The collection

Built Around the Natural Shape of the Foot.

Sneakers in cotton or leather and sandals in three models, every one of them Extra Wide. Open a model, pick a colour and type the pairs per size your shop would take. No payment, no commitment.

  • Price and date reach you before anyone else

How the pre-sale works

  1. You pick models, colours and pairs per size

    Everything goes into one list for your shop. No card, no account, no obligation.

  2. We order everything in one batch

    There is no minimum per colour or size. Every pair on the lists goes into one production run and arrives together.

  3. You hear from us first

    Price, date and the order link reach this list before anyone else. Then you decide.

Extra Wide

116 mm wide at EU 45. Every size is published in millimetres, so you can check it with a ruler.

Natural Foot Shape Fit

The cut follows the foot: a straight inner edge, room for the big toe, and a front that does not narrow at the little toe.

The idea

Built around the natural shape of the foot

The foot decides the shape of the shoe, not the other way round: flat, thin, flexible, and wide where a foot is wide.

Why barefoot?

Because your foot already knows how to walk. Most shoes just do not let it.

26 bones

The most complex structure you stand on

26 bones and 33 joints in each foot. A stiff, padded shoe keeps them still. A barefoot shoe lets them work.

Toes

Room to spread

A wide toe box lets your toes spread with every step. That is how you stand more stable and walk with more confidence.

Ground

Feel what you walk on

A thin, flexible, flat sole passes the ground to your foot. The foot reacts by itself instead of relying on foam.

What the research says

Studies, sources and how to switch at your own pace.

Our own sole

Extra Wide. Not wide. Extra wide.

Most barefoot brands stopped at wide. We designed the sole again from scratch: more room for the toes than in the shoes we knew, and a front that does not narrow anywhere. Every size is published in millimetres, so you can check it with a ruler.

Stability

A wider base, a steadier step

When your toes can spread under your body weight, your foot gets a bigger base to stand on. That is physics, not fashion: wider base, less wobble.

Even pressure

No toes squeezed together

In many shoes, pressure builds up on the big toe because the other four are pushed into a narrow tip. Our sole gives every toe its own room, so weight spreads evenly across the whole front of the foot.

All-day room

Built for feet that swell

Feet swell during the day: after standing for hours, in the heat, at the end of a long trip. The wide front has room to absorb that without pinching, from morning to evening.

No taper, anywhere

Toes where nature put them

Many shoes still narrow at the little toe. Ours does not narrow anywhere, so all five toes get to work the way they are meant to, not the way a last forces them to.

The story

It started by the river Brda.

4.bare was born in Nakło nad Notecią. The name, the colours and the lines of the shoes came from what we had outside the window: the river Brda, pine forests and sand by the water.

We made sandals, winter boots and shoes for children. They reached barefoot shops in Poland and abroad, and people who had once felt a wide toe box and a thin sole, and did not want to go back.

Then came a pause. Longer than we planned.

We used it for one thing: our own sole. Wider than what we knew from the market, with a honeycomb that bends in your hands. Today it is ready. So are the shoes: cotton in nine colours, leather in five. Now it is your turn: tell us which one.

For shops

Put something on the shelf nobody else has yet.

Extra Wide is our own sole, published in millimetres size by size. Before production starts, we want to know how many pairs, and in which colours, your shop would order.

  • No commitment at this stageYour reservation is a declaration of interest, nothing more.
  • What we ask a shop forThe same things as always: whether you sell online or in a physical shop, which barefoot brands you already carry, a link to your shop, how many pairs a year you plan, and your company details with a VAT number.
  • Wholesale terms come separatelyOnce you register, we contact you directly about pricing and quantities.
  • One batch, no minimumsEvery colour and size shops ask for is made, in one production run.

Questions before you pick

Is this an order?

No. It is a declaration of interest. You pay nothing and commit to nothing.

Why do you ask which colour?

So we can order exactly the pairs your shop needs. There is no minimum per colour: every colour and size on the lists is made, in one batch.

When will the shoes be available, and at what price?

The date depends on how many reservations come in. As soon as we know the date and the price, you get an email before anyone else.

Which sizes can I order?

EU 38 to 45. Every model page shows the insole length and width for each size, finds a size from a foot measured in millimetres, and prints a 1:1 template to stand on.

Are the sandals Extra Wide too?

Yes. All three sandal models are built Extra Wide, like the sneakers.

Can I reserve exact quantities across several colours and sizes?

Yes. On a model page you type the number of pairs next to each size of the chosen colour, and they go straight into your list. Repeat for other colours, then send the whole list with your shop details. We will contact you separately about wholesale terms.

What happens to my email?

We use it only to contact you about 4.bare. You can opt out with one click in any message.
