JOA Barefoot

Barefoot brand from Denmark.

JOA is a Copenhagen brand that designs minimalist barefoot sneakers, handmade in Portugal by a family-owned manufacturer. The range is unisex, made for both men and women, with leather and suede uppers and a plain, classic look rather than an outdoorsy one. They describe a wide toe box and zero drop, though one UK reviewer found the fit on the narrow side, so it's worth checking sizing.

How JOA Barefoot fits

sloped toe box, narrow width

I'd say these suit narrower feet best, as the shape tapers and sits snug through the midfoot. JOA say they fit small, so I'd go up a full size if you're between sizes (they only do whole sizes), though a couple of reviewers found them slightly large.
