Atlantis Handmade

Barefoot brand from Turkey.

Atlantis Handmade make leather barefoot shoes by hand in Turkey, based on a traditional Turkish shoemaking technique. I'd describe it as mainly women's and men's loafers, slip ons, ballet flats, sneakers, boots, sandals and slippers, plus a small kids range. The shoes have a wide toe box and a zero drop sole, and you can pick a leather or thin rubber outsole.

How Atlantis Handmade fits

wide width

The brand says its toe boxes are wide and that the leather stretches, so it tells you to order half a size down from your usual size. Reviewers are mixed: one says true to size or half under, another wanted a size up for toe room. If in doubt, measure your foot.
