Rrat’s barefoot: minimalist sandals for total freedom

Rrat’s barefoot sandals combine functional design, sustainable materials and the essence of truly minimalist footwear. Made in Europe with Vibram soles and recyclable straps, they are designed for those seeking maximum lightness, ground feel and full freedom of movement.

All models feature a thin and flexible sole, zero drop and wide toe box, respecting the natural shape of the foot and encouraging an active and stable stride. The adjustable strap system allows precise and secure fitting for different foot shapes.

Rrat’s offers a truly barefoot experience, ideal for those who want to move lightly through the city, mountains or any terrain. If you're looking for minimalist, comfortable and vegan sandals, this collection is for you.

Features of Rrat’s barefoot footwear


Rrat’s sandals are designed to offer a lightweight natural experience, combining technical minimalism with functional and sustainable design. The range includes models such as Y‑Minimal, T‑Minimal, Y‑Gravel, T‑Outdoor and Y‑Mountain, for different activity levels. Their main features are:



  • Thin and flexible sole (4–8 mm): Allows you to feel the ground without compromising protection. For example, the Y‑Minimal model has only 6 mm of Vibram Claw adapted to terrain.

  • Zero drop: No height difference between heel and toe, promoting a natural stride.

  • Wide and ergonomic toe box: Respects the natural shape of the foot, allowing toes to expand freely for balance and comfort.

  • Durable and sustainable materials: 100% recyclable straps, UV-treated, water-resistant and easy to clean.

  • Lightweight: The most minimalist models weigh less than 150 g (T‑Minimal around 164 g) and fold easily.

  • High-quality Vibram sole: Vibram Claw and Vibram Megagrip depending on the model, for grip on all terrains.

  • Adjustable fit: Strap system at metatarsal and ankle for secure and custom fit.

  • Sustainability & local production: Made in the EU with 80% recycled components, using nearby factories to reduce footprint and donating 1% to environmental initiatives.


Differences between traditional and Rrat’s barefoot sandals


Rrat’s barefoot sandals differ from conventional footwear in several key aspects:



  • Extreme flexibility: The thin, flexible sole activates the foot’s muscles naturally compared to stiff traditional soles.

  • No excessive cushioning: The Vibram sole offers just enough protection without disconnecting the foot from the ground.

  • Neutral drop: Keeping both ends of the foot at the same height promotes a more balanced posture.

  • Biomechanical focus: Although there’s no formal certification, Rrat’s follows barefoot philosophy with minimal intervention in every model.


How to choose your size in Rrat’s sandals


Choosing the right size is key for barefoot footwear to work properly. Based on Rrat’s recommendations:



  • Measure your foot at the end of the day, making sure to include the longest toe.

  • Leave a margin of 0.8–1.2 cm: So toes have room to move freely.

  • Check their size chart: Available on their website, with EUR‑US conversions for proper selection.

  • Strap adjustment: The adjustable strap system allows a personalized fit, compensating for small size differences.


Care and maintenance of Rrat’s sandals


To extend their lifespan and performance:



  • Simple cleaning: Use water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents.

  • Air drying: Do not expose to direct heat or sunlight. Let them dry in the shade.

  • Durable materials: Water-repellent straps require little maintenance, and the Vibram sole is long-lasting.

  • Storage: Store them in shape and check strap tension regularly.


Reviews of Rrat’s barefoot sandals



  • On Reddit, they are compared to Bedrock sandals but more affordable and “plenty wide”. A user comments:


    “The sandals look Bedrock-ish but much cheaper. Also a less attractive foot shape, but according to the chart, they should be wide enough.”


  • Reviews on their website for the T‑Minimal are excellent (5/5), mentioning “A fantasy for the feet” and “very comfortable”.

  • A YouTube review highlights them as “vegan‑friendly”, with high recycled content and a Vibram Claw sole suitable for all terrain.


Is Rrat’s a barefoot brand?


Yes. Rrat’s defines their sandals as 100% barefoot footwear: very thin and flexible soles, zero drop, wide last, and lightweight materials. Although there's no formal biomechanical certification, their minimalist approach, adjustable straps and Vibram Claw/Megagrip sole clearly reflect barefoot philosophy.
