  • Women: If you are in-between sizes, we recommend that you order the larger size. If anything, Splay shoes run a little small for women.
  • Men: If you are in-between sizes, we recommend that you order the smaller size. If anything, Splay shoes run a little large for men.
  • Children & Youth: Our children and youth shoes generally run true to size. Please double check by printing out our Sizing Guide by following the link below.

    Great show!

    I love these shoes! The design is great and they are very durable. My only issue is that they are very big in the heel area and slip off while walking or working out. My feet are Greek shaped, so I have a wide metatarsal and skinny heels. I'm sure that most people won't have an issue with that problem, but it might be something to consider if you have narrow feet.

    My toes and bunion can breathe!

    My first Splay shoes, and I love how comfortable they are! With a big bunion on my right foot, I always look for wide-width options. I had no idea wide toe boxes existed until I researched and learned they’re essential for natural toe splay. I also discovered that thinner soles improve foot strength and health. These shoes check both boxes and more—can’t wait to buy more!

    Almost there

    This shoe looks good and seems to be made well. It’s much more flexible than the 101s and I prefer it over them in every way. I don’t love the stack height but it’s kind of necessary for the look. The insole included has arch support which is bizarre for a “barefoot shoe,” and my foot was sore after wearing them the first little while. I get more heel slippage in Splays than any other shoe and this is true here as well. This is a sneaker with a wider toe box than traditional sneakers but its not wide — I would consider it a transition shoe, but not something for hardcore barefoot/minimal people.

    First pair of Splay shoes

    These are my first pair of Splay shoes and I love them! They fit great and feel good as I transition fully to zero drop shoes. I have plantar fasciitis and these are helping to correct my problems!

    Really cute

    I have run in them- but they are mostly my go to casual shoe as they are very cute.

    Dear Splay- I wish you made a suede leather “half-cab” style skate shoe made in the US. Every skateboarder would buy that. Your skate shoes are great- but you don’t have one of the most iconic skate silhouettes. Look up the classic half cab. Make it simple and you will have a very popular product.
