We have paid special attention to all parts of TULIP ballerinas not only to make them look good but also to let them meet all the criteria of barefoot shoes. An anatomically shaped toe box is soft and holds its shape. A thin foam layer is attached under the insoles for achieving better walking comfort. Tulip ballerinas are shaped in such way to hold the heel in place and to prevent rubbing. TULIP barefoot shoes have a loop so they can be worn with or without straps. A shoe welt is made in such way that it prevents your foot from sliding and holds the shoe onto your foot and ensures that the toe allowance is where it should be - at the front of the shoe.
You can choose either normal or slightly wider fit, please see the size guide.
Please note that these shoes are meant to be worn on formal occasions mainly. Wearing them in outdoor activities, driving a car etc. will ruin the leather.

They are good shoes, but the sizing chart is completely off. Now I need to return them.

So fine and soft, but to small

Lovely festive ballerinas. The size chart is not correct, it corresponds to a number smaller, i.e. I bought a size 42 for a 25.8 cm foot, which was just fine. The attachment point of the second shoe strap on the heel when new still rubs a little with tights, but fine with a normal sock. Throwing in new credit party shoes.

It's an absolutely beautiful shoe, perfect for work and events. It doesn't look as "barefoot" as other shoes because of the ankle straps and the ballerina shape. My feet are 25.8cm long, 9.9cm wide. I ordered the 41 wide. The inner length is listed as 27cm so I was worried it would be too long. It is actually a little short! I wish I had ordered the 42 wide. I'm hoping the leather will stretch out with time and give me a few extra mm. I'm not sure how Shapen is measuring their shoes because I have other shoes that are listed as 26.8cm in length and they are much longer. Ordering from Natural Movement was a good experience as well!
