Bramford
Barefoot sneakers for everyday wear and a night out.
Most sneakers have a narrow toe-box which is bad for your feet and toes — and most "barefoot" shoes are just ugly. Bramford combines the best of both worlds: a wide toe-box, zero-drop sole, and full-grain American leather. A comfortable sneaker for when flip-flops aren't appropriate.
“It has a lot of room in the toes, it's not pointy. It's stiff in the mid-sole and heel for support. It's easy to get on, and it has a zero heel-drop.”
Dr. Tom Biernacki — Podiatrist
Materials & Construction
Built with a full-grain leather upper for durability and a natural feel. A zero-drop sole keeps your foot level from heel to toe, and a flexible outsole lets your foot move naturally with every step. A cushioned insole adds everyday comfort without losing ground feel.
Sizing & Fit
If you are between sizes: US 11 and smaller should choose the larger size. US 12+ should choose the smaller size.
Shipping & Returns
Free standard shipping to New Zealand and Australia, dispatched from Auckland.
Returns and exchanges within 30 days of the original purchase date. Return postage is at your own cost in both countries.

Care Instructions
Wipe your shoes with a damp cloth to remove everyday dirt and dust. Let the leather air dry away from direct heat, and apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the upper supple and moisture-resistant.

What Experts Say
“It's so soft and tumbled that there's probably less break-in period than a one millimetre firm leather shoe — that's awesome. That alone to me makes the shoe worth it.”
Weston Kay
Rose Anvil
“This looks sleek! Good little toe box — not too wide. Doesn't look like Howard the Duck. These are elastic shoe laces so it slides on. The leather feels extremely nice on this.”
