The forecast said rain, but I’m predicting 100% chance of SUNNY! 😋☀️🦓

Flexible + flat zebra soles, feather-light feeling, and a foot-shaped toe box have got me jumping feet first into SPRING with our freshest PK drop! 💛👣🌼

These SUNNY vegan boots are online now! 🙌

Hey, I’m Kate! A Kiwi living in Australia, long-time-lover of drawing weird things, going barefoot, and wearing weird shoes! (Never one to follow the crowd… although I did have a pair of cherry docs one time and I FU**ING hated how much they hurt!) 😅

Now that I’m a much bigger KID, I get to do all of this as my full time job! 🙌👣
I especially love creating foot-shaped barefoot shoes that feel like you’ve always owned them. 🙌

If you could turn your childhood loves into a job, what would you be doing today? (Or are you already doing it?)

Elastic laces in our higher style barefoot boots are a game changer!
No more tying and untying every time you pop them on… just slip them on and GO! 👟💨

I noticed these ones arrived laced up a little looser, but no problem, just adjust them to where you need them and you’re set. This pair is also so soft and light, no breaking them in, no blisters, and most importantly… no crushed toes! 👣

Thought I’d jump on and make a video ahead of our 8pm drop tonight! It’s a bit of a random one (not really a themed drop like normal)… but lots of cute, and lots of boot. 🤪 There is something for everyone!

If you’ve got a low or slim foot, you may also like to add one of our removable insoles… we’ve now got more sizes available in those, and some for the kids! They won’t take away the barefoot feel, but they do help to fill the space or give you a little something extra if you’re new to barefoot shoes. 👣🙌

And two weeks since the barefoot shoe expo in Sydney 🤯

Time is flying! 👣 We’ve got new shoes online, restocks of our awesome black and white pairs… and some fun chelsea boots to drop next Friday! 💛🐆

Imagine if shoes throughout history had always given human toes the room they deserve, instead of squishing them into tiny triangular toe-boxes like these…

How many foot problems would not exist today?! 🤯
