Sizing

 

This model fits true to size. Gaucho Ninja uses EU unisex's sizing for this model, accommodating feet that are of average to wide width and those with higher volume.

A: FROM BACK OF THE HEEL TO BIG TOE
B: WIDEST PART OF THE FOOT 
BALL GIRTH: THE CIRCUMFERENCE AROUND THE WIDEST PART

Add 1 cm for comfort on EU sizes (length only): that will be your exact size.     

Anya's Reviews mentions that customers with extra wide feet may still be able to comfortably wear the Barefoot Pals due to the soft and supple leather that will expand to accommodate your foot. However, there remains a possibility of having your feet spill over the stitching of the shoe.

We would like to add that this model is probably better suited to men and women with taller feet because this design considers a lot of space in the heel area.


Fit Notes

 

  • The leather this shoe is constructed from is very stretchy and soft, perfect for wide and extra wide feet.

  • The kind of footprint shape is bean.

  • We suggest this model for high volume. If you have medium volume, it is recommended that you use an insole so that the shoes do not look too loose.

  • Perfect for wide and extra wide feet.

  • The fit is adjustable with laces. Those are waxed cotton, high quality and are finished with a metal end.

  • The ideal toebox shape is plateau

  • The width in the forefoot area is skewed toward the big toe.


Ground Feel


It is expected that the Barefoot Pals will provide some of the best ground feel available compared to other models. The thinness and flexibility of the outsole make it optimal for anyone familiar with barefoot shoes who wants to achieve the greatest connection to the ground while still having a protective layer between their foot and the ground.


For those who are not very familiar with barefoot shoes, the Barefoot Pals may not be an ideal model to try, as they can lead to discomfort and pain on harder urban surfaces.

 

Care


Gaucho Ninja does not provide specific care instructions for maintaining or waterproofing the leather. Leather care kits are available on their website, but other kits designed for leather maintenance should also produce similar results.


Best Uses


The Barefoot Pals are the perfect mix of style and comfort, making them an incredibly versatile option! Whether you’re heading to the office or catching up with friends over a weekend brunch, they’ve got you covered. Their simple design and neat stitching mean you can easily pair them with dress pants or even your favorite casual jeans.
