Barefoot White Sneakers

Clean white and cream barefoot sneakers that go with everything. A wide toe box so your toes can spread, a zero drop sole so your heel sits level with your forefoot, and organic cotton canvas you can wear all day.

$85 a pair, or 2 pairs for $144.50. Runs small: order half a size up.

A white sneaker that's shaped like a foot

Most white sneakers taper to a point at the toes and lift the heel with a thick wedge of foam. They look clean, but they squeeze your toes together and tip your weight forward. Fission.01 keeps the clean look and changes the shape underneath: the front of the shoe follows the outline of a real foot, and the sole is the same thickness from heel to toe.

What you get

  • Wide toe box: room for your toes to spread when you stand and push off. How a wide toe box differs from a wide shoe
  • Zero drop: heel and forefoot sit at the same height. What zero drop means
  • 9 mm total stack: a 6 mm flexible recycled rubber sole plus a 3 mm removable insole, so you can feel the ground.
  • Materials: lightweight organic cotton canvas, leather lined mesh, recycled PET insole lining.

White or cream?

White is crisp and bright, the classic court-sneaker look. Cream is warmer and hides everyday wear a little better. Prefer something darker? See the black pair.

Keeping white canvas clean

Brush off dry dirt first, then spot clean with cold water and a little mild soap. Take the insole out and let the shoes air dry away from direct heat. Skip the dryer.

Questions

Do these run small?

Yes. Order half a size up from your usual sneaker size. Sizes run from men's 5 to 13 (women's 6.5 to 14.5).

Are these good for first-time barefoot shoe wearers?

Yes, with a gradual start. A thin, flat sole asks more of your feet than a cushioned sneaker, so build up your wear time over a few weeks. Here's how to transition to barefoot shoes.

Can I wear them without socks?

You can, but thin socks keep the canvas fresher. More on socks with barefoot shoes.
