Dune is where barefoot freedom meets soft, all-day comfort. With a minimalist shape and natural desert tones, it’s as easy on the eyes as it is on your feet.
The 11mm sole combines three layers: a natural rubber base, a lightweight EVA midsole for mild cushioning, and a premium water-repellent leather footbed. It feels soft, stable, and secure, with just enough give to keep your feet happy all day long.
Whether you’re walking city streets, dancing at a festival, or climbing rocky trails, Dune adapts. It’s our most versatile leather model to date - and a favorite for good reason.
For barefoot beginners
New to barefoot shoes? Dune is a smooth way in.
It offers everything you want from a minimalist sandal - flexibility, freedom, ground feel - with the bonus of some gentle cushioning. Your feet can start waking up naturally, without the shock that sometimes comes with thinner soles.
If you’re easing into the barefoot world or just want a comfortable transition, Dune is an excellent place to start.
For everyday use
Dune shines in everyday life, especially on hard, urban surfaces.
The soft leather footbed feels amazing underfoot, and the extra EVA layer gives just enough cushion to take the edge off long days on concrete. You still get that barefoot responsiveness, but with comfort that lasts all day.
It’s great for commuting, walking the dog, wandering city streets, or spending a full day on your feet.
For barefoot running
Dune works surprisingly well for running, especially on mixed terrain.
It offers better shock absorption than our thinner models, so your feet and joints stay a little more protected during long-distance efforts. Still light, still flexible - just a bit more forgiving underfoot.
We recommend it for anyone who wants to run barefoot-style but isn’t ready to go ultra-minimal.
Ground feel
Dune strikes a rare balance: it keeps you connected to the ground, while softening the impact just enough.
You’ll still feel the terrain, the shape of the trail, and the rhythm of your stride - but with a bit more comfort. Over time, the sole molds to your foot’s arch, enhancing fit and movement.
In water
Dune is one of the only leather sandals we trust around water.
The footbed is made from high-quality, water-repellent leather that grips well, dries fast, and doesn’t get slippery when wet. It holds up beautifully after stream crossings, wet hikes, or just a sudden summer rain.
It’s not a water sandal, but for leather? It’s pretty close.
