Black Barefoot Desert Boots | Barefoot Pals

Amazing quality, perfect for the summer

Extremely happy with these shoes, I’ve two pairs of ninja leather boots and have been contemplating getting some less formal shoes, that are more casual. I normally wear vivo trainers and it’s really been bothering me about their impact on planet Earth. I’m so happy with these they are about the same price as vivos but the quality is absolutely outstanding, whereas I find the vivos are very plasticky and of poor quality. I’ve been wearing barefoot shoes for 3 1/2 years and these were what I would describe as snug as they do not have an extra wide toebox , they are very warm and the materials are really great quality. I would say that these are the most responsive barefoot shoes I’ve ever worn. You can really feel everything when walking. I feel very privileged to have got one of the 25 pairs, if you are contemplating going for this, I wouldn’t hesitate. I would probably rate this as the best shoe I have ever bought. Highly recommended.

These are lovely, really great fit and look good with either smart or casual attire.

I would think that these are perfect for the summer, also the material seems very breathable and I’m a big fan of the real rubber soles.

Double tie the leather laces as they can come undone.

Don’t hesitate go for it.

Hands down the most comfortable dress shoes out there. I have wide feet, so using their size guide I could have gone with three different sizes. The customer service was amazing and gave me some really good advice on which to order. Now I'm just keeping an eye out for the right side to pop up in the desert brown!

I love these boots! I've put about 100 miles on them thus far at work and they're great. A quick breakin also.

I have never had a work boot or just shoe fit me better. I work as a lighting tech in Film and TV, 12-16 days on my feet and these baby's have fealt amazing right out of the box.

This shoe is very comfortable, I particularly liked the stiffish toe box which gives the shoe the look of a regular hard leather shoe but maintains the moccasin like feeling of the upper part of the shoe. The leather tongue on the right shoe slips out but I think that adding a double slit on the tongue to pass the shoe laces through will fix that. All in all this is a barefoot shoe that looks almost dressy but lets you enjoy the feeling of freedom from you foot being compressed in tight fitting shoe

I received my new Desert Blaster custom barefoot horse hide boots and could not be more pleased with them! They are my absolute favorite pair of shoes I’ve ever acquired, and are a great value given the incredible quality & craftsmanship. The boots fit me perfectly & feel great right away. I really like the stiffness on them, they have great ankle support, yet are also very supple & comfortable. I feel like they’ll wear in beautifully. The chestnut color is lovely too. My wife’s first words when she saw them on me were “Wow, those are some dapper boots”. My deepest appreciation goes to Lisandro for his unmatched skill. I’ve been hunting for shoes like this for 20 years, and finally have my first pair of legacy boots that I’ll have for the rest of my life. They may seem pricey to some, but I can guarantee that they are worth every penny. Lisandro is the only bespoke barefoot shoe maker on the market, and he does an exceptional job paying attention to every detail. Gaucho Ninjas shoe conditioning formula is also the best I’ve found, smells delicious, and works very well at protecting the leather. I could go on an on about how pleased I am. Thank you Lisandro. My gratitude extends beyond words.

Arrived today and pleased with the sizing and look. They take BF shoes to a new level of quality and finish.

Thanks Li - after my botch job they are like new again. Muchas Gracias

They arrived and I love them, Lisandro! So much skill in your work. They are amazing.

Pals are great. I was an early adopter barefoot-wise but have lost my way in recent years. It's about feeling your feet.
If the Summer comes and stays then the're fine.
The customer support was exemplary. The best I've experienced in terms of aftersales.

Please give Lisandro my deepest thanks! They’re brand new, but still molded to my feet and the most perfect pair of shoes I’ve ever known, transformed by him back to their original state.

I would like to eternally thank you for being a master of master shoe makers. You have my deepest respect for your knowledge and artistry. Your shoes are not an object, they are alive, they have spirit, they move, they fit, they smell wonderful, reminding me of their natural origin and I am glad I made the decision to buy them.

“A lifelong fashion enthusiast, I sacrificed style 10 years ago and gave away my boot collection hoping to heal from debilitating injuries. Until discovering Gaucho Ninja’s handcrafted boots, I’d never known my soulmate in the form of barefoot footwear. My first pair won’t be my last - I pined for a year before placing my order, and they are worth every penny. Thank you, Lisandro!” Lainie
