Protected barefoot feeling with barefoot / minimalist shoes

Our idea was to create a new type of shoe that enables the healthiest and most natural way of getting around - walking barefoot. The barefoot shoe from leguano, which has been developed over several years, gives the foot back its full freedom of movement, but at the same time protects it with its low-wear, non-slip sole, which adapts to every movement of the foot and its muscles.

The material of the sole is so resistant that even pointed and sharp objects remain largely harmless. The upper material encircles the foot securely and ensures that body heat is dissipated during movement and that heat is maintained during periods of rest. In addition to being used as running shoes, leguano's are used in all areas (indoor and outdoor), especially for children (from the size of a walker) and for seniors. The high slip resistance on every floor, combined with the strengthening of the foot muscles, enables a tool-free movement into old age.

​With leguano shoes you can feel comfortable and natural all day long while still looking your best!

why barefoot walking is good for you?

Walking barefoot is the healthiest and most natural form of forward movement. Some of the positive effects are: 

  • ​STRENGTH: helps re-develop the foot muscles that have become weak due to wearing shoes that restrict foot movement
  • BALANCE: Increases our sensory experiences of the ground beneath us, allowing the brain to develop new neural connections resulting in improved balance and stability
  • POSTURE: being barefoot places our bodies into a more natural alignment which often leads to a healthier posture and less strain on your joints
  • REFLEXOLOGY: walking barefoot on objects such as rocks stimulates pressure points in the feet that lead to improved energy, organ function, circulation etc..

why use Leguano shoes?

Leguanos are designed to protect the wearer’s feet without restricting their full range of motion. The uppers are made with kunert-twisted fabric which contributes to the following characteristics:
​
* Elasticity: the upper material expands to fit comfortably and returns to its original shape when you take them off
* Breathability: the material combination does not suffocate your feet, but instead effectively allows them to breath
* Lightweight: without the added weight of thick shoes they are extremely comfortable and great for travel
* Moisture-wicking: Any sweat or water is not absorbed or trapped in the shoe but is forced to the outside
* Quick-drying: They dry very quick on and off the feet (especially the “sneaker style”)
* Antibacterial: the material fights bacteria keeping them fresher for longer
“Thanks to their flexibility these shoes give me more freedom of movement and automatically put me on the balls of my feet while I am playing table tennis. This optimum position is actively and perfectly supported by leguanos. I am now a bit quicker and get the ball faster.”
