Barefoot Shoes Made in the USA (and USA-Based Brands)

If you’ve found your way to this post, chances are you’re searching for barefoot shoes made in the USA for one of two reasons:
1️⃣ You want to support local manufacturing, or
2️⃣ You’re trying to avoid the high prices, shipping costs, and new tariffs that come with ordering from overseas brands.

Either way, you’re in the right place.

Below you’ll find three lists — one for barefoot shoes manufactured in the USA, and another for USA-based brands whose production takes place abroad, and finally, one for foreign-based brands with US distribution.

Let’s start with the first category: barefoot shoes actually made in the USA. While the options are still limited, more have popped up in recent years, and brands like Softstar continue to expand their lineup. That said, since U.S. manufacturing typically comes with higher labor costs, these shoes usually aren’t the most budget-friendly.

If your main goal is simply to avoid the high shipping costs and new tariffs that come with international orders, then check out the second and third lists. These brands are based in the U.S. or have a warehouse in the US for local distribution, which means:

• Tariffs apply to their wholesale cost, not the full retail price (so the tariff impact is smaller).
• Brand is responsible for the tariffs, so no surprise bills later (though they’ve likely increased prices to absorb some of the tarrif).
• Shipping and returns are generally cheaper and easier.
• You’re still supporting small, independent businesses operating in the US (for the second list)

Foreign Brands with a US Distribution Hub

These barefoot shoes brands are based abroad, but they have a warehouse located in the US. This means that they’re responsible for the tariffs when they import the shoes into the US, and generally shipping and returns are easier. This list is less about supporting US business, and more about avoiding the uncertainty of a tariff bill.
