Oesh Shoes

Barefoot brand from United States, founded 2011.

Oesh is a small Virginia brand started by Dr Casey Kerrigan, a Harvard-trained doctor, and I'd say it's mainly for women, with a smaller men's range. They make zero drop trainers, flats, clogs and sandals with a roomy forefoot and a springy, cushioned sole, and the brand says all of them are vegan. They sell only through their own website.

Specialities: women, vegan, sandals, wide toe box, everyday

How Oesh Shoes fits

mixed toe box, standard width, mixed volume

Oesh uses a women's shape in US women's sizes, in one width only. I'd go up half a size for a wide forefoot or orthotics. Broad-toed folks should be careful with the Dream and Townie flats, as the knit uppers can feel snug.
