About us
SHAPEN barefoot is a global e-commerce brand of Slovak origin, a company setting trends in the world of barefoot footwear. The brand mainly aims to combine healthy footwear, premium quality and timelessly elegant, modern design, thanks to which barefoot shoes look stylish even on more formal occasions.
SHAPEN was born in 2017 out of a very personal need and an ambitious conviction. Mia, the brand's founder, realized that there was a lack of footwear on the market that could combine the health benefits of barefoot footwear with elegance and style. And so the SHAPEN brand was created - dedicated to redefining barefoot shoes with an emphasis on sophistication. Thanks to her unconventional thinking and courage to do things differently, she has developed from a small local company to a brand with international reach, which has become a global phenomenon and popular with customers in more than 80 countries around the world.
Mission statement
OUR MISSION IS TO DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL VALUE
At SHAPEN, we have decided to fuse two opposing worlds: the world of fashion and the world of healthy footwear. We combine an attractive design typical of fashion brands with the strict parameters of barefoot footwear. We free people from prejudice and encourage them to walk in a healthier way. We show that they don't have to compromise between style and the health benefits of footwear, because we bring world-class design to the world of barefoot.
Vision
OUR VISION IS TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY PEOPLE CONNECT WITH THE GROUND BY PROMOTING NATURAL AND HEALTHY MOVEMENT THROUGH INNOVATIVE BAREFOOT FOOTWEAR.
We envision a world where people embrace the freedom and benefits of the barefoot lifestyle and live life with greater balance, agility and mindfulness. We're committed to creating shoes that allow your feet to move the way nature intended, fostering a deeper connection between your body and your environment. We are part of the barefoot movement, trying to inspire a shift towards minimalist and sustainable footwear that increases overall well-being and promotes a more active lifestyle.
Our core values:
Natural movement
Our footwear is designed to promote natural movement and bring a healthy and conscious step into everyday life.
Sustainability
We use eco-friendly materials and responsible manufacturing processes to reduce our environmental impact and create long-lasting footwear.
Style with meaning
We combine design with functionality. Our models respect the natural shape of the foot while offering a modern look.
Confidence in every step
Our footwear combines comfort and style so that you can move with confidence and natural ease every day.
Innovation
We explore new materials, technologies and solutions to improve comfort, performance and the overall wearing experience.
Honest workmanship
We select durable, sustainable materials and process them so that the footwear lasts for many years.
Health and balance
When developing footwear, we think first and foremost about people. Supporting the natural work of the foot helps to improve stability, posture and overall physical well-being.
Connection with nature
We subscribe to the philosophy of grounding - reconnecting to the ground through movement inspired by walking barefoot. Our footwear supports this connection and allows wearers to experience the world to the fullest.
In our offer you will find a wide range of elegant and stylish barefoot shoes for every occasion, from business meetings and social events, to shoes for everyday wear. In addition to high-quality barefoot shoes, we also offer a variety of accessories. We were the first in the world to introduce barefoot tights – an exclusive product that preserves the natural shape of the toes even under formal wear. Our offer also includes stylish barefoot socks, special insoles, elegant shoe decorations and a wide range of shoe care products.
