These unusual barefoot sneakers are the shoe trend for summer 2025
A shoe that once enjoyed a niche existence is now experiencing a true style moment. No wonder, after all, running barefoot can be healthy for many reasons. As the DAK writes , running barefoot not only strengthens the foot muscles but can also contribute to improving general running technique, which in turn can relieve pressure on the hips and knees. In short: "Running barefoot helps restore balance to the body."
Barefoot shoe trends can fulfill all of these functions while also providing foot protection—a value that shouldn't be underestimated, especially in the city. But in addition to this functionality, the style of the shoes is also becoming celebrated worldwide. Street style has also discovered their trend potential, combining the sporty shoes with patterned midi skirts or romantic bustier looks.
A denim jacket and a checked midi skirt would be a pretty classic look in itself – but thanks to the barefoot shoes, the styling immediately looks special.
The Vibram shoes provide a great contrast to the black bustier dress, while the simple color still makes the look appear harmonious.
Barefoot shoes like those from Vibram are minimalist, fit like a second skin, and promise their wearers natural movement. In a time when luxury and functionality equally influence purchasing decisions, this trend is just what's needed. It's understandable, then, that the popularity of these shoes has increased by 110% in just three months. And everything points to further growth.
