Sizing
The Opanka Sandal is expected to fit true to size based on the official Vivobarefoot website. After testing in-store they seem true to size as well. For more assistance, refer to Vivobarefoot's sizing guide below. If you have a wide foot and you're in between sizes, go with the larger size.
Vivo uses gendered EU sizing and in the case of the Opanka Sandal, it is currently only available in Women's sizing. Women's sizing is built narrower and shallower compared to the same length in men's sizing. Men with narrower feet who have sizing options in the women's size range may enjoy the Opanka Sandal as well.
Fit Notes:
- The leather on the shoe will stretch out over time and so choosing a snugger fit so long as it's not constricting is recommended
- Vivobarefoot shoes tend to best fit people with Triangle shaped feet and sloping toes
- Best fits a low-to-average volume foot (slender and shallow to average width and height). May not fit higher volume feet well.
- The sandal has a leather covered elastic strap around the heel which adjusts to the shape of your foot. It is recommended to choose a snug size to prevent your foot from slipping out
Ground Feel
The Opanka Sandal is designed with a Minimal Sole to give you maximum underfoot sensory feedback. The 4mm sole with the signature Vivobarefoot hexagon tread made from natural rubber blend is ideal for a close-to-barefoot experience.
It is perfect if you're looking for the barefoot feeling while still staying comfortable and stylish in urban settings. It offers the lowest possible stack height without compromising on comfort and style.
If you're new to the world of minimal barefoot footwear and used to a lot of cushioning and support, don't worry. Just take it slow and easy with these sandals. Move in ways that feel good and let comfort be your guide. You may want to start with limited daily wear time and work your way up to longer walks as your feet and gait adjust. You can support these developments with mobility and strengthening work, ask us for resources!
Care
You can brush off dirt and wipe these clean with a damp cloth as recommended by Vivobarefoot. Make sure to allow the shoes to dry at room temperature and out of direct heat sources like direct sunlight and the radiator.
Best Uses
The Opanka Sandal is perfect for anyone who wants a versatile shoe for those sunny summer days. You can wear them for a leisurely walk around the city, and then easily transition them to a night out without having to switch shoes.
They are not intended for hiking nor athletic use, but for dressy and casual occasions.

Discounted Flat Rate according to Region via Canada Post
We are introducing Discounted Flat Rates for customers based on where you live in Canada.
Once your cart total reaches $100* or $200, a flat rate will be applied to your check-out based on your postal code.

Why the new shipping rates?
This new tiered flat rate system was created based on a need for our small business to catch up with rising costs of shipping, whilst also giving our customers a better shipping rate than if they were to pay at full cost. To make this fairer for everyone, we created these flat rates based on the region of the shipping address, as shipping costs are determined by region.
