We get it—making the switch to barefoot shoes sounds awesome, but when you dive in, it can feel like stepping into a maze.

We were in your shoes, literally and figuratively, back in 2012. We knew we wanted to experience the benefits of barefoot walking, but with all the information out there, we didn’t know where to start.

The options seemed endless, the advice was conflicting, and let’s not even talk about the prices—ouch!

It’s easy to get stuck in that loop of wanting to make the change but feeling overwhelmed by everything that comes with it.

We made it through to the other side, fortunately, but we are well aware of what might be stopping you from doing the same…

Maybe you’ve already spent hours researching, only to end up more confused than when you started.

Or maybe you’re worried about spending a small fortune on shoes that might not even be the right fit for you. Trust us, we’ve been there (and we have a mountain of shoes in our closets to prove it).

Maybe you are worried because some people claim the transition brought them more harm than good and caused discomfort or even pain – and yes, that is also something that can happen, if you don’t go about the transition correctly.

But here’s the good news: A lot has changed in the last 8 years and stepping into the barefoot walking world is easier than it ever was…

…and not to brag, we think we are the ones that made the biggest impact in that process.

We documented everything we did during our journey, gathering all of the crucial information, reviewing almost every model of shoe out there, and finding every reliable advice there is.

Then we started making video guides and writing countless blog posts, and soon after people started contacting us for 1-1 consultations. There we could see what were the real hold-ups and what people were having the most trouble with.

Soon we had more than 450k followers, which was more than we could have ever dreamed of.

And we wanted to offer them an easy, fun, and safe way they could embark on this journey by themselves.

And that is how the Barefoot Universe Academy was born!

This isn’t just another generic course—it’s a step-by-step guide designed specifically for people like you who want to make the switch to barefoot walking without the stress and confusion.

Imagine having a clear, simple path to follow, where you will:

Get to know your feet (with detailed video instructions for measurements, so you get the right ones for sure),
find the perfect barefoot shoe for your feet and your lifestyle (without countless hours of browsing through online shops and comparing descriptions and reviews),
avoid spending a small fortune along the way (discount codes, yay!),
and transition to natural walking in a way that’s safe and enjoyable – without shin splints, knee pain, calluses, and the like.

No more guesswork, no more endless hours of research, and no more worrying about whether you’re making the right choices.

This course is your shortcut to a healthier, more natural way of walking—without the overwhelm.

So if you’re ready to finally make the leap and start your barefoot journey, let’s do it together.

You’ve got this, and we’re here to help every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take me to master barefoot walking and improve my foot health?

What if I have questions/need help as I'm going through the course?

Our barefoot walking course is designed to be self-paced and comprehensive, providing you with all the necessary information and guidance to make a smooth and safe transition. We have included video and audio lessons, and visuals to help you understand the content better.

However, we understand that transitioning to barefoot shoes can be a new experience for some, and you may have questions or need additional support. That’s why we offer personal 1:1 consultations (charged extra – not included in the price of the course), if you need more support.

I am interested in improving my foot health but don't have any experience with barefoot shoes. Is this course for me?

Absolutely! The Barefoot Universe Academy will guide you through the process of transitioning to barefoot shoes, improving your foot health, and preventing future problems. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, this course is designed to help you achieve your goals.

Is this Academy a rehab program for my feet?

No, Barefoot Universe Academy isn’t a rehab program and it doesn’t contain any medical advice. If that is what you’re looking for there are many resources available online.

How long do I have access to the course? What if I don't have time to start right away?

You’ll have access to all the content for an entire year from the day of purchase! So don’t fret if you can’t start right away. You’ll have plenty of time to dive into each lesson, revisit it as many times as you need, and master the art of barefoot shoe-wearing and foot health.

I feel like I am too old for change and getting my feet healthy will take too long. Is this course going to help me?

It’s never too late to make a change!

Proper transition is important, but waiting for perfection or the “right time” will only hold you back. Take action now and gain clarity on how you can help yourself. We’ve seen amazing transformations in people of all ages, including our own parents!

Why do I need to buy a course to wear barefoot shoes? Is it really that complicated?

Barefoot shoes won’t work if they aren’t the right width and length for your feet.

We know this firsthand – our first-ever barefoot shoes were too short and narrow for our feet! But we quickly learned that if you want barefoot shoes to work and help your feet move as they’re supposed to, they shouldn’t interfere with your natural foot and body movement.

When your feet can’t move freely inside the shoes, they can’t work as shock absorbers, which is an unnecessary strain on other parts of your body.

So, choose your first pair of barefoot shoes wisely!

Will barefoot shoes cure my foot issues?

We love barefoot shoes, but they won’t magically heal any foot problems you’ve developed over the years. While barefoot shoes are a necessary starting point for restoring your foot health, they won’t do all the work for you.

As adults, we’ve spent years compensating for stiff, rigid, and narrow shoes, and it takes time to reverse the damage. But don’t worry, we can help you support the functionality of your feet with our step-by-step methods inside Barefoot Universe Academy.

How do I enroll in the Barefoot Universe course?

The process is very simple. All you have to do is buy the course and we will send you everything you need to access the lessons by email. You can do all that in a couple of stamps by clicking on the button below:
