Note from Carets' Head of Product: The benefits of barefoot can be divided between Structural and Sensory. These textured socks provide Sensory benefits more than any other barefoot shoe product I've tried. More than even walking around barefoot. By placing their hyper-stimulating texture into a sock, the entire sole of your foot comes alive (instead of just the heel and arch). From wearing these an hour a day, I'm getting sensations in the less sensitive "blind spots" of my feet, which I don't think I've ever felt. It's helping me feel and strengthen the entire left side of my body, and solving all the weird imbalances I could never figure out before.

- Care for your Carets by using a shoe cream that allows for conditioning, shine, and water resistance. We recommend Saphir Médaille D'Or Shoe Cream which is made from all natural ingredients.
- Use a shoe horn to slip on your shoes whenever possible.
- After wearing your Carets, properly store them by slipping shoe trees (available at the Outlet Store) inside to help maintain their shape.
- As with all leather, try to avoid water, mud, snow, and salt. If your Carets get dirty, clean them off as soon as possible.
- Be sure to rotate your Carets with other shoes, as even the nicest dress shoes can wear out from constant use.
- Despite their comfort, try to refrain from exercising in your Carets!

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 high-end.
