Poppis

Barefoot brand from Spain.

Poppis is a small Spanish brand making barefoot shoes mainly for children, with a smaller adult range in larger sizes too. I like that they are made by hand in a small factory in Elche, with a thin flat sole and a wide, roomy toe box. You can choose leather or a vegan microfibre line, and the sizes start at 24.

Specialities: kids, handmade, leather, vegan, wide fit

How Poppis fits

square toe box, wide width, medium volume

Poppis's own chart wants 0.8 to 1.2 cm of room beyond your foot length, and it says to go up a size if you sit on the border. The wide, straight shape suits broad forefeet, and the velcro or elastic-lace models help if your heel is slim.
