Materials & Story
Why Bespoky Oxford Shoes Wins on Value
7 Reasons This Pair Outperforms Mass-Produced Alternatives
True Zero Drop Sole: 0mm heel-to-toe drop keeps the whole foot on one plane.
Room to Splay: The forefoot is cut wide, letting toes spread the way they do barefoot.
Full-grain Leather Throughout: Upper and lining are the same quality full-grain leather, not a cheaper substitute.
Thin, Responsive Sole: Built for feedback, not for isolating your foot from the ground.
Low Weight, No Bulk: No foam wedges or reinforced shanks adding unnecessary weight.
One Pair, One Craftsperson: A single artisan lasts, stitches, and finishes each pair.
Made to Order in Turkey: Your pair is cut and stitched after you order, not pulled from a shelf.

Why We Skip Buffalo and Bonded Leather
Buffalo and split leather are thicker, stiffer, and cheaper — and it shows over time. Our full-grain leather is genuine Turkish calf leather, tighter-grained and longer-lasting. Read the comparison.

Customer Questions
Customer Questions
Can these be resoled? Yes, the hand-stitched construction allows a cobbler to replace the outsole rather than discarding the shoe.
How formal do these look? Formal enough for office and business-casual wear; the classic oxford silhouette reads as dressy despite the barefoot sole.
Is there a break-in period? Shorter than most leather oxfords, since there's no rigid shank or heavy heel counter to break down.
What sizing should I order? Order your usual size; the anatomical last already accommodates a wider forefoot than standard oxfords.
What's the difference from a normal oxford? The sole is flat and flexible instead of raised and stiff, and the toe box doesn't taper to a point.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 1350 reviews.
So comfy and I love the color. They were consistent with keeping me updated on my package and I love that the bag was personalized with my name. Just such a fun considerate detail!
Really nice slippers, good quality and very comfortable width. My only complaint is the size chart is a bit misleading. I measured my foot (10.5 inches long) and matched it to the size 42 (10.55 inches on the size chart). I find that the slippers are still a bit small. My heel is not fully on the back of the shoe. They are just house slippers so I dont mind much but would recommend sizing up a bit based on measurement.
These shoes are amazing! So much better than I hoped. Arrived in 3 days from Turkey…and packaged in a great bag with my name on it! Thank you so much will definitely buy from again!
Beautiful barefoot shoes. Generous sizing for wide feet. Finely crafted. No need for socks. Excellent customer service. Quality materials and workmanship. I have two pairs of shoes/boots from this seller. I wear them all the time and they still look like new.
I've just received the sandals, but so far I've been super happy. The packaging was personalized, which would excite anyone, I think. The sandals smell lovely, like fresh cut leather. They fit pretty well. They could be a little tighter. I wesr a 39eu and ordered a 39eu but there's a little extra room, and I have a wide foot. Hopefully they don't loosen up too much. They look beautiful!
Really happy with these boots. I thought they’d be for special occasions but I’ve basically worn them everyday. I’m a convert to the ‘barefoot’ wide toe box design, plus the leather is soft and comfortable straight away. Hopefully they last a long time
Probably one of my most favorite comfortable shoes I ever wore. 😍 this shoe just disappears on your foot. Nice and wide and molds to your foot Soft material. I cant wear anything but barefoot. Thank you
The seller was lovely to deal with, and they did make these shoes in a custom color for me, but unfortunately the shoes are unusually wide, arrived a bit dirty, and the rubber soles are unevenly cut and covered in dried glue. I’m a bit disappointed, really wanted to like these considering how expensive they were.
Update: seller was very responsive and refunded me
Love my Bespoky shoes! These are my 4th pair but this is the first time I ordered a custom color and I’m so happy with them. Customer service was great and shipping is super fast. Can’t wait for my next pair
Just got my Earthing Grounded Sandals 🩴 and I absolutely 💯 Love ❤️ them!!! Super comfortable and cute and well made with real leather 🥰 and not to mention super fast delivery too will definitely be ordering another pair 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
I ordered 41 which is more than 1cm larger than my actual size, but unfortunately they are not big enough, although i thoroughly followed measuring instructions for both my feet and shoe sizes. I hope they will expand more in time.
Otherwise, the quality of shoes is remarkable! They are light, made of quality materials, designed and made to last.
I recommend Bespoky, but please be aware of the potentital size issues.
Love these shoes!
Beautiful handmade barefoot shoes. You can tell they’re made with love and look so sweet.
The seller was very helpful and quick to respond with a question about shipping.
Thank you!
While these didn’t work for me (they ran larger than the previous style I had ordered & loved), I was provided helpful customer service to effect a return. Like my previous pair, the shoes were quite lovely & well made.
I decided to finally buy these as they were on sale & free shipping, and let me tell ya-these boots are SO NICE! They arrived insanely fast considering they came from Istanbul-took less than a week! They are VERY comfortable & fit me perfectly. The leather is soft & supple, and the zippers on the sides seem to be sturdy. I love the soft purple color. I would definitely buy these again, and I will recommend this seller highly! Thank you so much! 🫶🏼
Coming back after wearing the shoes for about a month. I am SO thankful for how they fit and feel. My big/first toes are definitely my longest, and the shape of this toe box is great for my toes to have the right room for natural movement. Also, so attractive and beautifully made!
These shoes look exactly as shown and the sizing was spot on. They're very comfortable and spacious. They are completely flat but spacious enough you can fit insoles in them if needed, and the back/heel is high enough that your foot won't slip out while walking after adding an insole. They came in a cute bag with my name on them. I've worn them a few times and have not gotten any blisters. Since I've only had them for a short time I can't say how well they'll hold up, but they seem to be great quality!
Beautiful shoes and the color pops so much!!! This is my second pair from this shop and I love them. I've worn my first pair from them in a different style and color every day since they arrived and knew I'd want something for spring/summer! So comfortable and stylish.
These are such well made shoes…
Thank you Bespoky for helping me with my order.
These are so comfortable and professional looking.
I appreciate you guys!
These shoes took a minute to get here, but were WELL worth the wait! Beautiful, comfy, light, reasonably priced and most likely VERY durable (though I plan to use them as indoor shoes). Highly recommended!
So far, I really love these. My only complaint is that they are tight on my "problem foot", which is my right foot. On my left foot, the bootie feels like a dream. On my right foot, where the seam hits the bunion, I'm getting numbness because the bootie is too tight. I went off measurements for size and thought the size I ordered would be fine because it seemed fine because I had extra room according to width dimensions. The whole reason I ordered these booties was to hopefully eliminate foot numbness due to too tight/improperly fitting shoes. I typically wear a 7.5 or 8 size and ordered a 38. The quality is beautiful. I'm just concerned about my numb foot.
I think these are made beautifully and are great quality but perhaps are suited better for smaller sizes. I have long and slender feet and wanted some barefoot shoes for work but there is a large gap all down the side of the shoe. There was also a large unexpected tax to pay on top of delivery so not suitable for those of us in the UK.
These are very well made shoes, size as described. Please be aware the leather is very soft so for two days walking they are completely creased. Creasing however looks like a slightly different leather have been used for both shoes so creased differently. Will see how long my OCD brain will be able to cope with that. Also I bought the shoes for £68 and had to pay additional £18 fees incurred. Ordered on 14th and received on 20th Nov
I'm a tall, gen-x working mom and I wear a women's size 13 shoe, so finding cute sandals that fit my budget and don't make my feet look huge is a continuous quest. With limited other options, I messaged this seller to ask if they could go one size larger than their listed size 12. They responded very quickly saying yes! I was so grateful, and they were on sale for a good discount.
Short order processing time, then shipping took two days longer than expected at time of order, likely the fault of USPS (item comes from overseas, not California as described).
When I tried them on, I was so relieved when they fit like a glove! The only qualm I have is: the straps to put them on were cut really wide so they are hard to thread through the buckles, but I think the material will get more malleable with wear. Thank you Bespoky!
For having spent almost $100 on shoes, I would expect them to come without scuffs.
Additionally the seller made a recommendation that wasn’t accurate, told me “I didn’t measure your feet” and that it was “just a recommendation.” Right, which I asked for because everyone on Etsy seems to make up their own sizes. So..as the business owner, I had expectations that the recommendation wouldn’t be a shot in the dark.
Overall I would suggest going to any number of other barefoot shoe leather businesses, which is a bummer. I liked their styles and selections but quality and customer support don’t align with the cost.
Too bad I’m responsible for shipping costs to do an exchange and returns not allowed. Lesson learned.
These are everything I wanted! The seller recommended a size based on my foot length and they fit perfectly. They are true to the photo and SO cute. Highly recommend.
