You know what they say...

Big feet...need big shoes!

We have extended our range to include up to size 49eu/15US in the more popular styles, with plenty of stock in sizes 46, 47 and 48eu.

If you find it difficult to source larger shoe sizes in the colours and styles you want, please let us know!

We tend to stick with black as it's the "safe colour" when it comes to shoes but we know there are many of you out there that prefer colour!

At the other end is our 36eu/5US many tweens also fit this size and so for the parents out there when they are on sale...great opportunity!

Shop online anytime at www.thefunctionaljoint.com.au

Live local?
Drop in days are Friday 11am-1pm

Fresh from Australia's first Barefoot shoe expo. Here is my recap.

Big takeaway for me was seeing how far designs have come and noticing what styles people were most interested in!

We will be incorporating more women's fashion shoes in future.

Also handy to see other brands up close and what we hope to add to our collection.

Highly recommend 👌

We have an imperfect pair from a return.
The shoelaces on the left shoe were returned with some marks. I have cleaned them but alas...they are no longer that brilliant white.

They will be listed as "imperfect" at cost price.

Find them on the Barebarics page. They are the Arise - all white. Size 41eu/US8

Yes. I look at your shoes, how you walk and wonder what ailments you have. Let's call it an occupational hazard.

I cannot understand how people walk run, lift weights in these crazy platform runners with what looks like 6cm of foam underfoot. The wobble that I see! 🫣

The heavy footfall, that heel strike, the pitching forward! 🫣

Wearing fun shoes to coffee or an event is one thing. Doing your thing well while building your body, working, walking...that requires a steady gait strong feet and your brain knowing wear the ground is.

I'm not sorry for judging your footwear but I won't make you feel bad about it.

You only know what you know, and I'll educate without shaming you.

If you're in Sydney this weekend see if you can grab a ticket the first Australian Barefoot Shoe Expo!
