“A real barefoot shoe should avoid elevating the heel, restricting the arch, or cramping the toes. The GORAL shoes strike a perfect balance, with a well-designed forefoot shape that accommodates natural foot positioning without allowing excessive splay.”

What Makes The Barefoot Sneaker Special?

THE FOUR KEY STAGES OF SHOEMAKING CRAFTSMANSHIP

CLICKING

The clicking process is a crucial step in shoe manufacturing, where the individual leather pieces that make up the upper are cut into precise shapes before being assembled. This stage gets its name from the sound the machines make as they cut through the material.

CLOSING

The closing process in shoe manufacturing refers to the stage where the individual components of the shoe upper, such as the vamp, quarters, and tongue, are sewn or stitched together to form the complete upper structure of the shoe.

LASTING

The lasting process is a critical stage in shoe manufacturing, where the shoe's upper is molded into its final shape and attached to the sole. This process gives the shoe its structure, fit, and comfort, making it one of the most important steps in creating a well-constructed shoe.

FINALISING

The shoes undergo a thorough inspection and refinement before they are packaged and shipped to you. This process is critical for ensuring that each pair of shoes meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.

Goral Barefoot Sneakers

As expected, the shoes arrived in pristine condition. The packaging was top-notch, including shoe bags to keep my purchase safe and sound. They were super comfortable right out of the box and fit me like a glove. The craftsmanship is truly impressive. I’m absolutely loving my new kicks and I’m confident they’ll last a lifetime. I’m a big fan of supporting local craftsmen and small businesses, and I highly recommend this company. I’m sure I’ll be back for more!

Great shoe

Great shoe. I would size up by a half. Tight.

OMG. These are my new every day pair. One of the best pairs of shoes I’ve ever owned. They feel like they become part of you once you break them in. And they look better the more you wear them. I recommend tan colored laces though.

Excellent in every way

If there’s currently a better barefoot style sneaker being manufactured, I’m not aware of it. Superlative craftsmanship and quality.
