace up men's shoe perfect for 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.

excellent product

I bought the Traversa model. The quality, finishing and detail are of an extremely high standard. I can strongly recommend these shoes if you are looking for a good-looking pair of zero drop barefoot type shoes.

Super comfy and durable

I've had different brands of vellies over the years and other than being super comfortable from day one, what also struck me is how moisture-resistant these are. Love them.

excellent

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.

We so appreciate you taking the time to place a review! So glad you are so happy Leo.
