Designed Around the Body

goodyear welted barefoot shoes with sacred geometry design by gaucho ninja

The Pattern of Movement

Sacred Geometry

Our new sole is shaped around the natural patterns found in shells, plants and bodies in motion.
It distributes pressure naturally and supports balance, allowing the foot to do what it already knows how to do.

By pairing a resolable Goodyear welt with a flexible, zero-drop barefoot platform, this collection brings 100 years of craft into the modern barefoot world.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about ordering from the GYW Sacred Geometry collection.
  • Whenever possible, US orders ship directly from our warehouse in Utah. Because these are domestic shipments within the US, no customs fees or import duties apply.
    If a product is supposed to be stocked in Utah but happens to be out of stock there, it will ship from the EU or UK instead. To ensure the customer is not penalised for the item being out of stock, the seller pays all duties and taxes.
    Certain products (such as Tabi or PALS) are never stocked in Utah. Because these are standard international imports, the customer pays the customs duties and this will be transparent during checkout.

  • Yes. If your size isn't quite right when your boots arrive, you can exchange them subject to stock availability. We want these to be boots you truly live in.

  • In the unlikely event of a delay, we'll email you with a clear timeline and options. Your investment is protected.

  • We extended our return policies, and now you can return for a size exchange or a refund within 3 months after your shoes have been delivered, as long as they are returned in the original new condition. You can find more details in our return policies.

  • No. Goodyear welted is related to the construction of the shoe and not to the type of rubber. The inventor of the machine that does the Goodyear welt was the cousin of the founder of Goodyear tires, hence the common confusion. Goodyear welted is a traditional technique of constructing shoes that allows you to resole the shoes as many times as required, as long as the upper is preserved in good condition.

  • We have a warehouse in Ireland, and all the orders in the EU won't have additional custom charges.

    For the UK, we have some of the stock in our workshop in Hereford. If not, we will import your order to the UK and then forward it to you with Royal Mail. You won't pay for any of the extra duties.

Combining traditional shoe-making techniques with modern design principles focused on natural foot movement.

Goodyear Welt process by Gaucho Ninja

Embrace the barefoot revolution with Gaucho Ninja

GOODYEAR WELTED
BAREFOOT SHOES AND BOOTS

We want to introduce you to something revolutionary in the Barefoot world:
The first Barefoot shoes made with Goodyear construction.
The Goodyear construction is characterised by a horizontal seam that joins the upper, the insole and a welt. This welt is then joined by a second vertical seam, which joins the entire shoe to the outsole. This achieves the total integrity of the shoe and, in addition, it’s easy to repair.

A characteristic feature of Goodyear footwear until now has been its lack of flexibility. By working closely with the factory and meticulously intervening in every process, we were able to create the first Goodyear shoe suitable for the Barefoot user.

Completely flexible. A shoe that with every step you take, becomes more yours. With every step, your footprint will be moulded into the shoe.
