The Retro Sneaker is a modern classic inspired by vintage styles, reimagined to fit barefoot principles. Created with panels of certified natural leather and an amber sole for contrast.
FEATURES
+ Leather Working Group-certified leather
+ Wide toe cage and no heel drop. Eyestay design makes this shoe feel spacious
+ 5-6 mm stack height for closer contact with the ground
MATERIALS
+ Natural Leather: Sourced from local and environmentally-conscious tanneries, our natural leather is not only durable and breathable but also adapts to your foot's shape. We use Leather Working Group-certified materials, emphasizing reduced environmental impact.
+ Soy Protein: Our innovative sneaker soles blend thermoplastic rubber with soy protein, improving biodegradability. This material choice not only reduces waste but also cuts down on carbon emissions.
SUSTAINABILITY + ETHICS
Ethical standards are at our core; our manufacturing prioritizes worker safety, above market wages, and humane treatment. We utilize small-batch production for efficient inventory management and waste reduction. Origo sources materials predominantly from North America and manufactures near our warehouse to minimize travel distances. Our eco-conscious approach extends to packaging, utilizing garden-compostable materials and innovative kraft shippers. Each pair sold also supports Amazon reforestation through our partnership with One Tree Planted.
I’ve never got so many compliments on barefoot type shoes. They have a real nice color and the leather feels extremely soft. I own other Origo shoes and they all so far have been extremely comfortable.

Well made and comfortable
Well made and comfortable shoes. Lovely and wide as expected and the brown soles are very cool. I don't think they look as nice as the everyday sneaker as the stitching is a little strange looking to my eyes. This isn't a fault with the shoe - they are exactly how they look in the photos! I wish there was and everyday shoe in black with a brown sole so I could wear them for work!

great shape, too thin for city life
The foot shape is awesome- I have super wide feet and ordered a men's size because of it. Unfortunately, these are far too thin for feet that walk on concrete and cement every day. I wore them daily in my city for a few months and developed heel and tendon pain in my feet. Even after adding extra insoles, they are just not protective enough to walk long distances on hard, flat surfaces.

Stylish, natural comfort
Really like how wide the toebox is, I can even wear them with toe expanders. And they're very stylish, people don't twig them as "barefoot shoes" unless you point them out. I got a cobbler to add some stiff tread to the bottom because I like a little bit of shock absorption and better grip -- it was already a good shoe, with my after-market alteration it's an incredible shoe.
