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.
Very comfortable and good looking but build quality needs work. I put in less than 5000 steps a day but after just three days of wear the place where the sole and upper are glued together was separating in several places on both shoes. They're still functional but obviously aren't going to last as long as they should. This seems like something more R&D could fix so I'm looking forward to the next gen.

Amazing
I've exclusively worn barefoot shoes ((most vivobarefoot and some offbrands) for the last 8 years. Just bought these (plus another model of Origos) a few weeks ago and man, these are so comfortable. These are the most comfy barefoot shoes I've ever worn. It's like I'm wearing leather gloves on my feet. They're warm too. If you continue to make new models, I will def get some. Maybe some boots like you have but lower. Some of us have thick legs and tall boots don't work for us, haha.

Awesome Shoe; Needs Just Slight Improvement
I love the way this shoe fits. It’s very much true to size and comfortable and goes with so many outfits. The only suggest I have for improvement is that the rubber used for the sole tends to wear through very quickly. If future models could have something tougher, it would be a five-star shoe in my book.
