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.
  • No. Prices for the US include duties and import fees, so the price you see is the price you pay. Sales tax is calculated at checkout. Your order ships from our US warehouse, or from the UK with the duties paid by us.

  • 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.

  • There are none for you to pay. EU orders ship from our EU warehouse, or from the UK with the duties paid by us. Local VAT is shown at checkout. UK orders ship from the UK with no import fees for you.

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.
