The Leguano Go is a lightweight casual sneaker with breathable knit uppers. Constructed by hand in Germany with super flexible and barefoot soles. Blending movement friendly function with easy style, they'll be a hit for leisure and play all summer long.
Colour update: Berry has been discontinued and Gold is only available up to size 44. White is unavailable until Spring 2024.
Sizing
Leguano offers unisex European sizing, and most of their models fit true to size.
The Go has a sleek fit style:
- suits feet that are average width to narrow width for most sizes
- the width does scale up with larger sizes, so around size 44 (men's 11 US) and up, the width starts to suit average width feet better than slim feet
- suits low to average volume feet
- toebox shape suits slope/Egyptian or mountain/Greek best
- those with square or plateau shape toes, longer outer toes, or very wide feet may want to size up
- Leguano shoes have a roughly rectangular footprint shape, rather than a triangle shape or a bean shape
Ground Feel
The Go has a sole made of Lifofit material which is thin, flexible, and slightly squishy. This material often surprises folks with how durable and grippy it can be!
The Go provides lots of sensation through the sole, and feels very close to the ground. It bends in all directions easily. If you are new to minimal shoes and used to thick, stiff soles, start out very slow and easy if you start with the Go.
If you enjoy when shoes feel as close as possible to being barefoot, this would be a great model for you.

Best Uses
The Leguano Go knit sneaker is airy, light, and offers fantastic barefoot feeling and movement freedom. They easily go from smart casual office days, to a strength training class, to a balmy summer night out. Experienced barefoot style runners with narrower feet may pick these up for running as they are very breathable and durable, but we expect most folks looking at the Go will be drawn to their style and comfort for casual everyday use.
