A Foot-Healthy Minimalist Dress Shoe for Women
The Ahinsa Ananda Barefoot Ballet Flat is a foot-healthy dress shoe for women that works great in a variety of settings. Use these lightweight vegan shoes in the workplace to meet office dress codes or around town to restore foot health while looking fashionable. Easily foldable and packable, the Ananda Barefoot Ballet Flat is a comfortable shoe that lets your foot become (or remain) strong on its own.
Wide Toe Box, Flat & Flexible Sole, Barefoot Feel
This minimalist, Mary Jane-style shoe, which includes an adjustable velcro strap, fits snugly around your heel yet offers an abundance of space for your toes to splay. The toe box of the Ananda Barefoot Ballet Flat is among the most generous we have seen, and the flexible zero-drop sole helps enable natural arch support. This barefoot dress shoe for women allows your foot to function the way nature intended.
Works With Correct Toes & Other Helpful Footgear
The Ahinsa Ananda Barefoot Ballet Flat is Correct Toes compatible and works well with other helpful natural footgear, including Injinji toe socks, Pedag metatarsal pads or Strutz Pro foot pads, and Naboso insoles. This combination of products can be helpful for a variety of foot problems, such as bunions, crooked toes, ball of foot pain, and plantar fasciosis. Each Ahinsa Ananda Barefoot Ballet Flat shoe weighs about 4 oz.
Note: If you are new to using Ahinsa footwear, we recommend that you start in slowly, gradually building up your wear-time and giving your body the chance to adapt to the thinner soles and the increased workload on your feet.
