A list of zero drop shoes with a wide toe box & cushioned soles
Also known as minimalist shoes, transition shoes, or cushioned barefoot shoes
(Last updated 8/11/24)
The shoe brands on this list make at least some models that feature a wide toe box and no heel elevation. Whereas many barefoot shoe brands aim to have the thinnest soles possible, the shoes featured on this list have soles that are about 10mm thick or more (not including the insole) to provide additional shock absorption.
