Summer barefoot shoes - a review of models
Summer – the time of sweet laziness at the cottage, mountain hikes, beach walks, or sightseeing. In each of these moments, shoes accompany us (well – almost always). That’s why it’s worth taking a closer look at this topic and choosing shoes that allow our feet to breathe while ensuring their health.
We’re of course talking about barefoot shoes, whose benefits we’ve already presented in several articles. Which minimalist footwear is best for summer? The answer to this question can be found in this article.
What should summer shoes be like?
It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for shoes for everyday wear, work, or business meetings, all of them should share a few common characteristics. What are they?
- High-quality material that won’t put extra strain on the skin of the foot (or cause irritation) and won’t increase things like sweating.
- Breathable, so the foot always has good access to air, ensuring there’s no moisture buildup.
- Comfortable for long walks, because with nice weather, we’re more likely to choose a walk over taking the bus or driving.
- Stylish and good-looking, because everyone likes fashionable shoes, and footwear from Magical Shoes combines both appearance and health!
Which shoes should you choose in different situations?

Sport barefoot shoes
If you prefer an active lifestyle, enjoy long walks, or simply prefer this style, the ideal solution will be the Explorer 2.0 shoes.
Based on feedback from our customers, we decided to create version 2.0, which meets everyone's needs. The Explorer 2.0 is one of the most versatile minimalist shoes. They work well both on mountain trails and urban sidewalks. Incredibly flexible, they mimic barefoot walking while still protecting your feet. Thanks to the zero heel rise (completely flat sole), they will allow you to enjoy your exercises or walks even more, as they promote healthy foot movement, which in turn can even improve athletic performance.
In version 2.0, we used a new synthetic non-slip material that allows the skin to breathe (goodbye sweaty feet), and we also increased the durability of the sole.
Another great versatile choice is the shoes from the Promenade model, which are a compromise between elegant and sporty footwear. They are suitable for both work and walks. Made from soft and breathable suede leather, they are the perfect alternative to leather for people who prefer not to use animal products.

Elegant barefoot shoes
If you're looking for elegant leather shoes, the perfect solution will be the flat minimalist CAMERON loafers. Made from natural full-grain leather, they will provide comfort during work or social meetings – say goodbye to heavy and uncomfortable shoes.
One of the key features of the summer CAMERON shoes is the wide toe box, which prevents any squeezing of the toes and ensures you won't feel foot fatigue even after many hours in the office or at a party.
Summer women's minimalist sandals
If you want to give your feet even more freedom, we recommend choosing lightweight women's sandals.
AURORA is a model made from soft leather that will perfectly fit your foot. The tanned leather insole protects against moisture and other external factors, and the sandals themselves are very flexible and stylish.

If you want to feel even lighter while adding a bit of quirky style, the MOANA women's sandals are the solution for you. Instead of fabric straps, we used laces that you can tie in any way you like. The style of the day will depend entirely on you. We wouldn't exaggerate if we said that these are probably the lightest sandals in the world!
Summer shoes for children
A child's foot requires special attention due to continuous development. You can read more about this in this article, but how to choose the best summer shoes for your child?
Before we decide, here’s one tip for you – let your child go barefoot as often as possible! Let them experience as many stimuli on their feet in a safe and controlled environment, which will allow them to build a solid foundation for the future.
For children, we recommend the MOXY BABY models, which are perfect for learning to walk and taking the first steps. Made with materials like natural full-grain leather, they won’t irritate your child’s foot.

Another great choice is the minimalist children's sandals COCO, which offer even more freedom and are perfect for both younger and slightly older children. Made from natural cowhide leather, they will withstand the little one's adventures in the yard!
If you want to make sure your shoes last for many years, you should take care of them as much as you do in winter. Although they’re not as exposed as in snow and moisture, sweat or a lot of dirt can also damage them. It's especially worth waterproofing or waxing them with a special polish before the first use. This will make them more resistant to dirt. How else can you take care of summer footwear?
- Regularly clean them from dust and dirt.
- Don’t store them in a damp place during the winter months (e.g., in the basement).
- Air them out from time to time.
- You don’t need to do it as often as in winter, but use waterproofing products to extend their lifespan. Your leather shoes will thank you.
