Urbanroot

Barefoot brand from Hong Kong.

Urbanroot is a Hong Kong brand making unisex barefoot shoes for city life, plus barefoot crew socks with a wide toe box. I like that there are two quite different shoes: the CWB is a leather shoe that the brand says is handmade in Taiwan, and the EZ01 is a more sporty, retro-looking zero drop shoe with a removable insole that adds a little cushioning and a 2mm heel lift to ease you in. The CWB is cut slightly narrower than some brands, so check the size guide, as the two models size differently.

How Urbanroot fits

standard width

Urbanroot say the CWB is a touch narrower than some other barefoot brands, with extra toe box height, so wide feet may find it snug. The EZ01 and CWB sizes are not the same, so use their size assistant for each model. They offer 30 days of free size exchange.
