Built like a foot, not a fashion last

Barefoot freedom in an everyday sneaker

Most sneakers taper to a point and lift your heel. The Larrikin doesn't: a foot-shaped toe box lets your toes spread, the sole sits dead flat at 0 mm drop, and the gum rubber is thin enough to fold in half, so your foot bends, grips and balances on its own.

On the outside it's a sharp black sneaker. The knit breathes on a 35-degree day, dries fast after a rogue wave and sits right with boardies, chinos or jeans. Walk the esplanade, grab a coffee, stay for lunch.

  • Walked the jetty, had two flat whites and sat through the footy at the pub. Didn't think about my feet once. Sand shakes straight out of the knit.

  • Bought two pairs of 'wide' shoes before and sent both back. These are actually wide, and the flat sole took me about a week to get used to. Now they're my daily pair.

  • Size 46 and wide. First shoe in years where my little toe isn't folded under by lunch. Got the socks as well, worth it.

Four details that make the difference

Why it feels like nothing

feature-01-2x1.png

Foot-shaped toe box

Toes out of the queue

The toe box follows the shape of a real foot instead of a point. Toes lie flat and spread, so there's no pressure on the big toe joint or the little toe.

feature-02-2x1.png

Heel and forefoot level

Dead flat, 0 mm drop

No raised heel, no arch prop. You stand the way you would barefoot. New to it? Ease in with a couple of hours a day for the first week.

feature-03-2x1.png

Thin flexible gum sole

Folds in half

Roll it, twist it, it springs back. The triangle tread grips wet pavers, café tiles and boardwalk timber, and you feel the ground without feeling every stone.

feature-04-2x1.png

Breathable quick-dry knit

Hot days sorted

Open knit upper with a soft mesh footbed. Air moves through on a hot afternoon, sand shakes out and a wet pair dries fast in the sun.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick my size?

Measure your foot from heel to longest toe and match it to our size chart: 24.5 cm = AU M7 · EU39 · 25.0 cm = AU M8 · EU40 · 25.5 cm = AU M9 · EU41 · 26.0 cm = AU M10 · EU42 · 26.5 cm = AU M11 · EU43 · 27.0 cm = AU M12 · EU44 · 27.5 cm = AU M13 · EU45 · 28.0 cm = AU M14 · EU46 · 28.5 cm = AU M15 · EU47. Between two sizes? Go up.

I've never worn barefoot shoes. Is it a big change?

A bit. Zero drop works your calves and feet harder at first. Wear them a couple of hours a day in week one, then build up. Most people are wearing them all day within two weeks.

Are they good for wide feet?

Yes. The toe box is wide from the start, so you don't have to size up for width. Pick your size on length.

What do they look like?

A clean black knit sneaker with a tan gum sole, also in navy, white, grey and burgundy. Easy to wear with shorts, chinos or jeans.

Can I wear them on sand and in the wet?

Yes for sand, wet paths and the odd splash: the knit dries fast and sand shakes out. They're not a water shoe, so don't swim in them.

What are the Splay Toe Socks for?

They keep each toe separate so your toes spread fully inside the wide toe box. Add them with the shoe for $118.95 and save $10.

How do I clean them?

Brush off sand, hand wash in cool water with mild soap and air dry out of direct heat. No washing machine, no dryer.

What if they don't work for me?

You get 30 days money-back. Shipping within Australia is free.
