What is the break-in period?Updated a month ago

While there's no real break-in period, we do advise anyone new to barefoot shoes to ease into the product. Wear them in for a quarter-mile to start, and see how your feet feel the next day. Especially if your feet are used to typical, highly-cushioned athletic shoes, your feet may need several incremental wearings to strengthen your feet before wearing them for longer distances and more strenuous activities. Listen to your body!

Knit Trainer:
Our Knit Trainer requires a longer break-in period compared to the Adapt Trainer. This is our purest natural movement shoe to date, designed for an enhanced ground feel thanks to its cupsole construction.

While both shoes are crafted for comfort and performance, the Knit Trainer may take extra time to mold to your feet as it adapts to your natural movement. We recommend wearing them for short periods at first and gradually increasing wear time for a smoother transition.
