Aintap

Barefoot brand from Turkey, founded 2020.

Aintap makes handmade natural leather barefoot shoes in Gaziantep, Turkey, a city long known for its traditional Yemeni shoes. The range is mostly women's and men's styles, including boots, sandals, slippers, oxfords, loafers and sneakers, plus a small kids range and some socks. I like that they have a wide toe box and zero-drop soles, and the shoes are made in-house from vegetable tanned leather.

How Aintap fits

rounded toe box, wide width, high volume

I'd say these suit wide, higher volume feet best, and they run roomy through the heel and ankle, so narrow heels may want a heel grip. Most reviewers find them true to size, but one boot reviewer needed to size up, so measure carefully or ask about a custom fit.
