Josef Seibel Barefoot Shoes
A 140-year comfort footwear legend embraces the barefoot movement. The women's Wynona and men's Wallace collections are now available at BarefootBrit Shop.
When a Master Shoemaker Goes Barefoot
Josef Seibel has been making shoes since 1886. Six generations of shoemakers, millions of pairs, and a reputation built on one principle: feet deserve comfort. Now they have turned that principle toward barefoot design.
Why it matters. The barefoot shoe world has been built by specialist brands - newcomers with a philosophy. Josef Seibel is different. They are a heritage manufacturer with 140 years of material expertise, construction knowledge, and quality control. When they apply all of that to wide toe boxes, flexible soles, and natural movement, you get something the barefoot market has not seen before: barefoot shoes with a century and a half of shoemaking behind them.
Two collections, one philosophy. The women's Wynona and men's Wallace lines bring Josef Seibel's comfort DNA to barefoot design. We are stocking the full Autumn/Winter colour range across both.
