Men Ankle Boots, Nubuck Pink Full-Grain Leather — Zero Drop Fit, $96
Ankle support without giving up the flat, flexible sole that got you into barefoot shoes in the first place. The nubuck pink full-grain leather upper wraps a true zero-drop, 4mm outsole, so the transition from sneakers to boots doesn't quietly reintroduce a heel lift.

Why Full-Grain Leather (Not Buffalo)
A "genuine leather" label doesn't rule out buffalo hide, which is coarse and slow to break in. Bespoky uses calf leather exclusively, finer in grain and noticeably faster to soften. Read calf vs. buffalo leather.

Customer Questions
Customer Questions
Will nubuck pink look different after a year of wear? Expect a light, even patina rather than dulling, since the color runs through the nubuck pink hide rather than sitting on top. Care guide.
Are these too dressy for weekend errands? Not at all, they're comfortable enough for errands and casual enough with jeans to not look overdressed.
How many wears before the boots feel fully broken in? Most buyers report the full-grain leather feels fully broken in within 5-7 wears of normal use.
Can I speed up the transition if I'm already active? Somewhat, but it's still safer to add time gradually over a week or two rather than jumping straight to all-day wear. barefoot transition guide.
Are these resoleable? Yes, hand-welted construction makes them resoleable rather than disposable. Explore the broader men barefoot shoes lineup or barefoot boots men.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 1379 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!
Ordered the wrong size shoe. Contacted them how to process a return or exchange over a week ago however they have not yet gotten back to me. I would like there to be better contact / communication for returns.
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.
I originally gave these a 5 star review but after wearing them for a few months the sole has come apart. The inner material is very flimsy, almost seems like cardboard. When I contacted the seller, it was suggested that this was my fault or as a result of being wet, however I only just wore them normally around town for a few months. I am going to try and repair them myself but I think they might need a complete re-sole
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!
I have worn a US size 8 my whole adult life…however…when I tried on my shoes they were too small. When I contacted the seller, he told me I could have a larger size, but only if I sent back the shoes (at my expense) within three days. I decided this was too much trouble and eventually donated the shoes to Goodwill. Not what I would call a great shopping experience.
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
A foot-shaped design gives your toes room to spread out naturally, creating a wider, more comfortable fit. The anatomical last mirrors the natural contour of your foot for an experience that feels custom-made from the first step.

FLEX
Unrestricted Natural Movement
