Check out this list of men’s barefoot dress shoes for comfortable, work appropriate shoe options that are zero-drop with a wide toe box.
Tired of wearing narrow, heeled, and uncomfortable shoes all day at work? Swap them out for barefoot shoes, which allows for healthy and natural movement and alignment.
While wearing a conventional dress shoe occasionally isn’t that big of deal, wearing them every day means your toes are regularly being squished, your body is adjusting to compensate for an elevated heel, and you’re changing your walking gait due to a stiff sole.
If you’ve started wearing barefoot shoes for other areas of your life, you may be (literally) feeling the pinch from your narrow shoes, and ready to ditch them for a foot-shaped pair. Here I’ve gathered a list of the best men’s barefoot dress shoes so you can find something that fits your feet and your style.

Here’s what to look for in men’s barefoot dress shoes:
Wide toe box — The toe box should be wide, allowing your toes to naturally splay. This means that your big toe can lie straight, so the toe box is either straight or splay out at the big toe. This is one of the most noticeable differences between a barefoot dress shoe and a conventional dress shoe, which has a pointed, symmetrical toe box.
Flat — The sole of the shoe should zero-drop, or flat. Men’s dress shoes tend to have a significant heel drop, which is essentially like standing on an incline all day.
Thin & Flexible — The focus on barefoot shoes is allowing the foot to function naturally, which includes a thin and flexible sole so the foot can easily move and bend. A super stiff sole featured in many men’s dress shoes forces us to change our walking gait to compensate for the lack of flexibility in the sole.
