The Barebarics Wave is a bold barefoot sneaker that blends retro sport style with modern urban comfort — perfect for everyday wear and natural movement.

Features

  • The upper is crafted from premium Nappa leather, known for its durability and moisture-resistant properties, as well as easy maintenance.

  • Inside, the shoe features a lining made from Dermodry Coolmax® — a technical fabric that actively wicks away moisture and absorbs sweat, helping to keep feet dry and comfortable. Lightweight, breathable, and soft, this material is commonly used in high-end footwear and meets rigorous quality standards tested by independent labs.

  • The outsole is made from flexible synthetic rubber, offering strong abrasion resistance.

  • The removable insole is made from recycled PU and microfiber, providing great breathability and moisture control for all-day comfort.

  • Breathable thanks to perforated upper and textile lining. Not water-resistant or waterproof.

  • Inspired by retro sneakers from the 80s and 90s with street-art and basketball influences.

  • Designed for year-round casual wear.

  • Laces and removable insole for adjustability.

  • Sole: The Retro sole, made from durable e-rubber (synthetic rubber) with a 4.5 mm base and 1.5 mm lugs. This flat sole is designed for everyday, casual wear, offering moderate traction ideal for urban environments, light walks, and daily activities.

  • Zero Drop: completely flat from heel to toe.

  • Ground Feel: Moderate — the 6 mm total sole thickness offers some protection while still allowing sensory feedback.

  • Flexibility: the moderately flexible sole supports natural foot movement without restriction, encouraging the gradual strengthening of the feet.

  • Designed and hand-crafted in the EU 🇪🇺, using sustainable materials from local sources.

Fit Notes

  • Nappa leather does stretch out over time as the wearer breaks in the shoes, gradually molding to the shape of the foot.

  • Suitable for low to high foot volume: Laces and a removable insole make these adaptable to a wide range of foot volumes.

  • Toebox shape: plateau.

  • Wide Width: These sneakers are known to accommodate even extra wide feet with ease.

 

Sizing

Barebarics sneakers follow standard European unisex sizing.

They fit true to size, with a comfortably spacious toe box that allows your toes to move naturally. We recommend leaving 5–10 mm of extra space in front of the toes for optimal barefoot comfort.

Ground feel

This model offers less ground feel compared to most other models, mainly due to its firmer 4.5mm rubber sole. While this stiffness may initially limit movement, it is expected to become more flexible after a break-in period.

The removable insole, made from recycled PU, can help improve ground feel and reduce some of the initial rigidity. Additionally, the leather upper will gradually soften and mold to the foot over time, though it will not stretch enough to change the shoe’s overall size.

With its slight cushioning, this sneaker is a great choice for those new to minimalist footwear, as well as for experienced barefoot shoe wearers who prefer a bit of extra comfort.

Care

The Barebarics Wave sneakers are simple to maintain due to their premium Nappa leather upper and moisture-wicking Dermodry Coolmax® lining. To clean them, it’s recommended to gently spot-clean any stains and avoid using a washing machine. A light hand wash with mild soap will help preserve their appearance.

Best uses

Designed for versatility, the Barebarics Wave sneakers deliver great comfort across a variety of everyday activities — from extended walks and running errands to weekend outings. The combination of a zero-drop sole, wide toe box, and flexible construction promotes natural foot movement, enhancing all-day wearability. Engineered for urban lifestyles, these sneakers are ideal for daily use in the city.

Best For: Urban everyday wear.
