Built for Barefoot Believers
Zero-Drop in Disguise
Carets appear to have a heel, but your foot rests inside it for a zero-drop fit. You get the same natural and upright posture as being barefoot for happy ankles, knees, and back, but with a sophisticated look. Without a heel, other minimalist dress shoes simply don’t look professional.
Secretly Wide Toe Box
We think feet are happiest and healthiest when their toes are free to move naturally, not squished together. Carets’ wide toe box is stylishly camouflaged, but still allows your toes to splay like the other barefoot shoes you’ve tried.
The lines measure the space for your toes to spread. Since these lines are equal in length / angle, the toe room you have in a Vivobarefoot Ra pictured here is about the same as a Carets FER Oxford.
Surprisingly Flexible
The bottoms of your feet are flexible, so your shoes should be too. Carets’ flexible soles allow your feet to move their natural way—just like the casual barefoot shoes you love.
The Most Realistic Faux Heel
Many barefoot brands are now using their own faux heel designs in their dress shoes. What's different about ours is how realistic they look. Every time our dress shoes are shared in a barefoot community, there's at least one comment declaring, "These can't be barefoot, they obviously have a heel," with several others in agreement.
If experienced barefooters can't tell that these are actually barefoot, your boss and clients probably won't, either.
