Best barefoot shoes to pair with cropped trousers
Image via otzshoes.com I’m a big fan of ankle-skimming trousers at the moment. They’re flattering, great for wearing to the office (then dressing up in the evening) and a nice alternative when you need a break from jeans – what’s not to love? In case you’re struggling to find the best barefoot shoes that look […]

Scholl Pocket Ballerina: so wrong yet oh so right
When visiting Barcelona I knew that you have to keep your eye on your handbag but not on your shoes… Well I learnt that lesson when my mum’s sandals were stolen in Citadella park. Seriously, who does that? Anyway, it led me to the discovery of the Scholl Pocket Ballerina, which we luckily found in […]

New barefoot shoes find: Spanish camping shoes
I always like the challenge of finding a local brand producing barefoot or minimal shoes when visiting somewhere new and a recent trip to Barcelona didn’t disappoint. I find I can’t help but always notice what people have on their feet nowadays and it was good to see how many people were wearing very minimalist […]

Vivobarefoot Stealth Review
Although the shoes featured on Calceology tend to focus on lifestyle options I just had to include a review of the Vivobarefoot Stealth as, although more of a performance shoe, they scored top marks against the barefoot profile (see below) and I do occasionally wear them as an everyday trainer. When I initially made the switch to […]

Three H&M minimalist shoe finds: part three
DECK SHOES Of the three H&M styles, the deck shoes are the most expensive at €15 but still a very reasonable price in my opinion. For all three it’s worth noting that you get what you pay for to some extent and I wouldn’t expect them to last much longer than one summer with a […]

(All Minnetonka softsoles have just a leather bottom rather than a rubber outsole, which means they are very flexible and offer a great barefoot experience). Unfortunately, however, Minnetonka don’t ship […]

Three H&M minimalist shoe finds: part two
PLIMSOLS In addition to its range of colourful espadrilles, the H&M store in Lisbon also had two plimsol styles – these pictured with the four lace holes and another with three. I preferred the look of the four-lace style and also felt that the extra lace ensured they were properly attached to my foot (important to […]

Three H&M minimalist shoe finds: part one
Espadrilles Shopping solely at ‘official’ barefoot shoe brands, although great for the feet, isn’t always so great for your bank balance. And although I’m a huge fan of many barefoot brands on the market, I am always on the look out for minimalist shoe options from high street stores. One in particular where I’ve had […]

Nike Free 3.0 Review
Nike Free work as an everyday trainer that look great paired with skinny jeans or leggings – something that many trainers fail on in my opinion. Being available on Nike ID means there are limitless options for customisation and the range of pop colours are great for injecting some colour into your wardrobe. Although I’m usually a sucker […]
